The IDK MSD-6204 is a high-performance digital multi switcher with a scan converter and up to 8 inputs and 4 outputs.
For video input, 8 digital and 2 analog inputs are included and the following signals are supported: HDMI, DVI, HDBaseT, composite video, Y/C, analog RGB, and analog YPbPr signals. HDBaseT input supports Power over HDBaseT (PoH) that can power the connected devices. Input video signals are converted to HDMI/DVI or HDBaseT signals and output at a resolution up to 4K@30.
For audio input, 8 digital and 2 analog inputs are included. Selected audio signals are output to digital audio, and 1 of 8 digital audio outputs can be selected to be output as analog audio. The lip sync function corrects the gap between the video and audio.
This switcher also has RS-232C and LAN ports as communication ports for control to enable you to set menus remotely. You can also control external devices that are connected to the MSD-6204 over RS-232C, LAN, CEC, or contact closure by registering external control commands. The waiting function helps you to send external commands after cooling time passes as power supply control of projectors or the like. External Control commands can be executed from front keys, RS-232C, or LAN; they can also be executed when input channel selection keys or power supply key is operated.
Dante output is available as an optional extra. With the network audio, 64-channel at 48 kHz-sample frequency audio can be delivered over a LAN cable.
