Introduction
Although each EXTRON System 8/10 PLUS switcher has been factory preset for the
requested projector brand configuration, it can easily be changed to make your
system switcher compatible with any projector brand you choose.
This manual has been carefully written in an effort to provide you with the
detailed information that you need to connect your System 8/10 PLUS switcher to
most projectors available in today’s market. It covers both the System 8 PLUS
and the System 10 PLUS, however, since the only difference between these two
switchers is the number of inputs, they will be referred to as “System 8/10 PLUS”.
Equipment Description
The Extron System 8/10 PLUS switchers are microprocessor controlled with BNC
type input and output connectors for video. The built-in microprocessor provides
