FEATURES/  
SW104-130  
DESCRIPTION  
Inputs  
The SW104-130 Auto-Switcher is designed to  
switch between two video+ audio sources. The  
selected source is converted and transmitted using  
ALTINEX’s Twisted Pair standard as well as  
buffered and output locally. The SW104-130 is  
designed for use with an equivalent ALTINEX TP  
Receiver such as the TP115-111.

The SW104-130 features three modes of operation:  
auto, manual, and remote. In auto mode, Input 2 is  
the default selection and the SW104-130  
automatically switches to Input 1 on signal  
detection. In manual mode, the input is selected  
using a switch on the side of the unit. Remote  
switching is made via a contact closure connected  
to the Input Select jack. The contact may be  
controlled manually, or by using a control system.

INSTALLING YOUR SW104-130

OPERATION  
7
Step 1. Make sure to use the ALTINEX power  
adapter supplied with the unit. Connect  
the power adapter to the power port. The  
Power and Input 2 LEDs should turn on.  
The SW104-130 requires only one adjustment to be  
made for optimal performance. The adjustment is  
video equalization for long cable lengths. The  
remaining controls are for input selection only.  
NOTE: Input 2 is the default if there is no  
signal on Input 1 and the Control  
Switch is in the Auto position.  
7.1 VIDEO EQUALIZATION  
Video equalization is provided to fine-tune the  
displayed image on the remote display. The  
equalization adjustments on the SW104-130  
and Twisted Pair receiver work together.  
Step 2. Connect a video and audio source to  
Input 1. If there is a properly formatted  
input signal on Input 1, the switcher will  
switch to Input 1 automatically, and the  
Input 1 LED will turn on.  
Start by setting both units to minimum and then  
increase slowly. Some monitors respond very  
quickly to changes in the equalization, others  
may not display an image until the equalization  
is set precisely.  
Step 3. Connect a video and audio source to  
Input 2. If there is a properly formatted  
input signal on Input 1, the switcher will  
remain on Input 1.  
7.2 SWITCH MODES  
7.1.1 AUTO-SWITCH MODE  
Step 4. Connect the local video and audio outputs  
In auto-switch mode, the SW104-130 automatically  
selects Input 2 if no active signal is present on  
Input 1. If a signal is on Input 2 and not on Input 1,  
the SW104-130 will maintain Input 2. However,  
when an active signal is applied to Input 1, the  
SW104-130 will switch to Input 1. If active signals  
are on both inputs, the SW104-130 will  
automatically switch to Input 1.  
to the local monitor and speakers.  
Step 5. If a remote switch is to be used, connect  
the control cable to the Input Select port.  
See Section 7 for operation control.  
Step 6. Verify that the picture quality on the  
display is good. If a signal is not being  
received, make sure that the display is  
compatible with the resolution of the  
computer graphics card.  
7.1.2 MANUAL-SWITCH MODE  
The SW104-130 control switch allows switching  
between Input 1 and Input 2. Placing the control  
switch in either the Input 1 or Input 2 position forces  
the source signal to the main and local outputs  
thereby disabling auto-switching.  
Step 7. Connect the 4TP Main Output to the input  
of the Twisted Pair receiver.  
NOTE: Connect the Twisted Pair  
receiver per its instructions.  
Step 8. The SW104-130 is now ready for  
operation. Depending on the length of the  
cable, the video equalization adjustment  
may need to be adjusted for optimal  
performance.  
7.1.3 REMOTE SWITCH MODE  
Remote switching is achieved via a contact closure  
on the Input Select jack. Remote switching mode  
disables both auto-switching and the Control Switch  
position. A closed contact selects Input 1 and an  
open contact selects Input 2.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE  
8
We have carefully tested and found no problems in  
the supplied SW104-130 unit. However, we would  
like to offer the following suggestions:  
Solution 1: Remove the input signals from the  
switcher. If the Input 2 LED is off,  
call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300. If  
the Input 2 LED is on, see  
Solution 2.  
8.1 LEDs ARE OFF  
Cause 1: The power adapter is installed  
wrong.  
Solution 2: Connect a properly formatted video  
type signal to Input 1. If the switcher  
does not switch to Input 1, see  
Solution 3.  
Solution 1: Make sure the adapter output is  
connected to the power input jack on  
the unit. If one of the LEDs is still not  
on, see Solution 2.  
Solution 3: Bypass the switcher and connect the  
output of the source directly to the  
display. If the display is good, then  
see Cause 4.  
Solution 2: Ensure the adapter is plugged into  
an AC outlet that has power. If the  
adapter has AC power and the LEDs  
are still off, see Cause 2.  
Cause 4: The wrong power adapter is  
installed.  
Cause 2: The wrong power adapter is  
installed.  
Solution 1: Please use the ALTINEX-supplied  
external adapter. If the unit still does

not  
auto-switch,  
please  
call  
ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300.  
8.3 NO DISPLAY  
Cause 1: The source has a problem.  
8.2 UNIT DOES NOT AUTO-SWITCH  
Cause 1: The remote override switch is  
installed.  
Solution: Check the source and make sure  
that there is a signal present and all  
source connections are correct. If  
the source is working and there is  
still no display, see Cause 2.  
Solution: Remove the connection to the Input  
Select jack on the unit. If a plug is in  
the jack, even without a switch  
connected, the SW104-130 will not  
auto-switch properly. If the unit does  
not auto-switch with the plug  
removed, see Cause 2.  
Cause 2: Manual override is ON.  
Solution: Make sure there is nothing  
connected to the Input Select port  
on the switcher. If there is nothing  
connected, see Cause 3.  
Cause 2: The control switch is not in the  
auto position.  
Solution: Switch the Control Switch to the  
auto position. If the unit does not  
auto-switch, see Cause 3.
