Introduction, cont’d Auto models Audio/Video Switchers Auto-sync detect — Auto or AS models continuously monitor all inputs and automatically switch to the highest- numbered input with video sync pulses present. If video is absent from all inputs, no input is selected. The auto version can operate in either normal (manual switch) or auto-switch mode.
Turn off all of the equipment that will be connected to the SW6 SV A MX switcher. Figure 2-3 shows the rear panel of the switcher. SW6 AV MX switcher. These two models have all the connectors available on the A/V switchers. Mount the switcher. See Mounting the switcher in this chapter.
