Introduction

The Extron YCS SW6 MX is a video decoder/encoder/switcher
with both composite and S-video outputs. It separates input
composite video signals into their YC (luminance and
chrominance) components (S-video), or it combines input
S-video YC signals into composite video format. Both formats
are available for output regardless of the selected input type.
Six switchable inputs are available. Inputs 1 – 4 use either BNC
or mini-DIN connectors for either composite video or S-video.
Inputs 5 and 6 use BNC connectors for composite video.
Switching occurs during the vertical blanking interval of the
video signal.
