About the SWP123 Presentation Switcher

The Extron SWP123 is a presentation switcher featuring three independent audio/video (A/V) switchers and a master audio switcher in one enclosure. They include a 4 x 1 composite video/stereo audio switcher, a 4 x 1 S-video/ stereo audio switcher, a 4 x 1 VGA/audio switcher, and a 3 x 1 Master Audio switcher. The SWP123 accepts microphone input and mixes the microphone signal with the main audio in “talk over” mode. The SWP123 also features a built-in transcoder loop function and an RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 control port.

“SWP123” and “switcher” are used interchangeably in this manual to refer to the SWP123 Presentation Switcher.

SWP123 Switcher Features

Bandwidth — Bandwidth for the VGA switcher is 450 MHz (-3dB), allowing the switcher to switch everything from NTSC video to high-resolution computer displays.

Multiple video inputs — Twelve inputs can include four composite video (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM) on BNC female connectors, four VGA (or SVGA, UXGA, RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or RsGsBs) on 15-pin HD female connectors, and four S-video (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM) on 4-pin mini DIN female connectors.

Multiple video outputs — Three outputs for simultaneous (in Separate mode), and one at a time (in Single mode) display on VGA, S-video, or composite video.

Multiple audio inputs — Twelve line level unbalanced stereo inputs can include four to the VGA group, four to the S-video group, and four to the composite video group. All audio inputs are on female RCA connectors.

Multiple audio outputs — One output for each group (VGA, S-video, and composite video), plus Master Audio. All audio outputs are balanced or unbalanced on 3.8 mm, 5-pin captive screw connectors.

Master audio switcher — A 3 x 1 stereo audio switching system allows the audio input of any video group to be selected for Master Audio output, with volume and mute control.

Individual input audio attenuation adjustments — To balance each audio input

Master-Audio-Follow-Video switching — When enabled, the Master Audio automatically follows the last input selected, regardless of group (VGA, S-video, or composite video).

This feature is disabled as a factory default. You must enable the feature using an RS-232 serial command or the ICS100 Control Software.

Decoder loop function — Converts all composite video signals to S-video using an optional external composite video to S-video decoder.
