ABOUT YOUR SWITCHER

2

The MX2226AT, a 6-in 1-out RGBHV Switcher is controllable using its built-in front panel or via RS-232 commands. The MX2226AT utilizes relays internally for each component channel, enabling it to pass a wide variety of signal types, including RGBS, RGsB, Component Video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S- Video (Y/C), Composite Video, Mono or Stereo Audio, and even RS-232.

The MX2226AT can also be used as a 1-in 6-out switcher where a signal can be routed through the switcher to allow a single source to be connected to as many as six displays.

If desired, the MX2226AT can be operated in a Sync Delay switching mode to eliminate the “glitch” typically associated with the switching of high- resolution sources. This delay is factory preset at

2.5seconds and can only be used when switching within RGBHV and RGBS format signals.

The MX2226AT offers Step Switching, which allows the user to cycle through the inputs sequentially, making the MX2226AT perfect for monitoring applications. The MX2226AT also offers a Video Off feature in which the video portion (RGB signals) of the selected signal are disconnected but sync signals are passed so that the monitor or projector does not progress into a “no display” mode.

Multiple MX2226AT units may be looped together to create a larger switcher with more than six inputs. By connecting two pins on the control port of each switcher used, the multiple switchers will act as a single switcher when controlled from the front panel.

The MX2226AT delivers an extremely high bandwidth of 400 MHz, allowing it to remain transparent to even very high-resolution signals. Its low-profile design requires only 1U of rack space. Its wide variety of features makes it perfect for rental or permanent installation applications.
