V:E1.03 To the System IntegratorR Thank you for choosing Eiki A-6. The Eiki A-6 Multi Media Port is ideal for “smart classroom” projector installations that combine fixed PC and AV equipment with the ability to plug in portable devices such as laptops. The A-6 is a compact, easy to install integrated wallplate and VGA-AV switcher that is an ideal companion to the MCS-1 Multi Control System.
Introduction The A-6 Multi Media Port combines the following functions: • • • • Input plate Four input Audio-video switcher Two input RGBHV switcher RGBHV splitter in a single-gang wallplate. The Eiki A-6 greatly simplifies installation and cabling and avoids the need in most cases for video/audio and RGBHV switchers.
Input terminals On the front of the unit there are the following connections: • • • • One One Two One VGA input VGA monitor output. This follows the output of the switcher. RCA sockets for line audio, shared with a 3.5mm stereo jack RCA socket for composite video input. The audio and video inputs are accessed together as Input 3. The VGA input is switched separately. If you want to use the audio inputs with the VGA input you have to select them separately as AV input 3.
