About the MSG Matrix Switchers

The Extron MSG Series Matrix Switchers are compact RGBHV and stereo audio switchers with 225 MHz video bandwidth (475 MHz on HR models). They include an 8-input by 4-output RGBHV switcher (MSG0804), with or without audio, and an 8-input by 8-output RGBHV switcher (MSG0808), with or without audio. These matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures with internal, universal switching power supplies.

The Extron MSG Series Matrix Switchers are ideal for permanent installations, rentals, complex staging operations, and any other display system requiring economical, high performance RGBHV matrix switching, with or without stereo audio.

These matrix switchers also feature RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 remote commands.
