SW VGA xi xi xi xi xi / MAC xi xi xi xi xi Switchers
The SW VGA xi / MAC xi are 350 MHz bandwidth switchers are housed in rack mountable, 1U high,
half width metal enclosures with internal, universal 100 - 240 VAC 50/60 Hz power supplies. They
have built-in standard contact closure remote control capability with Tally through the 25 pin Contact
Remote connector (see Contact Remote pin assignments - Figure 4-A). Optional remote controls
available for both switcher types are the KP-10 wired remote with 25 foot cable, the IR-10 Infrared
remote control with an operating range of approximately 30 feet and the RS-232 2,4,6,8 Controller.
VGA
xi switchers are available with 2, 4 or 6 inputs while the SW MAC xi is only available with 2 inputs.
If more than 2 MAC inputs are required, the SW4 VGA xi or SW6 VGA xi may be used with VGA/MAC
adapters (see connection diagram in Figure 3-A and Part Numbers on Page 5).
Auto-switching
Auto-switching is a feature of the SW VGA xi and SW MAC xi switchers that can be enabled/disabled
using a switch on the rear panel (see item E in Figure 2-A). With the AUTO/MANUAL switch in the
AUTO position, the front panel AUTO SWITCH ACTIVE LED is ON, the input selection buttons are
disabled, and the switcher automatically selects the highest number input that has sync pulses
available.
