Quick Start Guide — MSW 4V SDI rs, cont’d

Step 6

Power up the input and output devices, then connect power to the MSW. Turn on the mini SDI switcher by connecting the external power supply. See the appropriate chapters in this manual for further details.

Operation — Connecting an input to the output

Step 1

Determine the necessary operation mode for the MSW (the default is normal). Choose Autoswitch (C) to automatically switch to the highest numbered input with active sync pulses. Choose Normal (D) to manually change the input. For details on how to change modes, see “Mode selection” in chapter 2, “Installation and Operation”.

Step 2

•If using normal mode, choose the desired input by pressing and

releasing its input button (B). The LED (A) for the selected input lights.

To switch to a different input, press a different input button.

•If using autoswitch mode, no action is necessary. The mini SDI switcher automatically switches to the highest-numbered active input.

NOutputs A and B output an identical signal.

Step 3

If needed, you can create a remote connection via an RS-232 device (see chapter 3, “Serial Communication”).
