4x1 3GSDI Switcher Configuration

On the bottom of the unit, there is a bank of four (4) DIP switches. Each DIP switch performs a different function.

1 2 3 4

DIP 1 - Termination Mode

ON - 100Ω Termination

•Adds a 100Ω termination on the RS-485 line. This DIP switch should only be used when RS-485 is enabled and if the line is to be terminated, usually on the last device in the chain.

OFF (default) - No Termination

•For normal use and when using the RS-232 protocol.

DIP 2 - RS-232 / RS-485 Protocol

ON - RS-485

•Sets the product to use the RS-485 serial protocol. DIP switch 1 should be set to the ON position. Refer to DIP switch 1 information, above.

OFF - RS-232

•Sets the product to use the RS-232 serial protocol.

DIP 3 / DIP 4 - IR Channel

•The IR channel assigned to the IR Remote Control must match the IR channel assigned to the 4x1 3GSDI Switcher. The factory setting (default) for DIP 3 and DIP 4 are in the OFF position. See page 8 for setting the IR channel on the IR Remote Control Unit.
