4.1 INPUTS/OUTPUTS
All inputs and outputs of the MX2426CV use 15
pin HD female connectors. This allows easy
installation of the system
with PC computers and
VGA type monitors.
4.2 COMPUTER INPUTS
The MX2426CV offers two computer inputs with
buffered local monitor outputs. One input is for
the Plaintiff/Prosecution team and the other is for
the Defendant’s team. The trial presentation
system of either party can be connected to the
MX2426CV and either one can be selected for
presentation on the system.
4.3 DISPLAY OUTPUTS
The MX2426CV Switcher offers six outputs that
distribute signals to the judge, attorneys for each
side, the witness, the jury and the media. All
outputs are amplified and can drive a signal
through up to 100 feet of coaxial cable with
minimal signal degradation. It is important to
recognize that the type of coaxial cabling used
may increase or decrease this distance. Altinex
offers various lengths of high performance VGA
type cables with various gender connectors. Use
of these cables will insure a high quality image.
4.6 JUDGE OVERRIDE (BLACKOUT) BUTTON
In a courtroom environment, it is often critical to
prevent an inadvertent display of the video
information to the participants of the trial. A show
of evidence to the jury against specific ruling of
the court may, in some cases, result in a mistrial.
To address this situation Altinex offers a Judge
Override (Blackout Button) as an optional
accessory. This device is designed to allow a
judge to instantly turn OFF all video signals being
displayed.
4.7 MONITOR STATUS DISPLAY
During a trial, it is important for various
participants to have an instant knowledge of
which displays are ON. To address this need,
Altinex offers Output Status Display as an
optional accessory to the MX2426CV. The
Output Status Display is connected to the status
output port of the MX2426CV and has ON/OFF
indicator lights for each of the outputs of the
switcher. The status port can support up to 6
Output Status Displays interconnected in a daisy-
chain fashion. The Output Status Display
requires an external power adapter.
4.8 POWER
The MX2426CV has an internal power supply
capable of accepting either 110V or 220V
through a selection switch. This makes the
product compatible with any power standard in
the world. Power cords for England, Germany,
and Australia are optionally available with the
product.
