Overview
The VS-201 Video Auto Switch is an automatic video switch that
is ideal for monitors using analog signals. In addition, the VS-201
boosts signals, allowing long distance transmission of up to 210
feet.
A slide switch sets the priority for the incoming video signals for
display on the monitor, and the VS-201 automatically selects the
proper input signal for its output port. Both features make the VS-
201 an excellent choice for educational environments.
Features
Suitable for SVGA, VGA and multisync monitors.
Switch setting to automatically select the incoming video
signal.
Extends video signals up to 210 feet (65M).
Daisy-chainable to VS-104 and VS-108 switches.
