About the Switchers
The Extron SW RGBHV series (figure 1-1) is a family of six RGB video switchers,
some with audio, in an array of input and output configurations. The models
available are:
•SW2 RGBHV (two RGB video inputs)
•SW2 RGBHV A (two RGB inputs and two balanced or unbalanced stereo or
mono audio inputs)
•SW4 RGBHV (four RGB video inputs)
•SW4 RGBHV A (four RGB inputs and four balanced or unbalanced stereo or
mono audio inputs)
•SW6 RGBHV (six RGB video inputs)
•SW6 RGBHV A (six RGB inputs and six balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono

The switchers can switch wideband video (RGBHV, RGBs, RGsB, and RsGsBs),
component video, S-video, and composite video.

Figure 1-1 — Typical SW6 RGBHV A application
The switchers input video on female BNC connectors. Audio models input
unbalanced or balanced stereo or mono audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors.
The 2-input models have 1U half-rack width enclosures. The remaining switchers
have 1U full-rack width enclosures. All models can be mounted in a standard 19"
rack; the 2-input models require an Extron 1U universal rack shelf.
