Introductionstallation

The Extron MSW 4V SDI is a four-input, two-parallel-output, mini SDI (serial digital interface) switcher (MSW). The MSW is a member of the Extron VersaTools™ line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers, and associated video accessories.

The MSW switches among up to four SMPTE-259M serial video SDI inputs on female BNC connectors and outputs two identical equalized and re-clocked SDI outputs on female BNC connectors. The MSW 4V SDI automatically recognizes 4fsc PAL, 4fsc NTSC, component 4:2:2, and Widescreen 4:2:2 standards.

The switcher can be operated from the front panel or via a contact closure device connected to the rear panel such as an Extron KP 6 Keypad Remote Control or an IR 102 infrared remote control kit. The MSW also features a front panel selectable autoswitching mode that automatically switches to the highest numbered input with active SDI signals.

The MSW ships with an external 12VDC power supply.

Installation

The 1U high, quarter rack width, MSW 4V SDI can be mounted on a rack shelf, mounted under a desk or tabletop, or mounted on a projector bracket.

Rack mounting

For optional rack mounting, mount the MSW on a VersaTools 19" 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-20) (figure 1) or a standard Universal 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01) (figure 2). On the standard rack shelf, the MSW mounts in one of four locations to the rear of the rack or in one of four locations to the front of the rack.

1.	If feet were previously installed on the bottom of the MSW, remove
	them.
2.	Mount the MSW on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16 screws in
	opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the MSW to the shelf.
3.	Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.

Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted to a VersaTools shelf. Most 1U rack-mountable Extron products can be mounted on the standard shelf.

Furniture or projector mounting

Furniture mount or projector mount the MSW using the optional mounting kit (Part #70-212-01, furniture, or 70-217-01, projector) as follows:

1.	Attach the mounting brackets to the MSW with the machine
	screws provided (figure 3).
