VersaTools® MSW 4V & 4SV, cont’d

Vertical interval switching

The MSWs switch inputs during the vertical interval of the video signal that is input on input 1. In a genlocked system, switching to any input is glitch-free if one of the genlocked devices is connected to input 1.

Rear panel connections

The MSW switches on the vertical interval of input 1. For seamless switching, ensure one of the genlocked devices is connected to input 1.

You can also daisy chain multiple MSWs via the Contact connector for front panel control of all switchers; touch the input button on one MSW to switch all MSWs. Wire pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, and so on.
