Introducing the SDS Presentation Switch/Scaler
What is the SDS Presentation Switch/Scaler?
The SDS presentation switch allows the input of 9 video inputs to be switched to 2
outputs. The Input video formats include: CVBS, (Y,Pb/Cb,Pr/Cr), VGA, HDMI and HDBaseT.
The two outputs are: HDMI and HDBaseT. Both outputs are controlled in parallel to allow the
output signal to be monitored locally whilst also being sent up to 100m along the HDBaseT
output via CAT5E/6 cable. The unit also incorporates 9 analogue 2-channel stereo audio
inputs and 1 audio balanced stereo audio amplifier output. The balanced audio output can be
used to output the output present on the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs or any of the 9
analogue inputs.
Why is the SDS Presentation Switch/Scaler necessary?
The SDS presentation switch removes a lot of the headaches that would usually be
encountered when trying to formulate a audio and video setup for a presentation
environment. The variety of input connectivity allows great flexibility for any user of the device
to connect their desired device to the unit without need for converters or specialist cables.
The analogue audio layer of the unit allows for connection to a powerful audio output, suitable
for large venues. The HDBaseT technology enables a remote input to be received from up to
100m away and the output can then be sent another 100m away to a projector or screen.
This means the unit can be located in a convenient central location whilst still having the
ability to retrieve content from and deliver it to the required locations with relatively
inexpensive and easy to install CAT5E/6 cabling.
