About the SW DVI Plus Series

The Extron SW DVI Plus Series are two, four, six, and eight input, one output, single-link Digital Visual Interface (DVI) switchers that select among multiple DVI-D video input signals to output to a single compatible display device. The SW DVI A Plus switchers additionally switch audio signals. All switchers accept and route computer resolutions of up to 1920x1200 or 1080p @ 60 Hz and have pixel bandwidths of up to 165 MHz.

The SW DVI Plus switchers can be controlled via the front panel, the RS-232 interface, or the optional IR 102 Remote Control. You can select inputs by pressing the front panel buttons, enabling auto-input switching, entering Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands via RS-232, or pressing buttons on the IR 102.
