Installation, cont’d capability. This allows the inputs to be used as outputs. See “Features” on page 1-8. Output connectors — BNC female output connectors See page 2-7 for information about cabling the connectors. Mode switch (SW ARxi and SW AR HVxi only) — Toggles between auto-switch mode and manual mode.
Installation, cont’d Installing the Switcher Installation overview To install a switcher, perform the following general steps: If desired, mount the switcher in a rack (see “Mounting the switcher” below). Turn off power to the input and output devices, and unplug the power cords from them. Attach the input and output devices to the switcher Figure 16 —...
Installation, cont’d 3. Secure the switcher to the rack panel by reinstalling the 2. Use BNC connectors to connect the switcher to the four corner screws and beveled (dress) washers output device. through the panel. To avoid shifting, ensure that the switcher is placed firmly against the panel.
Installation, cont’d Input cabling for auto-switching (Y) cable to the Y input, and connect the chrominance (C) input cable to either the R-Y or the B-Y input. This section applies to SW ARxi, SW AR HVxi, SW AR MX, and SW AR MX HV switchers only. If auto-switching for composite or S-video is It does not apply to the SW 6 Component switcher.
Installation, cont’d With the switchers connected as shown on page 2-12, input Output selection occurs as shown below. For SW AR xi and SW AR HV xi switchers, Loop Out is on pin 24 of the 25-pin connector, and Loop In is on pin 12.
Installation, cont’d (Loop In). Connect switcher B’s contact remote To connect the switcher to the KP-10 wired remote keypad, connector pin 24 (Loop Out) to switcher A’s contact attach the keypad’s cable to the contact/manual remote remote connector pin 12 (Loop In). 25-pin connector on the switcher.
Installation, cont’d 5. Power the switcher on. Signal Signal Input 1 Input 2 To operate the IR-101, press the key for the desired input Input 3 Input 4 while aiming the hand-held unit at the IR detector. The Input 5 Input 6 approximate operating range is 30 feet.
Installation, cont’d Troubleshooting SW Switchers The sections below shows some common operating problems and their solutions. All models Problem — Pressing an input selection button does not change the input. Solution — Verify the operating mode. The input selection buttons do not change the input if the switcher is in auto-switch mode or (for SW AR MX, SW AR MX HV, and SW 6 Component switchers only) auto-sequence...
