Model #: KD-MSW4x2Pro —
4 Inputs to 2 Outputs HDTV Matrix Switcher
The Fat Boy Series KD-MSW4x2Pro by Key Digital
™
‚ is an analog HDTV 4-Input to 2-Output matrix
switcher and distribution amplifier.
Matrix Switching
Supports Video and Audio
Four (4) Input Ports and two (2) Output Ports provided
Matrix switch one of up to four inputs to either of two outputs
For each of the two outputs that can be used to drive separate displays, one of the four
source inputs can be
independently
selected
Also acts as a distribution amplifier, simultaneously routing any individual input to both outputs
Using RS-232 control
Analog Audio Volume Control with Muting provided
Expandable
The KD-MSW4x2Pro Fat Boy expansions have four (4) Input Ports and expanded Output Ports:
KD-MSW4x4Pro
:
4 output ports
KD-MSW4x6Pro
:
6 output ports
KD-MSW4x8Pro
:
8 output ports
Professional Switching Features
Fade-to-Black:
allows for switching between input/output combinations without the usual
visual signal noise, glitches, and sync roll that traditionally accompany switching between video
signals
The feature momentarily forces the video image to black as the desired source input is
selected for the chosen output
This feature is applied automatically
Fade time interval is programmable via the RS-232, and is equivalent to a “Video Mute” to
force the video to black during switching
See the RS-232 Command List
Video Mute:
enables the user to mute the video signal (the display goes to black)
at the chosen output

note:
The following Technical Specifications are for a base KD-MSW4x2Pro HDTV Matrix
Switcher. The Technical Specifications for Fat Boy expansion configurations scale accordingly, with
the outputs incrementing in steps of two (2). The expansion packages are comprised of multiple
KD-MSW4x2Pro units ganged together and tested from the factory with a special cable kit.
output set up command:
IR: R1
‡
7 : RGBHV mode
R1
‡
8 : Component mode
RS-232 : CCOR : RGBHV mode
CCOC : Component mode (factory default)
note:
If this bit is not set correctly, the Video Mute function will not work and the user I
not able to see any output video.
If the KD-MSW4x8Pro is set to RGBHV mode, none of the volume control
commands ( IR / RS-232 ) will work.
Factory default command:
CCF0 : Resets memory
Inputs for every output = 1
Mute Interval = 240 ms
IR Remote Control commands:
I : Disable IR Remote Control
u : Enable IR Remote Control
Front Panel Pushbutton commands:
d : Disable front panel pushbutton controls
e : Enable front panel pushbutton controls
Switching any input to both outputs commands (Distribution Amplifier mode):
z<number(1~4)> : Switches both outputs to any one input temporarily;
can be restored to original selection
For Fat Boy expansions, ALL outputs follow the selected input
z0 : Restores the original input-output configuration
Example:
z3 : Switches both outputs to input 3
Volume Control commands:
CCV<output( 1~2 )><volume( 00~30 )> : Adjusts analog stereo L&R volume
Default : ‘15’ [unity-gain through the product]
Level ‘00’ can be used as mute
