Features and Options
Features
250 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth
Five video inputs
2 RGBHV/RGBS/RGsB computer video inputs — A VGA 15-pin HD front
panel connector (PC 1) allows direct connection of a laptop computer, and
one set of five BNC rear panel connectors (PC 2) accepts inputs via an
interface.
1 RGBHV/RGBS/RGsB computer video or S-video or composite video
input — A set of five BNC rear panel connectors (Input 3) accepts RGB input
via an interface, or it can be configured to accept either S-video or composite
video input instead of RGB input.
2 S-video or composite video inputs — Inputs Vid 1 and Vid 2 each have
two rear-panel BNC connectors.
One video output — A total of eight rear-panel BNC connectors provide
connections for RGB, S-video, or composite video (NTSC/PAL) output. Only
one output (RGB or S-video or composite video) is active at any one time,
even if all three sets of BNCs are connected to the projector.
Five balanced/unbalanced stereo audio inputs — One front panel mini stereo jack
and four rear panel captive screw ports accept audio inputs. Each input’s
levels can be individually preset, then adjusted by the master volume control.
Two stereo audio outputs
Line level (line out) output (balanced or unbalanced) via a captive screw
terminal can be treated as a pre-amp. The output can be adjusted using the
master volume control, or it can be set via RS-232 control to provide a fixed
output level.
Amplified output (unbalanced) of 24 watts (12 watts per channel with a
4 ohm load) or 12 watts ( 6 watts per channel with an 8 ohm load) is available
for non-powered speakers via spring-loaded captive terminals. The master
volume control adjusts the output level.
Audio breakaway — Audio and video can be switched separately via RS-232
control by using the Windows-based control program.
Three control methods — A computer or other RS-232 control device, the IR 401
remote control, or an SCP remote keypad can all be used to control the
switcher.
RS-232 programming — The System 5 can be programmed using an RS-232
control device and SIS or Extron’s control software for Windows.
Room control — The System 5 provides a relay for controlling a variety of items
such as lighting, window coverings, or display screens.
Projector control — The System 5 can control the projector’s display power, video
mute, and mode functions.
IR command learning — The switcher can learn new IR commands from signals
received through the front panel or downloaded from Extron’s command
library. Learned commands are output through the IR Emitter or IR
Broadcaster.
IR Emitter — The included IR Emitter transmits learned commands and incoming
infrared control signals to devices nearby.
Memory — All IR commands are stored in memory.
