The IN3808 Presentation Switcher combines the easy operation and serial control capabilities of a projector switcher with the flexibility of a matrix switcher. Featuring RGBHV + stereo audio matrix switching, 350 MHz bandwidth and two switching modes, the IN3808 is ideal for permanent installations, rentals, complex staging operations and any other display system requiring a high performance, economical matrix switcher.

Direct Switching Mode - In Direct Mode, the IN3808 acts as a projector switcher, routing composite, S-Video and RGB signals to the appropriate outputs. The user simply presses one of the 8 large input buttons and that input signal is automatically routed to the pre-programmed output(s). The IN3808 can also store and transmit commands to a data display device which tell the display to switch inputs and/or recall a convergence memory.

Matrix Switching Mode - For advanced applications requiring multiple outputs, the IN3808 can operate as a true 8 x 4 matrix switcher. In Matrix Mode, users press an output button followed by an input button and a new patch is immediately executed. The unit features large switching buttons and ample space for installers to affix custom labels specifying input sources and output devices.

Dual Output Connectors - With two sets of BNC connectors on each of its four outputs, the IN3808 lets you connect up to 8 total display and output devices without additional outboard distribution amplifiers. The dual connectors are ideal for double-stacked projector installations and for connecting cueing or preview monitors found in complex presentation and staging systems.

Projector Control - The IN3808 can store and transmit serial control commands to projectors, INLINE products or other serial controlled A/V equipment. WindowsTM software provided with the switcher makes it easy to set up the unit and store control codes. All serial control codes are provided by the installing technician.

Function Buttons - In addition to codes triggered automatically by input selection, the switcher can also store 8 additional code strings which are triggered by the four function buttons. The function buttons might be used to set the projector into standby mode, select lighting presets, switch scan doubler inputs, interface with a control system or to activate virtually any other serially controlled event.
