The SW VGA Series of switchers consists of five models in sizes from two to

twelve inputs. SW VGA Series switchers allow multiple high resolution computer

or HDTV component video signals to be switched to one or two displays. They

are ideal for small to mid-sized applications where high resolution switching

is needed.

All models feature input signal sensing, which automatically detects which

inputs have an active signal and reports that information through the RS-232

port for confi rmation of active inputs on third party control systems. This offers

quick confi rmation of active inputs on any third-party control system. Another

models are housed in 1U, rack-mountable

metal enclosures, for easy integration into new or existing A/V environments.

All SW VGA Series switchers feature active PC audio buffering, which converts

unbalanced PC audio to balanced, line level signals, eliminating noise over

long cable runs. The switchers accept PC audio input on 3.5mm mini stereo

jacks for fast, easy connection with pre-terminated Extron VGA and Audio

cables. Balanced or unbalanced audio is output on captive screw connectors.

The SW8 VGA and SW12 VGA Series feature dual buffered video and audio

outputs which simultaneously output program video and audio on two parallel

outputs. This eliminates the additional cost of a VGA & audio distribution

amplifi er for dual-display applications.
