The Extron SW6 RGBHV is a high performance, six input RGBHV switcher using BNC connectors. The switcher allows multiple RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV component video, S-video, or composite video sources to be switched to one compatible display device. With 350 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth, it supports a wide array of high resolution signals.The SW6 RGBHV provides multiple control options including front panel, RS-232, contact closure, and auto-input switching. The auto-input switch function can be enabled or disabled via a toggle switch on the back panel. The SW6 RGBHV is housed in a 1U, rack-mountable metal enclosure and ships with rack ears.

The SW6 RGBHV can be controlled through a 9-pin remote control port which enables RS-232 control, as well as contact closure control. It is also compatible with the Extron KP 6 Keypad Remote Control and the Extron IR 102 Kit IR remote.
