INTRODUCTION
The MAS-6100 is a multi-purpose Video Switcher/Scaler that is ideal for boardroom and house of worship
presentation systems. The MAS-6100 provides high quality scaling from Standard Definition, High Definition
and Computer video sources to resolutions that match your projector, plasma or HD display.
The MAS-6100A adds a 4x1 stereo audio switcher with balanced output and adjustable delay to keep the audio
and video in sync.
The MAS-6100’s have 2 Composite Video Inputs, 2 S-Video Inputs, one Component input and one RGB Input.
Both NTSC and PAL are supported.
The scaled output is selectable at any computer resolution up to 2048x2048 as well as all HDTV resolutions up
to 1080p.
The MAS-6100 can be controlled in a variety of ways. The front panel along with an on-screen display handle
all set-up and switching features. The 6200 can also be remotely controlled from the FSR Room Navigator or
other control system via the RS-232 port or the IR Port.
To make IR control easy and painless, all IR codes are provided in a CCF format and are available on the FSR
web site. These can be used in nearly any universal remote control or from any control system with IR output.
In addition to the standard scaling and switching capabilities, the MAS-6100 has a built in keyer to allow
computer generated text to be superimposed upon a video background, pan and zoom and a host of other
features normally found on much more expensive products.
FEATURES:
• Automatic Incoming Resolution Detection
• Video Outputs: One 3 RCA Component and 1HD-15 RGB/Component
• Video Inputs: Two BNC Composite, two S-Video, One HD-15 Computer / Component and one 5BNC

INSTALLATION
The MAS-6100 mounts easily into a standard 19” rack. It should be placed in an area where the user can easily
access the front panel controls. The units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack-
mount hardware.
When rack mounting the unit, remember that the maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit is 40
degrees C. Leave at least one inch of space front and rear to make sure that the airflow is not restricted.
When installing equipment into a rack, distribute the units evenly to prevent hazardous conditions that may
be created by uneven weight distribution. Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable
grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

compensate for internal video processing delays and effectively synchronize the audio and video. The
switches can be used in any combination to create the desired audio delay. The silk-screening lists the
various time delay settings in milliseconds.
The dip switch values are 85ms, 43ms, 21ms, and 11ms. When a switch is moved to the “UP” position
the delay is added to the audio.
