The SW VGA Series are VGA switchers with two, four, six, eight, and twelve inputs. They are designed for applications where multiple high resolution computer video and HDTV component video signals must be switched to one or two displays. The SW VGA Series switchers are ideal for small to mid-sized applications where high resolution switching is needed. There are several key features common to all models in this series which benefi t integrators and end-users, alike.

All models feature input signal sensing, which automatically detects which inputs have an active signal and reports that information through the RS-232 port for confi rmation of active inputs on third party control systems. This offers quick confi rmation of active inputs on any third-party control system. Another feature common to all models is Auto-input switching, which automatically switches to the highest-numbered input with an active video signal. All switchers in this series can also be controlled via their front panel, RS-232, and contact closure remote control, and via the optional Extron IR 102 handheld remote control. All of the SW VGA models are housed in 1U, rack-mountable metal enclosures, for easy integration into new or existing A/V environments.

All SW VGA Series switchers feature active PC audio buffering, which converts unbalanced PC audio to balanced, line level signals, eliminating noise over long cable runs. The switchers accept PC audio input on 3.5mm mini stereo jacks for fast, easy connection with pre-terminated Extron VGA and Audio cables. Balanced or unbalanced audio is output on captive screw connectors.

The SW8 VGA and SW12 VGA Series feature dual buffered video and audio outputs which simultaneously output program video and audio on two parallel outputs. This eliminates the additional cost of a VGA & audio distribution amplifi er for dual-display applications.

350 MHz (-3dB) RGB video bandwidth – Offers the performance required to maintain signal integrity with the most demanding high resolution signals.
