Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the KD-MSW4x2 by Key Digital
, a state-of-the-art analog HDTV Fat Boy
Series 4-Input to 2-Output matrix switcher and distribution amplifier.
Each of its two distinct outputs can be used to drive two separate displays (and audio / surround
sound systems), even the most exotic high-end HDTV projectors on the market. One of up to four
source input devices (like DVD players, Set Top Boxes, etc.) can be independently and separately
selected to drive each display. Switch like a pro in the Studio, with the all-new “Fade-to-Black”
and “Video Muting” features that eliminate video “glitches” on the display when switching different
inputs. If desired, the unit functions as a distribution amplifier, simultaneously routing any single
input to both outputs. Also, the product is expandable.
The KD-MSW4x2 is perfectly suited for studio, home theater, custom
installation, retail, and in fact any and all analog HD and SD applications.
With analog video bandwidths up to 300 MHz, it handles all HD and
SD resolutions (50 and 60 Hz) including 1080p/60, with no degradation
in video or audio signal quality. Since the KD-MSW4x2 performs no
video or audio processing, the video and audio signals remain pure and
untouched, and hence the quality of the output signals is the same as
the quality of the input signals.
Typical source input devices that can be matrix switched with the KD-MSW4x2 include:
DVD players
Cable TV, satellite, and terrestrial Set Top Boxes (STBs)
Digital Video Recorders (DVRs)
D-VHS, S-VHS and VHS VCR’s
Electronic game boxes
Personal Computers (PCs)
The KD-MSW4x2 uses RCA jacks for video and audio inputs and outputs, and supports both
component video (YPbPr) and RGBHV video formats. Along with the video, it concurrently switches
and distributes digital PCM, and analog stereo audio for YPbPr operation only.
The KD-MSW4x2 is simple to operate and control via front panel pushbuttons and LEDs, IR
(Infrared) remote control, IR Extender, wired IR, and is compatible via RS-232 with all control
systems.
The KD-MSW4x2 boasts a 300 MHz analog video bandwidth due in part to the following custom
and proprietary Key Digital
technologies engineered into the product to ensure the highest
standard of picture quality:
