Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 4- and 8-Port VGA Switches enable users to quickly and easily share a single
VGA display with several sources from your device inputs to one output device
(monitor, projector, or TV). You can select the desired input source via the remote
control within the range of 15 feet (5 m) or by using a push button on the switch.
Because you don’t need to plug and unplug video sources, it’s more convenient,
more affordable, and more efficient to use your A/V equipment.
The built-in serial interface on the AVSW-VGA4X1A and AVSW-VGA8X1A also
enables users to control the unit via an RS-232/serial device.
