Connecting the SWP123 Switcher

The SWP123 Presentation Switcher can be connected to as many as 12 input
devices simultaneously and to up to 3 outputs simultaneously. Follow the steps
below and see the installation example in figure 2-3.

If the switcher is to be mounted, see Mounting the Switcher, earlier in this
chapter.

Turn off power to the switcher and all other devices that will be connected.

Using inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the VGA, S-video, and Video (composite)
groups, attach up to 12 video input devices to the switcher.

Connect output display devices to the switcher using VGA, S-video, or
Composite Video outputs.

Connect up to 12 stereo audio sources to audio inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the
VGA, S-video, or Composite Video audio groups. See Audio input and output
later in this chapter.

If using a computer or host controller for remote control, connect the host’s
RS-232 cable to the 3.8 mm, 5-pole captive screw serial port (Serial Port A) of
the switcher. For an RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 pinout table and DIP switch
settings, see Remote Control Port (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485) in chapter 5.

Power up the input and output devices, then connect power to the
switcher.
