KD-MSW4x2Pro unit.  If purchased as a Fat Boy expansion, connect the appropriate 
number of outputs to all of the pre-wired units.

Input/output Ports and Formats

The output format = the format of the selected input source
Each Port supports:

YPbPr component video, analog stereo left and right audio, and digital PCM audio
RGBHV video and digital PCM audio
RGB video with sync on the green channel, analog stereo left and right audio, and digital PCM 

audio
S-Video and composite video (CVBS), with adapters

Each connector can accommodate various signals, on a shared basis:

PR/R Connector:

Pr label is for component video
R label is for the red channel for RGBHV video

Y/G Connector:

Y label is for component video
G label is for the green channel for RGBHV video

Pb/B Connector:

Pb label is for component video
B label is for the blue channel for RGBHV video

L/H Connector:

L label is for the left analog stereo audio channel
H label is for the horizontal sync for RGBHV video

For proper operation of the high quality electrical circuits in the KD-MSW4x2Pro 
unit, do noT "daisy chain" inputs:

Each input of the KD-MSW4x2Pro has its own 75

Typical Input/output Port

The KD-MSW4x2Pro base unit has four (4) Input Ports and two (2) Output Ports.  Each Input Port 

and Output Port is comprised of six (6) BNC connectors:

3 analog video connectors (YPbPr or RGB, shared as Pr/R Y/G Pb/B)
2 analog audio connectors (Left and Right stereo pairs)
The analog audio input/output connectors also serve as the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) sync 

for RGBHV signals
1 PCM digital coax audio connector

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
