Video connections
N The switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the
switcher is in the same format as the input.
N The MVX Plus 128 switchers can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs,
component video, S-video, or composite video by using the appropriate adapters.
a
RGB video inputs — Connect the analog computer-video sources to these
15-pin HD female connectors.
N Most laptop or notebook computers have an external video port, but they require
special commands to output the video to that connector. Also, a laptop’s screen
shuts off once that port is activated. See the computer’s user’s guide for details,
or contact Extron for a list of common laptop keyboard commands.

RGB video outputs — Connect RGBHV video displays to these 15-pin HD
female connectors for each output.
