This sheet provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer
to set up and operate the SW8/12 VGA Ars switcher.
Installation
Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power
sources and mount the switcher as required.
Step 2 — Video and audio inputs
• Connect up to 8 (SW8) or 12 (SW12) video input cables.
• Connect up to 8 (SW8) or 12 (SW12) audio input cables.
N
If using one or more
VSW I AAPs (with “Show
Me” buttons), connect
the video and audio
input devices through the
VSW I AAPs and configure the AAP unit and the switcher in accordance with step 3.
Step 3 — VSW I AAP configuration (optional)
• On the VSW I AAP,
remove
jumper J5 and
install
jumper J6.
• Configure the switcher to work
with the AAP unit by issuing the
EX!
*1VSWE
}
SIS command,
where
X!
is the input number.
Step 4 — Video and audio
outputs
• Connect one or two video
output devices.
• Connect audio devices
to the switcher’s Fixed
audio output port and/or
Variable audio output port. Wire the audio output connectors
as shown below.
C
Connect the sleeves to ground (Gnd). Connecting the
sleeve to a negative (-) terminal will damage the audio
output circuits.
Step 5 — Remote connector (optional)
Connect a serial cable from a control device to the RS-232
control port. The port’s communications protocols are
• 9800 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit, no parity
• no flow control.
Step 6 — Power
Plug a standard IEC power cord between the power connector and a 100 VAC to 240 VAC,
50 or 60 Hz power source. Power on the display device and then the audio and video
sources.
