ABOUT YOUR SWITCHER 2

The MX2216RM is a 6-in 1-out high resolution RGBS relay switcher designed to allow the connection of as many as six computer video or broadcast video sources to a single presentation display. The MX2216RM can be controlled using its front panel through RS-232, or through contact closures. Contact closure control requires the use of an optional adapter, part # RC5204CC.

The MX2216RM uses relays internally for each channel, enabling it to pass a variety of low-voltage signal types in addition to RGBS. This also includes RGsB, Component Video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-Video (Y/C), Composite Video, Audio, and RS-232.

The MX2216RM can also be used bi-directionally; a signal can be routed “backwards” through the switcher to allow a single source to be connected to as many as six displays.

The MX2216RM offers a 9-pin control port which provides a means of interconnection for RS-232 and Contact Closure control, as well as other special features. For instance, when multiple MX2216RM units are looped together to create a larger switcher, two pins on the 9-pin control ports can be connected to make the switchers respond as a single unit. Using a similar method, multiple MX2216RM units can be made to operate in a Master-Slave mode, with all units responding to a single button selection.

Using optional hardware, a single MX2216RM can be rack-mounted as a single unit or two units can be rack-mounted side-by-side.
