NThe MVX switchers can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, or component/HDTV video.
NThe MVX switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.

CThe length of the exposed (stripped) portion of the copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16” (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter bare wires are not as secure in the direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.
NFigure 2-4 shows two methods of wiring the connectors for output. A mono audio connector consists of the tip and sleeve. A stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring, and sleeve. If you are wiring a captive screw connector from an existing unbalanced audio cable, the white insulated wire is typically the left channel (tip) and the red insulated wire is typically the right channel (sleeve). There is no reliable standard for existing balanced audio cables.
The audio level for each input can be individually set, via the front panel or
By default, the audio follows the video switch. Audio breakaway, which is commanded via the front panel, via
