ABOUT YOUR SWITCHER 2
The MX2214RM is a 4-in, 1-out high resolution
RGBS relay switcher designed to allow the
connection of as many as four computer video or
broadcast video sources to a single presentation
display. The MX2214RM can be controlled using its
front panel through RS-232 or through contact
closures. Contact closure control requires the use of
an optional adapter, part # RC5204CC.
The MX2214RM uses relays internally for each
channel, enabling it to pass a wide variety of low-
voltage signal types in addition to RGBS. The
MX2214RM also passes RGsB, Component Video
(Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-Video (Y/C), Composite Video,
Audio, and RS-232.
The MX2214RM can also be used bi-directionally; a
signal can be routed “backwards” through the
switcher to allow a single source to be connected to
as many as six displays.
The MX2214RM offers a 9-pin control port, which
provides a means of interconnection for RS-232 and
contact closure control, as well as other special
features. For instance, when multiple MX2214RM
units are looped together to create a larger switcher,
two pins on the 9-pin control ports can be connected
to make the switchers respond as a single unit.
Using a similar method, multiple MX2214RM units
can be made to operate in a Master-Slave mode,
with all units responding to a single button selection.
Using optional hardware, a single MX2214RM can
be rack-mounted by itself or two units can be rack-
mounted side-by-side.
