SWITCHERS
5
4.1 AUTO-SWITCH MODE
The DA1916SX automatically selects the active
source by sensing the incoming sync or video
signals. When switching a RGsB signal, the
DA1916SX will automatically sense the sync from
the green channel. When two active sources are
present, the DA1916SX selects Input 2 as the
default.
4.2 MANUAL SWITCH MODE
The DA1916SX can be controlled manually by
connecting a contact closure control switch to the
channel select port of the DA1916SX. This port
uses a 2.5mm mini-coaxial remote control jack
and is located next to Input 2. (Note: the
connector used for the channel select port is the
same as the power connector used for the unit.
Damage will not occur if the power is accidentally
connected to the channel select port.
APPLICATION DIAGRAM 5
Altinex offers a remote control switch with a 12
foot cable (Part # RC5203CC) which will control
the DA1916SX. The DA1916SX can also be
controlled using AV control systems.
When a remote control switch is connected to the
channel select port, Input 1 will be selected if the
channel select contact is open. Input 2 will be
selected if the channel select contact is closed.
The switching will be identical whether there is
one or two active signals. The LED lights located
next to the inputs will indicate which input is
selected.
The DA1916SX’s main output is fully buffered and
capable of driving a signal over 200 feet of high,
quality coaxial cable. Loop 1 output is not buffered
and must be terminated with a VGA termination
plug (Part # MS8000TP) if a local display is not
used.
