    Installation, cont’d Balanced or unbalanced audio input connections (SW2 RGBHV A, SW4 RGBHV A, and SW6 RGBHV A only) — Each input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio input. Connectors are included with each SW RGBHV Series switcher, but you must supply the audio cable.
  • Page 21: Remote Connection

    Remote connection Remote connector — Connect a host device, such as a computer or touch panel control, or a remote contact closure device to the switcher via this 9-pin D connector (figure 2-10) for remote control of the switcher. See chapter 4, “Remote Control”, for definitions of the SIS commands, details on how to install and use the control software, and information on how to construct a remote contact closure device.

    Release the button. indicate 0 dB. On the SW4 RGBHV A and SW6 RGBHV A only, the input 1 through 4 LEDs display the approximate audio level for the selected input. Each input LED indicates a range of 6 dB when lit (Input 1 LED off = 0 dB to 5 dB, Input 1 LED lit = 6 dB to 11 dB, Input 2 LED lit = 12 dB to 17 dB, and so on).
  • Page 28 Operation, cont’d If the +dB and –dB LED are both lit they indicate 0 dB. Otherwise, you can determine the exact gain or attenuation using the following procedure. If one or more input LEDs are lit AND the +dB LED is/are lit, press and release the button repeatedly until the highest-numbered lit input LED goes out.
  • Page 29: Audio Level Reset - Single Input

    As necessary, adjust the audio level of each input (see “Audio gain and attenuation (SW2 RGBHV A, SW4 RGBHV A, and SW6 RGBHV A only)”, earlier in this chapter) so that the approximate output level is the same for all selected inputs.
