About the MLS 100 Series Switchers

The Extron MLS 100 Series Switchers are compact, quarter rack
width switchers. The MLS 102 VGA, MLS 103 SV, and
MLS 103 V have a 250 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth. The
MLS 102 VGA, MLS 103 SV, and MLS 103 V provide a way to
switch up to three video input signals (up to two for the VGA
model) to one output.
All models (MLS 102 VGA, MLS 103 SV, MLS 103 V, MLS 100 A)
feature four selectable audio inputs, and also one Aux/Mix
input that is always active and can be mixed with any and all of
the four selectable audio inputs.
Front panel buttons, an RS-232-based control system, or an
Extron MediaLink ™ Controller (MLC) can be used for input
selection.
