About this Manual
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 reclocked 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 MSW 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 (Extron part #60-797-02) or an
IR 102 Remote Control Kit (part #70-224-01). It includes RS-232
communication, allowing control via Extron’s Simple Instruction
Set (SISTM) or the Universal Switcher Control Program software.
This mini SDI switcher also features a front panel selectable
autoswitch mode that automatically switches to the highest
numbered input with active sync pulses present.
The unit ships with an external 12 VDC power supply.
