ABOUT YOUR SWITCHER 2

The DA1916SX is a 2-in, 1-out VGA (VGA/SVGA/XGA) Auto Switcher with manual remote capability through the use of a contact closure.

The DA1916SX automatically switches to the active

The DA1916SX is perfect for applications that use wall or floor plates for auto switching. It also works very well as a building block for classroom training systems in which the instructor’s signal is placed alongside a bus (via the loop output) to each of the student’s stations. The students own computer is connected to Input 2.

The DA1916SX may be mounted to furniture or other suitable surfaces using optional hardware.

GENERAL

input source by sensing an incoming signal. If two input signals are active simultaneously, the DA1916SX will default to Input 2. Please note that the DA1916SX may be custom modified at the factory upon request so that it will default to Input 1 instead of Input 2.

The DA1916SX offers both a main output for the selected source and a loop output that always passes through Input 1, regardless of which input is selected. The main output is fully buffered and, if it is not used, it must be terminated with a 75 Ohms VGA termination plug (part # MS8000TP), which is supplied with the unit.

The DA1916SX can be controlled manually by connecting the contact closure control to its 2.5mm mini-coaxial remote control jack. The DA1916SX is packaged with a small switch and a six foot cable (part # RC5203CC), which controls the DA1916SX or the contact closure may be made from a control system. When the contact closure control is connected to the DA1916SX, an open position will select Input 1 and a closed position will select Input 2.

Although the DA1916SX is designed primarily to handle VGA-type (RGBHV) signals, it can also be used to pass RGBS and RGsB. It may also be used to pass composite video, s-video, and component video signals through red, green, and blue channels. This may require the use of adapter cables to convert a 15-pin HD connector to BNC connectors.
