About the MSWs

The Extron MSW 4V and MSW 4SV are four-input, two-parallel- output, mini video switchers (MSWs). The MSWs are members of the Extron VersaTools® line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers, and associated video accessories.

The MSW 4V switches among up to four NTSC, PAL, or SECAM composite video inputs on female BNC connectors and outputs two identical buffered composite video outputs on female BNC connectors (figure 1).

Figure 1 — Typical MSW 4V application

The MSW 4SV switches among four S-video (luminance [Y] and chrominance [C]) inputs on 4-pin mini DIN connectors. The selected S-video input is split, buffered, and output on 2 connectors:

One S-video output on a 4-pin mini DIN connector

One composite video output on a female BNC connector.

The switchers can be operated from the front panel or via a contact closure device connected to the rear panel, such as an Extron CCR 204 contact closure remote control or an IR 102 kit infrared remote control. The MSW also features a front panel selectable autoswitching mode that automatically switches to the highest numbered input with active sync pulses present.

The MSW ships with an external 12 VDC power supply.
