INSTALLING YOUR MX2106AV 6
Step 1. Make sure that the correct power adapter
is used. The ALTINEX power adapter is
supplied with the unit. Connect the power
adapter to the power port. The IN 1
indicator light should be on and green.
NOTE: Input 1 is the default if there are
no signals on the inputs.
Step 2. Connect the audio/video source or
sources to the MX2106AV inputs. If there
is a properly formatted input signal on
Input 2, the switcher will switch to Input 2
automatically.
Step 3. Connect a cable from one or both of the
output ports on the MX2106AV to display
and audio devices.
Step 4. If a remote switch or RS-232 control is to
be used, connect the control cable to the
INPUT SELECT/RS-232 port. See the
next section for specific control functions.
NOTE: See the figure and table below for cabling
and communication information.
Step 5. Verify that the picture quality on the
display is good. If a signal is not being
received, make sure that the display is
compatible with the resolution of the
computer graphics card.

OPERATION 7
The MX2106AV will operate successfully as long
as cables are attached properly and other
specifications are followed. The MX2106AV
functions as shipped, but additional controls and
features are available.
7.1 OUTPUT MODES
The MX2106AV has 2 modes of operation for
controlling the output; Mode A and Mode B. The
mode switch is located on the top of the unit by the
input LEDs.
MODE A
The default mode is MODE A. In this mode, the
audio and video for whichever input is selected
will be present on both Outputs 1 and 2.
MODE B
In Mode B, Output 2 will always display what is
on Input 1. If there is no signal on Input 1, there
will be no output on Output 2. The image on
Output 1 will display whichever input is selected.
7.2 AUTO INPUT SELECT
Auto switching is active when there is no input on
the INPUT SELECT/RS-232 jack. In auto, Input 2 is
selected if there is a signal present. Input 1 will only
be selected if there is no signal on Input 2.
7.3 MANUAL INPUT SELECT
Manual switching is accomplished via a contact
closure on the INPUT SELECT/RS-232 jack. Auto
switching is disabled in manual mode and switching
can be accomplished using a control system or
hardware switch.
CLOSED = Input 1 OPEN = Input 2
