The MX2416RM is a 6-in 1-out relay switcher designed to allow the non-simultaneous connection of up to six PC or six MAC computer video sources to a single monitor or projector. The MX2416RM is controllable using its built-in front panel, through RS-232, or through contact closures. Contact closure control requires the use of an optional adapter, part # RC5204CC.

The MX2416RM offers both 15-pin HD type connectors and 15-pin D type connectors. If used to switch VGA (VGA/SVGA/XGA) video signals, the 15-pin HD connectors should be used; if used to switch MAC type video signals, the 15-pin D connectors should be used.

The MX2416RM uses relays internally and therefore may be used to switch other signal types as well, including RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, Component Video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-Video (Y/C), Composite Video, Audio, and even RS-232, assuming the appropriate adapter cable is used.

Since the MX2416RM uses relays internally, it can also be used bi-directionally – a signal can be routed “backwards” through theswitcher to allow a single source to be connected to as many as six displays.

The MX2416RM offers a 9-pin control port, which provides a means of interconnection for RS-232 and contact closure control as well as other special

features. For instance, when multiple MX2416RM units are looped together to create a larger switcher, two pins on the 9-pin control ports can be connected to make the switcher respond as a single unit. Using a similar method, multiple MX2416RM units can be made to operate in a Master-Slave mode, with all units responding to a single button selection.

Although very affordable as a stand-alone VGA or MAC Switcher, the MX2416RM’s dual connector compatibility makes it ideal for rental applications or for other types of multifunction use.

Using optional hardware, a single MX2416RM can be rack-mounted by itself or two units can be rack- mounted side-by-side.
