Question
What is a
Switcher?
When do I use the
DA1914SX?
What kind of signal formats may
Ipass through the DA1914SX? Is the output of the
DA1914SX
buffered? Why do I need the Sync Source switch?
How far can I run a signal through the DA1914SX?
Answer
A Switcher is a device that allows you to connect multiple video sources to a single display and select between the sources.
If you have two computers and you want to display them on a single monitor, you would use the DA1914SX between the computers and the monitor, using cables to interconnect the pieces. The switcher would then allow you to select which computer would be displayed on the monitor at any given time.
The DA1914SX can pass RGBS, RGsB, Component Video (Y,
Yes, the DA1914SX offers a fully buffered output.
The DA1914SX offers a Sync Source switch, enabling it to
The output of the DA1914SX allows signals to be driven through 100 feet of cable depending on the cable quality and the source signal resolution without degradation of the image quality.
We have carefully tested and have found no problems in the supplied DA1914SX unit; however, we would like to offer the following suggestions:
∙Please make sure that you have the correct setting Sync Source Switch. If you pass RGBS, the signal format switch must be in the SYNC position. If you pass RGsB or Composite Video signal formats, the switch must be in the GREEN position.
∙Make sure that the correct power adapter is connected to the unit.
∙Please make sure that the input amplitude of the analog signal is less than 1.5V.
∙Please use the Altinex supplied external adapter (9V, 500mA).
∙Please make sure that the proper quality of cables is used. We recommend Altinex made cables for the best results.
∙If a problem arises after continuous usage at higher voltage, higher temperature, higher humidity, or at other extreme environmental conditions, please correct the problem.
