DESCRIPTION SPECIfICaTIONS
The Extron MSW Series comprises four input, active mini switchers for
switching composite video, S-video, and SDI video signals. All three
models include two parallel outputs which simplify video system designs
by eliminating the need for a separate video distribution amplifier. The
MSW 4SV rs model, for S-video sources, features a built-in video encoder
for simultaneous output of S-video and composite video. The MSW 4V SDI
features two reclocked SDI - Serial Digital Outputs that comply with the
SMPTE 259M digital video standard.
All MSW models are equipped with front panel, contact closure, and
RS-232 serial control. In addition, the switchers can be set for input autoswitching for use in unattended system applications. They are housed
in a durable, 1U one-quarter rack width metal enclosure and include an
external, international power supply.
fEaTuRES
n Inputs – Four composite video – MSW 4V rs, S-video –
MSW 4SV rs, or serial digital component video – MSW 4V SDI rs.
n Dual Parallel Outputs – All MSW rs models feature two parallel
outputs. The MSW 4SV rs has one S-video and one composite
video output. The MSW 4V SDI rs has two reclocked SMPTE-259
serial digital video outputs.
n Autoswitching – Allows any input to be selected automatically
when the switcher detects an active source; ideal for automatic
routing and unattended operation.
n RS-232 Control – Using RS-232 serial commands, systems can be
controlled and configured via the Extron Windows®-based control
program, or integrated into third-party control systems.
n Contact closure remote control
n External international power supply - Provides worldwide power
compatibility (part # 70-055-01).
n Rack-mountable – Each model is housed in a 1U high, quarter rack
width metal enclosure.
