The 421 Switch can be controlled in several 
ways. For direct use, a front-panel button al-
lows the users to step through the inputs. LEDs 
indicate which input is selected.

For serial control, a 9600 baud serial port is pro-
vided, allowing interfacing via RS232 command. 
In addition, sources may be assigned to different 
inputs, eg Cable = input 1, etc. This allows 
the unit to be controlled via Meridian Comms 
(DIN or BNC) so as to select the correct input 
automatically when a source is selected in a 
Meridian system. A G12 infrared sensor may be 
connected via a Comms port for infrared remote 
control capabilities. In this case the sources on 
the remote are assigned to the following default 
inputs:

Input assignment can also be carried out in the 
Meridian configuration application.

Switcher Input 4 automatically senses the pres-
ence of a Meridian DVD-Audio/Video player, 

making a range of additional options available 
in the player’s on-screen display allowing video 
sources to be assigned to the other Switcher 
inputs. (Player firmware revision 1.93 or later re-
quired.) The 421 front panel button is automati-
cally locked out when controlled by a player, to 
avoid inadvertent operation.

The 421 Switch includes indicators correspond-
ing to each input to show which is currently 
selected. The selected input indicator comes on 
solidly when an HDMI input is valid, and flashes 
when invalid. The unit is powered by a separate 
universal voltage supply or any DC supply from 
6 to 15V, at under 3W. The rubber feet may be 
removed to reveal holes for permanent installa-
tion – mounting plates and screws provided.

Both the 121 Extender and 421 Switch pass 
both HDMI audio and video and are completely 
transparent to handshaking, control and data 
signals, with extremely high bandwidth and 
virtually zero latency.
