Install Multiple Video Switchers in a Control4 
System

When installing multiple Sony video switchers in a Control4 system, follow 
these guidelines: 

Set up multiple video switchers as supported for the Control4 controller. 
Media Controller supports four video switchers.  HC-300 supports up to 2 
video switchers. Home Theater Controller supports one video switcher and 
therefore does not support the use of the multiple video switchers. 

Use the provided serial ports, cable, and "Installation" instructions to con-
nect the Sony video switcher directly to the HC-300 or  Media Controller 
serial ports. The Media Controller has a total of four serial ports, including 
two DB9 connector ports and two pluggable terminal block ports.  The HC-
300 has a total of two serial ports, both with DB9 connectors.

The Sony video switchers must be connected directly to the Control4 con-
troller. No daisy chain connections are supported.
