The system switcher can be controlled by the front panel switches, through its
manual remote connector (using EXTRON or third-party remote control devices), or
from a Host through an RS-232 connector. To address large installations with
more than 10 inputs, the switchers can be looped for a total of up to 154 inputs
(17 switchers). Features like Video Loop Back (VLB) make this switcher
adaptable to most application requirements.
