ABOUT YOUR SWITCHER
2
The
MX2216RM
is a 6-in 1-out high resolution
RGBS relay switcher designed to allow the
connection of as many as six computer video or
broadcast video sources to a single presentation
display. The
MX2216RM
can be controlled using its
front panel through RS-232, or through contact
closures. Contact closure control requires the use of
an optional adapter, part #
RC5204CC
.
The
MX2216RM
uses relays internally for each
channel, enabling it to pass a variety of low-voltage
signal types in addition to RGBS. This also includes
RGsB, Component Video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-Video
(Y/C), Composite Video, Audio, and RS-232.
The
MX2216RM
can also be used bi-directionally; a
signal can be routed “backwards” through the
switcher to allow a single source to be connected to
as many as six displays.
The
MX2216RM
offers a 9-pin control port which
provides a means of interconnection for RS-232 and
Contact Closure control, as well as other special
features. For instance, when multiple
MX2216RM
units are looped together to create a larger switcher,
two pins on the 9-pin control ports can be connected
to make the switchers respond as a single unit.
Using a similar method, multiple
MX2216RM
units
can be made to operate in a Master-Slave mode,
with all units responding to a single button selection.
Using optional hardware, a single
MX2216RM
can
be rack-mounted as a single unit or two units can be
rack-mounted side-by-side.
