SWITCHERS

4.1 AUTO-SWITCH MODE

The DA1916SX automatically selects the active source by sensing the incoming sync or video signals. When switching a RGsB signal, the DA1916SX will automatically sense the sync from the green channel. When two active sources are present, the DA1916SX selects Input 2 as the default.

4.2 MANUAL SWITCH MODE

The DA1916SX can be controlled manually by connecting a contact closure control switch to the channel select port of the DA1916SX. This port uses a 2.5mm mini-coaxial remote control jack and is located next to Input 2. (Note: the connector used for the channel select port is the same as the power connector used for the unit. Damage will not occur if the power is accidentally connected to the channel select port.

APPLICATION DIAGRAM 5

Altinex offers a remote control switch with a 12 foot cable (Part # RC5203CC) which will control the DA1916SX. The DA1916SX can also be controlled using AV control systems.

When a remote control switch is connected to the channel select port, Input 1 will be selected if the channel select contact is open. Input 2 will be selected if the channel select contact is closed.

The switching will be identical whether there is one or two active signals. The LED lights located next to the inputs will indicate which input is selected.

The DA1916SX’s main output is fully buffered and capable of driving a signal over 200 feet of high, quality coaxial cable. Loop 1 output is not buffered and must be terminated with a VGA termination plug (Part # MS8000TP) if a local display is not used.
