The MSC0603 matrix switcher provides six female BNC inputs and accepts composite video and
S-Video signals on all six inputs.
Genlock Input/Output
The MSC0603 provides one BNC input and one BNC output for genlock to allow switching to
occur during the vertical interval.
Audio Inputs
Analog Audio Signals
Inputs 1-6 include 5-pin captive screw terminals for analog audio input. All eight analog stereo
audio inputs are compatible with unbalanced and balanced line level signals from a VCR, DVD
player, computer audio card, or any other audio device that delivers a stereo line level signal.
Video Outputs
The MSC0603 provides three BNC outputs.
Audio Outputs
Analog Audio Signals
The analog stereo audio output provides a balanced or unbalanced line level output signal (see
page 4 for output wiring diagram). This output can drive any line level compatible audio unit, or
a local device such as powered speakers. The output level is adjustable using the volume control.
Below are instructions for installing the MSC0603 Matrix Switcher. An application diagram
showing typical connections is on page 5.
Note:
1. Place/install the MSC0603 at the desired location. Seat the unit on a flat surface or
securely install it in a standard 19" equipment rack using the MTR102 rack ears
(provided). The MSC0603 is exactly 1U high without
be located in the space directly below the matrix switcher, you must remove the rubber
feet on the bottom of the unit before mounting it in the equipment rack.
2. Connect the output display devices (monitors, data projectors, etc.) to the matrix
switcher BNC connector outputs. The MSC0603 features three BNC composite video
outputs and three S-Video BNC S-Video outputs for easy connections to display devices.
You can connect display devices with a BNC input directly to the MSC0603 BNC output
ports using standard BNC cables. INLINE’s IN8000 Series flexible BNC cables offer
exceptional performance and are available in a variety of lengths.
3. Connect the MSC0603 analog stereo audio output (5-pin captive screw terminal) to the
audio system’s line level input (mixer, amplifier, powered speakers, etc.). The output can
be set for balanced or unbalanced output signal as required by wiring the output
appropriately (see wiring diagram below). The analog audio output connector will
accept stranded or solid cables from 20 - 26 AWG.

Prior to initiating the installation procedure, ensure that there is
no power supply cord connected to the unit.
the feet. If other equipment will
4. Connect the input video sources to the matrix switcher’s BNC connector inputs.
5. Connect the audio sources to the audio inputs. All five inputs accept balanced or
unbalanced stereo audio signals. Connect the audio signals to the 5-pin captive screw
connectors.
6. If desired, connect a control system, computer, or other serial command source to the
RS-232 remote connector. Cable the control system or computer serial port to the serial
port based on the type of connection described on page 9.
7. Connect power to the Matrix switcher, display devices, and serial and audio equipment
as applicable. To connect power to the switcher, attach the power cord to the connector
on the rear of the set. A standard IEC power cord comes with the unit. Plug it into a 100
– 40 VAC, 50Hz or 60Hz power source.
