5.5 Switchers SM42A and SM82A
5.5.1 Description
Switchers SM42A and SM82A are products dedicated to the management of video signals. The SM42A and
SM82A models differ only in the number of possible video input connections, 4 and 8 respectively; there are two
video outputs, one of which can be managed directly by a VCR.
As well as the usual switching, alarm management and on screen menu programming operations, the SM42A /
SM82A switcher is equipped with an optional auxiliary line that can be used to control the telemetry or
multiplexer units. Refer to the switcher manual for further information on this subject.

The communication cable is standard, as described in § 3.3 - Standard connection cable, page 12.
5.5.2.2 Switcher set tings
The new generation switcher SM42A / SM82A can be controlled by different types of keyboard and therefore
emulates the respective protocols: to control the switcher with the DCJ keyboard the MACRO protocol with baud
rate 38400 should be used.
Set the dip switches in the switcher as required (all dips are OFF, with the exception of Macro Protocol, baud
rate 38400, programming).
