INTRODUCTION
The SN-4100 series switcher is a 4 input to 1 output high
resolution VGAswitcher. The ‘A’models include bal-anced
stereo audio switching with audio following video.
The SN-4100 is ideally suited for stand alone use or as
an upstream switcher for a stand alone scaler such as
the FSR MAS-3100 or a scaling switcher such as the
FSR Compass, Compass S2 or Omni Navigator. The SN-4100
could also be used to route 4 high resolution sig-nals
to a down converter such as the FSR MDC-MK1.
At 1 RU in height, and 1/2 rack wide, the SN-4100 is
easy to install and does not require an excessive
amount of space. All connections are on the back of
the unit using HD-15’s for VGAand 5 position plug-gable
Phoenix connectors for stereo balanced audio.
Control of the SN-4100 is available on the front panel
through 4, large, easy to see push buttons with an LED
that illuminates for the selected input. The SN-4100
also provides a contact closure interface, with lamp
feedback, for remote control or to interface to an AMX
or Crestron system.
As with all FSR products, the SN-4100 includes all of
the necessary accessories for use and installation. The
SN-4100 ships with a power supply, manual and a full
width rack mount kit with removable blank.

INSTALLATION
Connect each of the video sources to video inputs 1through 4.
Connect each of the audio sources to audio inputs 1 through 4. (See diagrams)
Use the diagrams on the following page for “mono” or unbalanced audio
sources.
Connect the input from a control source to the remote input. (If used) Use the
chart on the following page for the remote control pinout.
Connect the supplied AC adapter and plug it into a 117 VAC wall outlet. The
input #1 LED should be lit on power up.
Connect the display device to SN-4100A video output connector.
Connect the SN-4100A audio output to the audio amplifier input and turn on
the amplifier. (see pinout)
The input #1 image should now be appear on the display and #1 audio input
heard through the speakers. Adjust the amplifier for desired audio level
Depressing any of the other input select pushbuttons will display the
respective audio and video input. Adjust each audio source gain controls for
desired audio levels.
Shorting any of the four switch inputs on the DB-9 to pin 5 (ground) will also
switch to that audio and video input. (See pinout)
There is a latching lamp tally output available on the DB-9 connector that
follows the input status leds on the front panel pushbuttons and can be used to
activate external indicators. (See pinout for details)
