Features

Twisted pair inputs and outputs — The switchers input and output TP signals on female RJ-45 connectors.

NFor low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on the TP inputs, the MTPX Plus audio circuits are compatible only with the newer generation, mono audio models. See your MTP transmitter/ receiver and refer to the associated manual to determine which MTP models you have.

Direct video inputs and outputs — The switchers directly input and output RGBHV or RGBS (VGA) video on 15-pin HD connectors. They can also input and output RGsB, RsGsBs, component/HDTV, S-video, or composite video.

Direct audio inputs — The switchers directly input balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.

Audio input gain/attenuation — The volume of each audio signal that is input on the 5-pole, 3.5 mm direct insertion input connectors can be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources. You can set the input level of audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB) via the front panel or via serial port control.

Audio output volume — The volume of each audio signal that is output on the 5-pole, 3.5 mm direct insertion input connectors can be displayed and adjusted through a range of full output to complete silence, from the front panel or via serial port control.

Switching flexibility — The switcher provides individually buffered, independent, matrix switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway.

•Tie any input to any or all outputs.

•Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the same time.

•Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input via front panel control or via serial port remote control.

•Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding video signal. This feature allows any audio signal to be tied to one or all outputs in any combination with or without an accompanying video signal. Audio breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or via serial port remote control.
