The MSV0804 matrix switcher provides eight female 15-Pin HD (VGA) inputs and accepts VGA
computer video signals on all eight inputs.
Audio Inputs
Analog Audio Signals
Inputs 1-8 include a 5-pin captive screw terminal 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 MSV0804 provides four female 15-Pin HD (VGA) 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.
Comparison with MSV0502
The MSV0804 and MSV0502 matrix switchers are virtually identical. Besides the number of
inputs/outputs, the only other difference between the two units is that the MSV0804 is 2U and the
MSV0502 is 1U in height.
Below are instructions for installing the MSV0804 Matrix Switcher. An application diagram showing
typical connections is on page 4.
Note:
1. Place/install the MSV0804 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
MSV0804 is exactly 2U high without
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 VGA
connector outputs. The MSV0804 features four 15-Pin HD video outputs for easy connections
to display devices. You can connect display devices with a 15-Pin HD input directly to the
MSV0804 15-Pin HD output ports using standard VGA cables. INLINE’s IN8000 Series
flexible VGA cables offer exceptional performance and are available in a variety of lengths.
3. Connect the MSV0804 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.
For Unbalanced Stereo Audio Output: For Balanced Stereo Audio Output:
Prior to initiating the installation procedure, ensure that there is no
power supply cord connected to the unit
the feet. If other equipment will be located in the space
4. Connect the input video sources to the matrix switcher’s VGA connector inputs.
5. Connect the audio sources to the audio inputs. All eight inputs accept balanced or unbalanced
stereo audio signals. Connect the audio signals to the 5-pin captive screw connectors according
to the wiring diagram on page 9.
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.
