Extron Switcher enable multiple video and audio signals to be selected and sent to one or more display devices. For example, to view two computers with separate presentations, a switcher would be used to physically connect both of the inputs to the display device. The switcher would then be used to select or "switch" between the two computer presentations, allowing the user to alternate back and forth.

Here are some questions to think about when trying to choose the best interface for your specific application:

1. What are the signal types (e.g., computer, composite video, RGB, stereo audio)?

2. What are the connector types (e.g., BNC, S-video, 15-pin HD)?

3. How many inputs and outputs are needed?

4. Will there be switching between both video and audio sources? 

Switchers can be used in a wide range of applications where multiple video and/or audio sources are being displayed by one or more devices: in lecture halls, conference rooms, home theaters, etc.

Here's an example of an application using a switcher. Two laptop computers are connected to the Extron switcher, a two input switcher and distribution amplifier. The video and audio signals from the computer are then output to two video display devices — a monitor and an LCD projector — and one stereo audio device. Users can now route the video from each computer for display on either the projector or the monitor.

Various Types Available:

Audio/Video Switchers: There are Extron A/V switchers for composite video, S-video, component, SDI, and/or stereo audio with several inputs to choose from. With the ability to accept NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats, these switchers provide worldwide compatibility.

Computer & RGB Switchers: Extron VGA and RGB switchers are designed for routing computer-video signals. They are available in dedicated models that feature VGA (15-pin HD) or BNC input and output connectors.

MediaLink: Extron MediaLink Switchers enable system expansion when more inputs are required than what the projector can handle. MediaLink Switchers are designed to be used in conjunction with the a MediaLink Controller to facilitate low-cost integration. They can also be used as stand-alone switchers.

Media Presentation Switchers: Extron media presentation switchers merge independent VGA with stereo audio switchers, S-video with stereo audio switchers, and composite video with stereo audio switchers into a single enclosure.

Seamless Switchers: Extron Seamless Switchers provide high performance scaling of standard definition video, HDTV, and computer-video sources to high resolution output rates, including HDTV. They also offer true seamless switching between inputs with selectable transition effects for professional quality presentations.

System Switchers: Extron system switchers are compatible with all types of digitally controlled projectors and accept virtually all source signals. With system switchers, it's easy to switch between computers, A/V components, and audio sources. System switchers communicate with and are recognized by the projector as if the switcher were the same brand as the projector.

Switcher Accessories: Extron Switcher Accessories comprise a variety of control options, including IR handheld remote control devices and mountable control panels. Additional accessory products available include mounting hardware, control kits, cables, and labels.
