FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) 9
No Question Answer
1How do I know
which input is
connected to
which output?
If you press a desired input
button, the fast flashing
LED on OUTPUT will
indicate the present
connections of this input to
all connected outputs.
2The MAX
Switcher does
not
communicate
with a PC or
Control
System.
When you experience lack
of communication, please
check the following:
1. The baud rate setting.
2. Cable connection.
3. Unit ID setting.

Switcher can
not be
Make sure that the front

and hold the STATUS key
controlled from
the front panel. to activate Control through
the front panel. If still it

by pressing and holding the
“VIDEO” button.
4Does the MAX
Series come
with rack
mounts?
Yes, two rack mount ears
should be included with the
unit. If you did not receive
them, please call us and
they will be sent to you.
5How does one
increase the
number of
inputs or
outputs on the
switcher?
To increase the number of
inputs, one can add a
second switcher and loop
outputs of the first switcher
to the inputs of the second
switcher. For example, to
create a 12x4 MAX
Switcher, route 4 outputs of
first 8x4 switcher to the
input of a second 8x4
switcher. So 8 inputs go
into switcher 1 and inputs 9-
12 go into switcher 2, while
outputs 1-4 are taken from
the second switcher. To
increase the number of
outputs, use a second
switcher and an interface
with dual outputs. For
example, to create an 8x8
MAX Switcher, use two 8x4
MAX Switchers where
inputs to both switchers
come from an output
distribution amplifier.
6May I switch
audio separate
from the
video?
Yes, the MAX Series has
full breakaway capability of
Red, Green, Blue, Sync,
and Audio through RS-232
control.
7May I control
multiple
switchers with
one RS-232
card?
Yes, the MAX Series is
designed to allow the
assignment of different ID
numbers to individual units.
This feature makes it
possible to control multiple
switchers through the same
