VSW I AAP connection
The VSW I AAP (part #70-529-11, -21, -51) is an optional Architectural Adapter Plate
that provides remote input connection and selection for some Extron switchers.

is momentarily shorted to ground. This overrides the switcher’s current input
selection, and directs video and audio from the VSW I AAP’s connected device to
the switcher’s output ports.
FortheVSWIAAPtooperatewithaswitcher,theVSWIAAPPCBjumpermustbe
set properly, and the switcher must be configured via its RS-232 control port.
The VSW I AAP can be mounted into any Extron mounting frame with a single
space AAP opening.
