Quick Setup Guide
Fat Boy Series Expansion
The KD-MSW4x2Pro is available as a stand-alone base unit, or pre-wired from Key Digital
™
as
multiple Fat Boy units from the factory in an expanded configuration. For control, each unit in the
expansion is individually addressable.
Basics Facts About the KD-MSW4x2Pro
The KD-MSW4x2Pro is a 4-Input to 2-Output video and audio matrix switcher and distribution
amplifier that is available pre-wired from the factory in a variety of output expansion packages.
Each stand-alone base unit has two distinct outputs that can be used to drive two separate
displays and audio / surround sound systems. One of up to four source input devices can be
independently and separately selected to drive each of the two displays and audio systems. The
product provides professional-grade switching, with the Fade-to-Black and Video Mute features,
preventing image glitches when switching between sources. Features an audio volume control for
the left and right analog audio channels.
Typical source input devices that can be matrix switched with the KD-MSW4x2Pro include:
DVD players and changers
Cable TV, satellite, and terrestrial Set Top Boxes (STBs)
Digital Video Recorders (DVRs)
D-VHS, S-VHS and VHS VCR’s
Electronic game boxes
Personal Computers (PCs)
The KD-MSW4x2Pro handles all HD and SD resolutions, and is compatible with all standard analog
video signal formats, including:
1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i, 540p, 480p, 480i
50 Hz or 60 Hz refresh rates
The KD-MSW4x2Pro performs no video or audio processing, and supports video bandwidths up
to 300 MHz. Its output stage drives high-quality, equal-length video cables up to 300’ or more.
The output formats and resolutions are identical to those at the input to the unit.
The KD-MSW4x2Pro uses BNC connectors for video and audio inputs and outputs, and supports
both component video (YPbPr) and RGBHV video formats; as well as S-Video and composite video
(CVBS), with adapters. Along with the video, it concurrently switches and distributes PCM coax
digital audio, and analog stereo audio (for YPbPr operation only). A volume control is provided for
the analog left and right stereo audio.
