VSW I AAP Remote Control

Each input of an SW VGArs / Ars Series switcher can be
connected to a VSW I AAP passive interface. The VSW I AAP
features a computer video input and pass-through, an
unbalanced stereo input and pass-through, and an input select
(Show Me) button. Pressing the VSW I AAP's Show Me button
causes the switcher to select the input connected via that AAP.

Contact Closure Remote Control

The Remote connector also provides a way to select an input to
the switcher using a remote contact closure device. Contact
closure control uses pins on the Remote connector that are not
used by the RS-232 interface. The contact closure pin
assignments are shown in figure 4-1 on page 4-2.
To select a different input number using a contact closure
device, momentarily short the pin for the desired input number
to logic ground (pin 5). To force one of the inputs to be always
selected, leave the short to logic ground in place. The short
overrides front panel input selections.
