Flexible and reliable thanks to high-quality components.
Easy to install
Today’s meeting rooms are equipped such that the signal to an output device (projector etc.) can be switched between various sources. Key requirements are also ease of installation, ease of use and flexibility. An exemplary solution to all these conditions is the Media Switch system.
Ease of integration
The control elements can be fitted into existing Bachmann Facility products on a plug-and-play basis. Like all Media Technology systems, Media Switch is also simple to plan, easy to install and straightforward to use. Several users can dock their laptops simultaneously via the multiple power strips.
The VGA sockets on the power strips allow e. g. presentations to be sent to the beamer.
As soon as a user presses the button on his / her power strip, the switch selects the image signal on that panel / laptop. The connection to the switch is set up via a pre-prepared set of cables. The button press issues a command to the switch to route the incoming image and sound signals to the beamer and loudspeakers.
Signal amplifier
To ensure problem-free image signals, it is recommended that signal amplifier are used with the Media switch system. This enables image signals from devices with less powerful graphics cards to be transmitted with significantly better quality. The signal amplifier is fitted between each power strip and the switch.
Switching is effected by pressing the button on a custom module with VGA and stereo mini jack on the power strip. As soon as the button is pressed, the image and sound signals are routed to the switch. The button is illuminated blue until another user activates the button on his / her own power strip to obtain signal authorisation.
