product under $1000 on the
market which can deliver
full quality HDTV
matrix switching!
It is also the most feature
rich matrix switch available,
combining HDTV video, analog
audio, coax & optical
digital audio, digital audio
transcoding, and distribution
capable output drivers.
Don't settle for an inferior
product which will degrade
your signals.
Accepts any remote control!

This unit delivers ultra
clean noise performance
and more bandwidth than
needed for all high definition
video standards. The CSM42
is also the easiest component
switch on the market to
setup and use, and it supports
all HDTV video and audio
formats Our proprietary
ZeroKey technology allows
switching to be performed
by any key on any remote.
No need for separate remotes
or remote programming. The
CSM42 is the optimal solution
for all these applications,
and the specs speak for

Video Distribution
CSM42 is the ideal amplifier
for driving long video cables
in your home. Many vendors
claim their products can
do this, but very few can
accomplish this without
distortion of the video.
The most important amplifier
design factors in driving
long cables are source impedance
matching, output connector
quality, amplifier bandwidth,
and amplifier current drive
and slew rate. Our amplifier
uses the best components
for all these, resulting
in the best signal distribution
you can get. If you are
interested in video distribution,
please see our information
page for more tips on optimizing
your network for zero distortion.
ZeroKey Technology
The
CSM42 switch can be controlled
manually by toggle button,
or by remote control. The
remote control interface
uses ZeroKey infrared code
cloning to map any remote
control key to each one
of the four video &
audio inputs. Here are the
steps to program the CSM42
for your remote.
-
Press
the toggle button to select
the input/output pair
you would like to train
-
Hold the
toggle button for 3 seconds
and release
-
The LED
indicator for the selected
channel will now flash
continuously, this means
it is ready to be programmed
-
Aim your
remote control at the
CSM42 and press the key
you would like to use
to select this input
-
The LED
indicator will stop flashing,
this means the code has
been stored.
-
Repeat
for the other input/output
pairs (up to 16 total).
ZeroKey technology is compatible
with virtually all remote
controls and does not interfere
with the normal operation
of the remote. The best way
to use this is to program
the CSM42 with the same keys
you normally push to switch
your AV receiver or TV. The
CSM42 will switch at the same
time as your TV or receiver
without the need for complicated
macros or pushing extra buttons!
ZeroKey programming is stored
in flash memory, and you will
not need to reprogram even
if you lose power. If you
buy a new remote in the future,
don't worry, the CSM42 can
be reprogrammed as much as
you like.
