Chapter 4 • Connecting Multiple Switchers

System 4xi with SW4/6 ARMX Switchers

The picture in Figure 4-2 shows an SW6 ARMX as an example, although it would also apply to an SW4 ARMX. Connect the video output of the ARMX switcher (SW4 or SW6) to the last (4th) input of the System 4xi.

_______ Regardless of how the slave switcher input connectors are marked, they must

conform to the inputs of the System 4xi. They are: R/C, G/Y/Video, B, H/HV & V. Note that composite video uses the G/Y connector.

The System 4xi will control the ARMX switcher through the secondary RS-232 port, by way of a System 4xi Slave Adapter described on page 4-2.

_______ Jumper E2 inside the SW4/6 must be moved from “Normal” to “Slave Sys4”

position to allow it to act as a slave. (See SW4/6 documentation.)

After making all the cable connections, go to page 4-7 to configure the master/ slave as a system.
