Operation
Controls and Indicators
The SW RGBHV family of switchers have 2, 4, or 6 input buttons and LEDs on the
front panel. Audio models also have front panel configuration controls and LEDs.
All models have an Auto/Manual mode selection switch on the rear panel.
Figure 3-1 shows the front panel of an SW2 RGBHV switcher. Figure 3-2 shows the
front panel of an SW6 RGBHV A switcher. These two examples show all of the
combinations of buttons and enclosure sizes that you may encounter with your
particular switcher. Figure 3-3 shows the location of the Auto/Manual switch on
the rear panel.

In the following descriptions, you will find the following terms:
•Video-only switcher — Switches RGB video only. No audio switching.
•Analog audio switcher — Switches analog audio on captive screw
connectors as well as RGB video.
On audio switchers, two of the input buttons and LEDs have dual functions.
Double function controls on figure 3-1 and figure 3-2 have two callouts (
n
numbers), each indexed to a function in the following pages.
Input selection controls and indicators
1
Input buttons — When pressed, each input button selects the associated
input for output.
On some audio-switching models, the rightmost input buttons (Input 1 and
Input 2 on SW2 models and Input 5 and Input 6 on SW6 models) are also used
to decrease and increase the amount of audio gain for a selected input. See
“Audio controls and indicators”, items
4
and
5
.
2
Input LEDs — When lit, the input LEDs identify the selected input. If audio
is broken away (available under RS-232 control only), the selected video input
is indicated by a steadily lit input LED, and the selected audio input is
indicated by a blinking input LED.
On the SW4 RGBHV A and SW6 RGBHV A, the input LEDs also indicate the
audio level of the selected input. See “Audio controls and indicators”,
