General Description
The AMS-1000 is a passive 10 x 1 video and audio switcher intended for use in non-critical switching and
monitoring applications.
Inputs are selected by switches, which are mechanically interlocked. A white flag indicator clearly shows the
selected switch from a distance without the need for power.
Video:
All non-selected video sources are terminated in 75
Ω
. The selected video input is switched through to the
output and must be terminated at the destination.
Audio:
The audio consists of two identical circuits for each switch position. These may be designated as a pair for
balanced operation or as Left and Right channels for unbalanced stereo operation.
All audio lines are loaded with 10 K
Ω
at the input. The selected pair is connected to the output connector and the
total loading will be that of the destination in parallel with the switcher loading.
The switcher is housed in an IRT one rack unit (480 x 230 x 44 mm), 19” rack mounting chassis with video
connections via BNC connectors and audio via plug-in terminal blocks.
