Control Connections

Decide how the KD-MSW4x2 will be controlled
If using an IR (Infrared) Extender, the wired IR, or an external Control System (via the RS-232 port

on the KD-MSW4x2), make the appropriate connections

Power

Use ONLY the external power supply provided with the KD-MSW4x2 unit. Use of any other

power supply VOIDS the Key Digital

Warranty and may

potentially damage the unit and any associated equipment.
Connect the external power supply provided with the

KD-MSW4x2 to the jack on the rear panel of the unit.
Connect the power supply to an appropriate source of power,

such as from a wall outlet.

Operation

Follow all manufacturer instructions for the safe and proper operation of the source and display

products that have been connected to the KD-MSW4x2.
Using one of the convenient control options for the KD-MSW4x2, separately select source input

1, 2, 3, or 4 for output display 1, and source input 1, 2, 3, or 4 for output display 2.
Use the IR remote control with an extensive command and control capability.

See the description for the IR remote control provided later in this Operating Manual.
It is also possible under RS-232 control to allow any one of the four inputs to be switched and

distributed to both outputs [see the RS-232 Command List].

Additional Product Features

Several new features have been added to this generation of Key Digital

switchers, called “Fade-to-

Black” and “Video Mute.” Both of these features let the user switch like a pro, like in a live studio.

Fade-to-Black

The Fade-to-Black feature allows for switching between input/output combinations without the

usual visual signal noise, glitches, and sync roll that traditionally accompany switching between

video signals. The feature momentarily forces the video image to black as the desired source input

is selected for the chosen output. This feature is applied automatically and the fade time
interval is programmable via RS-232.

Video and Audio Mute

Video and Audio Mute enables the user to mute the audio and video signal (the display goes

to black) at the chosen output, using the RS-232 [see the RS-232 Command List] or IR remote

control. Using the IR remote control for Video and Audio Muting:
Activate Video & Audio Mute:

R1 ‡ output (1~2) ‡ up arrow

Deactivate Video & Audio Mute:

R1 ‡ output (1~2) ‡ down arrow

IR Remote Sensor

Use this front-panel pushbutton to
select any of the up to four source
input devices to drive the display and
audio system wired to Output 1.
Press the button and cycle through
Input 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Repeat for Output 2 using the
appropriate Output 2 pushbutton and
LEDs for monitoring the input selection.

Input 1, 2, 3, and 4 LED indicators

Note: Since the KD-MSW4x2 Matrix Switcher does NOT perform video processing,
the output video format is the same as the input video format. This means that the
video resolution is not changed and also that form of video is input to the unit, for
example Component Video, the output will be in exactly the same format.
