Special Features

The System 8/10 PLUS has some special features, one of which is Auto Sync

Detect. Auto Sync Detect determines what type of RGB sync is being input.

Sometimes this feature must be disabled when connecting to certain projectors.

For example, if a Barco projector is powered up with no input yet present at the

switcher, the projector will not detect any sync and will default to sync on Green.

Later, if an RGB source with separate sync is connected to the System 8/10

LUS, the Barco projector, which is still expecting sync on Green, may

experience problems dealing with this conflicting situation. However, by setting

both Input Selection DIP switches up (disabled), the switcher will disable Auto

Sync Detect which will communicate to the projector that the RGB input has

separate sync. Similarly, if Auto Sync Detect is enabled (both DIP switches

down) for an RGB input, the switcher communicates to the projector that the

RGB input has sync on Green.

Input Selection Switches

Each input must be configured. This is done by setting the DIP switches located

above the output connectors. There are two banks of DIP switches, each having

8 (or 10) switches. Each input channel has two switches assigned to it, one in

each bank. For example, input #2 uses the second switch at each bank. By

setting input #2 up in both banks, the Auto Sync Detect feature will be disabled

and the RGB sync will be defined as separate sync (as described above).
