ABOUT YOUR SWITCHER 2

The MX2406RM is a 6-in 1-out relay switcher designed to allow the non-simultaneous connection of up to six computer video sources to a single monitor or projector. The MX2406RM is controllable using its built-in front panel, through RS-232, or through contact closures. Contact closure control requires the use of an optional adapter, part # RC5204CC.

The MX2406RM uses relays internally and therefore may be used to switch other signal types as well, including RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, Component Video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-Video (Y/C), Composite Video, Audio, and even RS-232, assuming the appropriate adapter cable is used.

Since the MX2406RM uses relays internally, it 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 MX2406RM 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 MX2406RM units are looped together to create a larger switcher, two pins on the 9-pin control ports can be connected to make the switcher respond as a single unit. Using a similar method, multiple MX2406RM 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 MX2406RM can be rack-mounted by itself or two units can be rack- mounted side-by-side.
