  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction 1 Introduction The SW222 is a 10-bit 2x2 Serial Digital switch. Each of two serial digital inputs can be switched to either or both of two outputs. Switching can be controlled separately or together, either from the board or from remote inputs.
  • Page 4 It is very compact with 6 modules fitting in a 1U frame and 12 modules in a 2U frame and 24 in a 4U frame. The unit plugs into the front of the rack frame, and the universal connection system allows a mixture of Crystal Vision modules to be used in the 1U/2U and 4U frames.

  • Page 7: Auto Switching On Missing Input

    If piano switch 6 (AUTO) is up, outputs A and B will automatically switch away from a missing input. The status outputs (‘a’ to ‘d’, depending on control mode) will indicate the actual status of the routing. If the missing input returns, the SW222 will revert to the selected routing.
