The SW VGA Series are VGA switchers with two,
four, six, or eight inputs. They are designed for applications where multiple
high resolution computer video or HDTV component video signals must be switched
to one or two displays. The eight input SW VGA switcher offers dual buffered
video and audio outputs, which eliminates the additional cost of a VGA and audio
distribution amplifier for dual-display applications. The SW VGA Series
switchers are ideal for small to mid-sized applications where high resolution
switching is needed.
SW VGA Series switchers feature auto-input switching, input signal sensing, and
active PC audio buffering. Auto-input switching automatically switches to the
highest-numbered input with an active video signal eliminating the need for
manual switching. Input signal sensing detects which inputs have an active input
signal and sends this input confirmation through the RS-232 port to the control
system. SW VGA switchers offer active PC audio buffering, which converts
unbalanced PC audio to balanced, line level signals, eliminating noise over long
cable runs. They accept PC audio on 3.5 mm mini stereo jacks for fast, easy
connection with pre-terminated Extron VGA and audio cables. Balanced or
unbalanced audio is outputted on captive screw connectors.
Control options for all SW VGA switchers include front panel, RS-232, and an
optional Extron IR 102 handheld remote control. Two, four, and six input
switchers in this series also feature contact closure remote control. All of the
SW VGA models are housed in 1U, rack-mountable metal enclosures for easy
integration into new or existing AV environments. |
