Introduction to System 8/10 P

Features

Description of Features

Outputs — Because switching is direct, the output will always have the same

format as the selected input. Separate output connectors are provided for RGBS,
Composite Video, S-Video, and Audio.

Video Loop Back (VLB) — This feature allows the switcher to integrate with either

RGB decoders or scan doublers. With VLB, a Composite or S-Video output is
routed from the switcher output through a decoder or scan doubler and then
back into System 8/10 P

LUS

switcher. This means that one decoder or scan

doubler can be used for all the video inputs instead of needing one unit for each
video source.

Triple-Action Switching™ (RGB delay) — This prevents image scrambling during

switching time. When an input is selected, Triple-Action Switching® will:

1. Drop the RGB signals.
2. Wait 150 ms and then switch to the new sync signal.
3. Wait for the time delay set by the user (0.0 - 7.5 seconds) and then switch to

the new RGB signals. (During this time the projector is setting up to match the
new sync.)

300 MHz Bandwidth — The wide bandwidth allows signals to be passed without

loss of resolution. This is extremely important when using high resolution
computer workstations.

Switcher Control — Each channel of the switcher can be controlled in any one of

the following ways:

Front Panel Buttons. Lighted push buttons can be labeled for each input source.

Remote Control Connector. Contact closure remote control connector

for hard-wired remote control with Tally indication.

RS-232 Control Connector. Provides for computer control of switcher

or use of third-party remote control system.

Projector Infrared Remote. Projector IR remote can control the switcher via

the projector. For some projectors, you may use the projector's remote to
control Extron system switchers. Note: not all projector’s have this capability.

IR-30 Infrared Remote Control. The IR-30 upgrade will allow you control the

System 8/10 P

LUS

through the switcher’s IR receiver.

Display Power Switch — The Display Power switch controls projector power. This

is essential for ceiling-mounted projectors.

Video Mute Switch — This switch blanks the video picture without turning off the

projector power.

Balanced or Unbalanced Audio — All audio inputs and outputs use 5 mm Phoenix

brand six-terminal connectors. This allows for connection of balanced or
unbalanced line audio.

Audio Breakaway (RS-232 control only) — Audio and video may be selected from

separate input channels.

Easy System Expansion — Up to 17 switchers can be looped (daisy chained)

together to provide up to 154 inputs when using a combination of System 8 or
System 10 switchers.

Power — The System 8/10 P

LUS

switchers have an internal, auto-switching (90 -

260 VAC) power supply. The System 8/10 P

LUS

switchers are UL approved.

Rear Panel LED Indicators — Rear panel LEDs indicate which input has been

selected and which outputs are active.

Rack Mount — The 3U x 19" System 8/10 P

LUS

enclosure is ready for rack

mounting.
