The KD-MSW8x4Pro by Key Digital

®

is a part of Fat Boy family of switchers. With 8 Inputs and 4 Outputs, the full matrix

non-blocking switcher and distribution amplifier allows each one of the 4 outputs to be seamlessly connected to any
one of the 8 available inputs. The KD-MSW8x4Pro offers the factory installed expansion capability to up to 44 outputs
and professional Fade-to-Black and Audio/Video Muting features. It directly supports component (YPbPr) and RGBHV
video formats, as well as S-Video and Composite video formats (with appropriate cable adapters). Concurrently with
the video, it switches and distributes both PCM coaxial digital audio and analog stereo audio (analog stereo audio is
not available when RGBHV configuration is used). The KD-MSW8x4Pro features volume control functionality for ana-
log stereo audio L/R channels. With analog video bandwidth of up to 300 MHz, the KD-MSW8x4Pro handles all stan-
dard HD and SD video resolutions (at 50 and 60 Hz) including 1080p/60, with no degradation in video quality.
The KD-MSW8x4Pro is simple to operate and control via front panel puttons. The LEDs offer selection monitoring.
The switcher is offered with IR remote control, wired IR and RS-232 control port compatible with all industry standard
control systems.
