Safety Instructions • English
This symbol is intended to alert the user of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature provided with the
equipment.
This symbol is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated
dangerous voltage within the product enclosure that may present a risk of
electric shock.
Caution
Read Instructions • Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before using the equipment.
Retain Instructions • The safety instructions should be kept for future reference.
Follow Warnings • Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the equipment or in the user information.
Avoid Attachments • Do not use tools or attachments that are not recommended by the equipment
manufacturer because they may be hazardous.
Warning
Power sources • This equipment should be operated only from the power source indicated on the product. This
equipment is intended to be used with a main power system with a grounded (neutral) conductor. The third
(grounding) pin is a safety feature, do not attempt to bypass or disable it.
Power disconnection • To remove power from the equipment safely, remove all power cords from the rear of the
equipment, or the desktop power module (if detachable), or from the power source receptacle (wall plug).
Power cord protection • Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them.
Servicing • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. To prevent
the risk of shock, do not attempt to service this equipment yourself because opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Slots and openings • If the equipment has slots or holes in the enclosure, these are provided to prevent
overheating of sensitive components inside. These openings must never be blocked by other objects.
Lithium battery • There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions of
the manufacturer.

Introduction
This guide describes the function, installation and operation of the Extron MSW 4V rs
and MSW 4SV rs mini video switchers. Unless otherwise stated, the terms “MSW” and
“switcher” refer to both models.
About the MSW 4V rs and MSW 4SV rs Switchers
The Extron MSW 4V rs and MSW 4SV rs are four-input, two parallel output, mini video
switchers (MSWs).
The MSW 4V rs switches between a maximum of four NTSC, PAL, or SECAM composite
video inputs on female BNC connectors and produces two identical video outputs
on female BNC connectors (see figure 1 on page 2). The video output is a buffered,
composite signal.
The MSW 4SV rs switches four S-video (luminance [Y] and chrominance [C]) inputs on
4-pin mini DIN connectors. The selected S-video input is split, buffered, and output on two
connectors (see figure 2 on page 2):
• One S-video output on a 4-pin mini DIN connector
• One composite video output on a female BNC connector
These mini video switchers can be operated from the front panel or via a contact closure
device connected to the rear panel, such as an Extron CCR 204 Four-Button Contact
Closure Remote or an IR 102 Remote Control Kit. The MSW Series include RS-232
communication, allowing control via the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) or the
Universal Switcher Control Program software.
They also feature a front panel selectable auto switch mode that automatically switches to
the highest numbered input that has an active sync pulse present.
Features
Inputs — four female 4-pin mini DIN connectors for S-video or four female BNC
connectors for composite video
Outputs — one BNC and one 4-pin mini DIN for S-video or two BNC connectors for
composite video (both models feature two parallel outputs for simultaneous monitor and
projector viewing)
Video Mute — the video output can be muted using front panel controls
Serial control — through an RS-232 port
Video compatibility — with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats
Non-volatile memory — Retains unit settings after power loss
Firmware upgrades — available for download from the Extron Website.
Remote control — through contact closure
Ability to detect an active signal
Built-in video encoder (MSW 4SV rs model only) — for composite video output
MSW 4V rs and MSW 4SV rs • Introduction 1
Auto switching — when enabled, automatically selects the highest numbered input with
video sync present
Vertical interval switching — ensures glitch-free transitions
Compact size — 1U, quarter rack width metal enclosure
External power supply — the MSW 4V rs and MSW 4SV rs units are powered by a
12 VDC, 1.0 A power supply
