Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the KD-MSW4x2Pro by Key Digital
™
, a state-of-the-art analog HDTV Fat
Boy Series 4-Input to 2-Output matrix switcher and distribution amplifier.
A base KD-MSW4x2Pro unit has 4 inputs to 2 outputs. Each of its two distinct outputs can be
used to drive two separate displays (and audio / surround sound systems), even the most exotic
high-end HDTV projectors on the market. One of up to four source input devices (like DVD players,
Set Top Boxes, etc.) can be independently and separately selected to drive each display. Switch
like a pro in the Studio, with the all-new “Fade-to-Black” and “Video Muting” features that eliminate
video “glitches” on the display when switching different inputs. If desired, the unit functions as a
distribution amplifier, simultaneously routing any single input to both outputs.
The KD-MSW4x2Pro is available pre-wired from the factory in output expansion configurations that
increment in steps of two (at the output).
The KD-MSW4x2Pro is perfectly suited for studio, home theater, custom
installation, retail, and in fact any and all analog HD and SD applications.
With analog video bandwidths up to 300 MHz, it handles all HD and
SD resolutions (50 and 60 Hz) including 1080p/60, with no degradation
in video or audio signal quality. Since the KD-MSW4x2Pro performs no
video or audio processing, the video and audio signals remain pure and
untouched, and hence the quality of the output signals is the same as
the quality of the input signals.
Typical source input devices that can be matrix switched with the KD-MSW4x2Pro include:
DVD players
Cable TV, satellite, and terrestrial Set Top Boxes (STBs)
Digital Video Recorders (DVRs)
D-VHS, S-VHS and VHS VCR’s
Electronic game boxes
Personal Computers (PCs)

The KD-MSW4x2Pro uses BNC connectors for video and audio inputs and outputs, and supports
both component video (YPbPr) and RGBHV video formats. Along with the video, it concurrently
switches and distributes digital PCM, and analog stereo audio for YPbPr operation only.
The KD-MSW4x2Pro is simple to operate and control via front panel pushbuttons and LEDs,
IR (Infrared) remote control, IR Extender, wired IR, and is compatible via RS-232 with all control
systems.
The KD-MSW4x2Pro boasts a 300 MHz analog video bandwidth due in part to the following
custom and proprietary Key Digital

technologies engineered into the product to ensure the
highest standard of picture quality:
