ABOUT YOUR SWITCHER 2
The MX2406RM is a 6-in 1-out relay switcher
designed to allow the non-simultaneous connection
of up to six computer video sources to a single
monitor or projector. The MX2406RM is
controllable using its built-in front panel, through
RS-232, or through contact closures. Contact
closure control requires the use of an optional
adapter, part # RC5204CC.
The MX2406RM uses relays internally and
therefore may be used to switch other signal types
as well, including RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB,
Component Video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-Video (Y/C),
Composite Video, Audio, and even RS-232,
assuming the appropriate adapter cable is used.
Since the MX2406RM uses relays internally, it can
also be used bi-directionally – a signal can be
routed “backwards” through the switcher to allow a
single source to be connected to as many as six
displays.
The MX2406RM offers a 9-pin control port, which
provides a means of interconnection for RS-232
and contact closure control as well as other special
features. For instance, when multiple MX2406RM
units are looped together to create a larger
switcher, two pins on the 9-pin control ports can be
connected to make the switcher respond as a
single unit. Using a similar method, multiple
MX2406RM units can be made to operate in a
Master-Slave mode, with all units responding to a
single button selection.
Using optional hardware, a single MX2406RM can
be rack-mounted by itself or two units can be rack-
mounted side-by-side.
