Page 6 of 21
CAUTION: For proper operation of the high quality electrical circuits in
your KD-MSW8x4 unit, do NOT “daisy chain” Inputs:
■
Each Input of the MSW8x4 has its own 75 Ohm termination
■
Do NOT feed a Source to multiple MSW8x4 Inputs without
proper Distribution equipment
Typical Application Example for a base KD-MSW8x4

Rear panel layout of the KD-MSW8x4 Matrix Switcher
CAUTION: Connecting digital audio signals directly
to the analog audio input of a TV monitor or other
display can result in severe damage to its speakers.
The color-coded rear-panel layout in FIG. 1 illustrates the eight
Inputs and four outputs of the KD-MSW8x4 HDTV Matrix
Switcher, as well as the RS-232 control interface.
Note:
The Left and Right audio interfaces also double as the
Horizontal and vertical Sync signals, respectively, for the RGB
Video interface.
High-quality Component Video (YPbPr) and “VGA” (RGBHV)
Source Equipment
Some of your source equipment may have an analog video output that is called Component
Video. Component Video is a three-wire video format, with the video signals typically labeled
YPbPr. Another common analog video output format is RGB (like the “VGA” outputs on your
computer), which typically has separate H&V sync signals. The KD-MSW8x4 HDTV Matrix
Switcher is the perfect choice for switching Component Video and RGB Video source devices
to your displays.
Example: Connecting a digital TV set-top receiver with Component Video three-wire
YPbPr or “VGA” five-wire RGBHV video Outputs to the KD-MSW8x4 HDTV Matrix
Switcher Inputs.
