ABOUT YOUR MX2436RM

2

The 

MX2436RM

 is Video and Audio Switcher

designed to handle the switching requirements of
several multimedia applications.

The 

MX2436RM

 offers six BNC inputs with ground

loop isolation, which promote individual equalization
of video gain according to different cable lengths.
Each of the BNC inputs can be connected to a
single BNC output.  The 

MX2436RM 

also provides

six stereo or balanced audio inputs, which can be
connected to a single stereo or balanced audio
output.

The 

MX2436RM

 allows the non-simultaneous

connection of six video sources to a monitor or
projector and six audio sources to any audio system.
In addition, the 

MX2436RM

 is controllable using its

built-in front panel or through RS-232.

Using optional hardware, the 

MX2436RM

 can be

rack mounted alone as a single unit or two units can
be rack-mounted side by side.
