DEVICE SUMMARY
3.1
Device Capabilities
The S2 series of switcher units are predominantly designed as input port expanders
for the CORIO
®
C2-1000, C2-2000 and (for some S2 units) C2-7000 series Scan
converters and scalers – although they can also be used as stand-alone signal
switchers. They are a family of compact (half-rack), high bandwidth, high
performance routing switchers designed to meet the most demanding requirements
for signal routing.
Complementary to the range is the S2-101AA stereo audio power amplifier,
providing at least 10 Watts per channel into 4 ohm speakers, from audio signal levels
provided by the rest of the range.
S2 range switchers are available to support most common types of video signal
formats including RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, YPbPr, Composite Video, S-Video (Y/C)
and DVI as well as stereo audio balanced and unbalanced. EDID and HDCP are
also supported on some models with resolutions up to UXGA.
Some units (typically those ending with ‘A’ such as the S2-105PCA) support “audio
follow video” switching. The S2-106AD stereo audio switcher also includes
adjustments for volume, balance and audio delay up to 1 second for lip-sync - all
controlled via an easy to use menu.
The S2 range is designed with ease of use and reliability in mind, utilizing intuitive
simple to use controls and interfaces, as well as rugged metal cases for robustness
in tough environments.
The switchers can be used stand alone, or when combined with the CORIO
®
series
scan converters and scalers, form a powerful toolset for high quality audio video
signal processing for virtually any application.

Device Features
Simple control
Each unit can be controlled in various ways. One option is to control using the keys
on the front of the unit. Another option would be to control the unit from an infra-red
remote control. They can also be controlled via RS-232 using the Windows
®
Control
Panel which is available for download from our Internet site
Upgradeability
All S2 units benefit from firmware upgradeability, thus reducing product
obsolescence by allowing the installation of the latest version of firmware. This only
applies to the software used to control the unit, and not its actual functionality. Some
units may be able to benefit from the addition of new features, but the majority of S2
units have a dedicated architecture. See
