INTRODUCTION
1
Atlona Technologies’ AT-COMP-42M is one of the most innovative Component Video with Opti-
cal/Digital Coax/Analog Audio Matrix switcher on the market. The AT-COMP-42M has 4 indi-
vidual Component (RCA) /Optical/Digital Coax and Stereo Audio inputs and 2 individual outputs.
Because it is a matrix switch, any input can be routed to any output; and the same input can be
routed to all outputs or any other combination. This switch is ideal for connecting sources includ-
ing: (VCRs, Camcorders, Video Game Consoles, DVDs, Satellite Receivers, Set Top Boxes,
Apple TV, etc.) to desired displays such as: (HDTV, LCDs, Plasma Monitors, Video Projectors,
etc.) Selection of inputs can be achieved manually through the Front Panel, an Infrared Remote
