3.	Drill 1/4" (6.4 mm) deep, 3/32" (2 mm) diameter pilot holes in the table or
	desk at the marked screw locations from the underside/inside (concealed
	side) of the furniture, where the switcher will be located.
4.	Insert the four wood screws into the pilot holes. Fasten each screw into the
	installation surface until just less than 1/4" of the screw head protrudes.
5.	Align the installed screws with the slots in the mounting brackets, and place
	the switcher against the surface, with the screws through the bracket slots.
6.	Slide the switcher slightly forward or back, then tighten all four screws to
	fasten it in place.

All connectors are on the rear panel. Depending on the model, the switcher can have up to eight high resolution video and stereo audio inputs and eight video and audio outputs.

Figure 2-2 shows a MVX 88 VGA A video and audio switcher. Other switcher models are housed in the same 1U enclosures, but have fewer input connectors and/or output connectors to accommodate the different matrix sizes that they provide.

Video and audio input connections

1 RGB video inputs — Connect the analog computer-video	1
sources to these 15-pin HD female connectors.

Most laptop or notebook computers have an external video port, but they require special commands to output the video to that connector. Also, a laptop’s screen shuts off once that port is activated. See the computer’s user’s guide for details, or contact Extron for a list of common laptop keyboard commands.

Audio inputs — Connect the unbalanced stereo audio sources		1
to these 3.5 mm mini stereo jacks for unbalanced audio input.
