Otherwise, it may move/fall and lead to injury.
Instruction
●Installation work must be done by the professionals.
The product is intended to be installed by skilled technicians. For installation, please contact a system integrator
or IDK. Improper installation may lead to the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or property damage.
●
Set the power plug in a convenient place to unplug easily.
Unobstructed access to the plug enables unplugging the product in case of any extraordinary failure, abnormal
situation or for easy disconnection during extended periods of non-use.
●
Insert the power plug into an appropriate outlet completely.
If the plug is partially inserted, arching may cause the connection to overheat, increasing the risk of electrical
shock or fire. Do not use a damaged plug or connect to a damaged outlet.
●
Unplug the AC adapter when installing products.
When connecting devices, unplug all devices from outlets. Ground potential gap may cause fire or other
problems.
■For operating products:
Prohibited
●Keep out any foreign objects.
In order to avoid fire or electric shock, do not allow foreign objects, such as metal and paper, to enter the product
from the vent holes.
●
For power cable/ plug:
・
Do not scratch, heat, or modify, including lengthening them.
・
Do not pull, place heavy objects on them, or pinch them.
・
Do not bend, twist, or tie them together forcefully.
Misuse of the power cable and plug may cause fire or electric shock. If power cables/plugs become damaged,
contact your IDK representative.
Do not
disassemble
●Do not repair, modify or disassemble.
Since the product includes circuitry
that uses potentially lethal, high voltage levels, disassembly by unauthorized
personnel may lead to the risk of fire or electric shock. For internal inspection or repair, contact your IDK
representative.
Do not touch
●Do not touch the product and connected cables while thunder lasts.
Contact may cause electric shock
Instruction
●Clean the power plug regularly.
If the plug is covered in dust, it may increase the risk of firer.

If the product is used outside the specified range for temperature and humidity continuously, it may increase the
risk of fire or electric shock.
●
Do not place the product at elevations of 2,000 meters (1.24 mi.) or higher above
sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
●
When mounting the product into the rack, provide sufficient cooling space.
Mount the product in a the rack meeting EIA standards, and maintain spaces above and below for air circulation.
For your safety, attach an L-shaped bracket in addition to the panel mount bracket kit to improve mechanical
stability.
●
Never insert screws without the rubber feet into the threaded holes
on the bottom
of the product.
Never insert screws without the rubber feet into the threaded holes on the bottom of the product. Doing so may
lead to damage when the screws contact electrical circuitry or components inside the product.
Reinstall the originallysupplied rubber feet using only the originally supplied screws.
■For operating products:
Prohibited
●Use only the supplied power cable and AC adapter.

1 About this Guide
This user’s guide explains how to use the MSD-62 series switchers (hereafter referred to as “MSD”). All MSD
series switchers include scan conversion. The models are generally divided into four models, based on the
number of outputs. Since descriptions in this document are for MSD-6208, there may be slight differences
between these model and other models.

3 Product outline
Models within the MSD-62 series are high performance, digital presentation switchers with built-in scan
converters.
The following input signal formats are supported: HDMI, DVI, composite video, S-video, analog RGB/HV, and
analog YPbPr signal. All video signal inputs are converted to HDMI signals and output at user definable
resolution formats up to 4K@30.
For audio input and output, digital audio and analog audio formats are supported, and they are cross-routable.
Audio levels of each input and output can be set individually. The lip sync feature provides the user with a
means to control time alignment between the video and audio.
The MSD series switchers may be configured and controlled remotely via RS-232C or TCP/IP (LAN).
Additionally, peripheral devices connected to the MSD can be controlled through RS-232C, LAN, CEC, or
contact closure by registering external device control commands. The waiting function can delay the issuance
of registered commands to peripheral equipment. As an example, a power down command can be delayed
until after sufficient lamp cooling time for a projector has elapsed.
Control commands can be initiated from front panel keys or in response to commands that are issued to the
MSD via RS-232C or LAN. Commands can also be initiated when input specified channel selection keys are
operated or the MSD is powered ON.
With Dante (optional), up to 64 audio channels (48 kHz) can be transmitted over one LAN cable.
