ABOUT YOUR SWITCHER 2
The
MX2226AT
, a 6-in 1-out RGBHV Switcher is
controllable using its built-in front panel or via
RS-232 commands. The
MX2226AT
utilizes relays
internally for each component channel, enabling it
to pass a wide variety of signal types, including
RGBS, RGsB, Component Video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-
Video (Y/C), Composite Video, Mono or Stereo
Audio, and even RS-232.
The
MX2226AT
can also be used as a 1-in 6-out
switcher where a signal can be routed through the
switcher to allow a single source to be connected
to as many as six displays.
If desired, the
MX2226AT
can be operated in a
Sync Delay switching mode to eliminate the “glitch”
typically associated with the switching of high-
resolution sources. This delay is factory preset at
2.5 seconds and can only be used when switching
within RGBHV and RGBS format signals.
The
MX2226AT
offers Step Switching, which
allows the user to cycle through the inputs
sequentially, making the
MX2226AT
perfect for
monitoring applications. The
MX2226AT
also offers
a Video Off feature in which the video portion (RGB
signals) of the selected signal are disconnected but
sync signals are passed so that the monitor or
projector does not progress into a “no display”
mode.
Multiple
MX2226AT
units may be looped together
to create a larger switcher with more than six
inputs. By connecting two pins on the control port
of each switcher used, the multiple switchers will
act as a single switcher when controlled from the
front panel.
The
MX2226AT
delivers an extremely high
bandwidth of 400 MHz, allowing it to remain
transparent to even very high-resolution signals. Its
low-profile design requires only 1U of rack space.
Its wide variety of features makes it perfect for
rental or permanent installation applications.
The
MX2226AT
may be rack-mounted using
hardware supplied with the unit.
