Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY AV to HDMI Presentation switch. It converts various AV
input signals into a HDMI output signal with a resolution supported by the connected monitor or
projector. It automatically switches between the four different input ports to the most recently
active signal - if you do not want this you may connect only one input device. The AV to HDMI
Presentation Switch can be combined with the various LINDY HDMI Extenders to bridge longer
distances to the connected HDMI monitor or projector.
In addition, the Presentation Switch has a USB type A port to charge devices that require 5V
power, whilst an Ethernet RJ45 port allows devices to connect to a network.
The Presentation Switch is available in two versions, either with table mounting brackets for
installation on a tabletop (No. 38270) or with installation frame (No. 38271) for recessed mounting
in tables or other office and conference room equipment.

Installation
To install the Presentation Switch in a tabletop or in a conference panel please prepare a cut out
area that fits the dimension of the Presentation Switch. Please also regard the required depth
behind the front, as well as the fact that you need access to the cable connections and the
mounting brackets and screws, also after installation.
The Presentation Switch must only be connected with its power supply, with an RJ45 Ethernet
cable (maximum length should not exceed 60 m) cable to the network, and with a HDMI cable to
the monitor or projector. It supports HDMI cable lengths up to 15m, e.g. LINDY GOLD HDMI cable

User Manual English
No. 37857. For longer lengths of cable to the monitor/projector, LINDY HDMI Active cables up to
30m (e.g. No. 41055), or up to 80m the LINDY HDMI Cat.6 Extender (e.g. No. 38009), or for even
greater distances LINDY HDMI fibre optic Extender (e.g. No. 38170) may be combined with the
Presentation Switch.
On the HDMI input devices with HDMI output can be connected. For devices with mini HDMI (type
C) and micro HDMI (type D) use appropriate LINDY adapter cables.
When using MHL/HDMI or Slimport/HDMI also appropriately equipped smartphones and tablets
can be connected to the HDMI input port.
The Mini-DisplayPort input port allows to connect devices with DisplayPort signals, for equipment
with Mini-DP port use a Mini-DP cable and for devices with standard DisplayPort connector use
Mini-DP to DP cables.
On the VGA and Audio inputs VGA devices and analog audio signals can be connected, the
composite video input accepts analog CV signals. This analogue signals are automatically scaled
and digitized, and provided as combined HDMI output signal. Depending on the combination of
input and output devices, it is possible that the aspect ratio is not quite correctly scaled and that
different maximum resolutions such as 1080p, 1920 x 1200 or 1600 x 1200 be scaled and can be
slightly distorted. Try to adjust the output resolution of your signal source as optimally as possible,
ensuring frame rates do not exceed 60 Hz. Additional scaling setting options are not available.
The Presentation Switch switches automatically to the most recently activated input signal - if you
do not want this you may connect only one signal. The Switch should be already switched on
when the signal to be displayed is connected or activated - if necessary disconnect and reconnect
the input cable quickly.
