The MX2414RM is a 4-In 1-Out relay switcher designed to allow the non-simultaneous connection of up to four PC or four MAC computer video sources to a single monitor or projector. The MX2414RM is controllable using its built-in front panel, via RS-232, or through contact closures. Contact closure control requires the use of an optional adapter, part# RC5204CC.
The MX2414RM offers both 15-pin HD type connectors and 15-pin D type connectors. If used to switch VGA (VGA/SVGA/XGA) video signals, the 15-pin HD connectors should be used; if used to switch MAC type video signals, the 15-pin D connectors should be used.
The MX2414RM 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.
For the same reason, the MX2414RM 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 four displays.
The MX2414RM 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 MX2414RM units are looped together to create a larger switcher, two pins on the 9-pin control ports can be connected to make the switchers respond as a single unit. Using a similar method, multiple MX2414RM units can be made to operate in a Master-Slave mode, with all units responding to a single button selection. For additional information, see RS-232 Control and Application Diagrams.
Although very affordable as a stand-alone VGA or MAC switcher, the MX2414RM's dual connector compatibility makes it ideal for rental applications or for other types of multifunction use.
Using optional hardware, a single MX2414RM can be rack-mounted by itself or two units can be rack-mounted side-by-side. |
