Because its function can be shared with other equipment in a  
system, a DC power supply is not included.  
For standalone use, the power supply you use should be  
capable of supplying 9 to 16 volts DC at up to 100mA.  
 
Introduction  
The A-6 Multi Media Port combines the following  
functions:  
Input plate  
Four input Audio-video switcher  
Two input RGBHV switcher  
RGBHV splitter  
in a single-gang wallplate. The Eiki A-6 greatly  
simplifies installation and cabling and avoids the  
need in most cases for video/audio and RGBHV  
switchers.  
Anyone who has ever had to manage AV  
facilities will appreciate these unique features of  
the MultiMedia Port:  
A fast-response “Signal Present”  
indicator LED for the laptop input helps a  
user to quickly set up a laptop so that it  
is outputting a signal.  
MultiMedia Ports can be installed in  
different parts of a room and “daisy-  
chained” to create an economical multi-  
point input solution with minimal wiring  
and no central switchers.

A “Monitor” output allows a desktop PC  
to display its output on a projector and  
its own monitor at the same time.

The diagrams on this page show the inputs and  
outputs that are available on the A-6 Multi  
Media Port. The rear connections use screw  
terminal plugs to simplify the installation of  
fixed wiring.

The Eiki A-6 is an ideal companion for the Eiki  
MCS-1 and connects directly to it with the  
supplied interface cable.  
+24v  
The A-6 may also be controlled by other  
systems. It includes video sensor outputs that  
may be read by external equipment. Or the A-6  
may be used standalone and locked to any fixed  
input arrangement by a combination of  
connections on the interface cable.

Input terminals  
On the front of the unit there are the following connections:  
One VGA input  
One VGA monitor output. This follows the output of the switcher.  
Two RCA sockets for line audio, shared with a 3.5mm stereo jack  
One RCA socket for composite video input.  
The audio and video inputs are accessed together as Input 3. The VGA input is  
switched separately. If you want to use the audio inputs with the VGA input you  
have to select them separately as AV input 3.  
On the rear of the unit there are the following connections:  
One VGA input on HDDB15 connector  
One VGA projector output on HDDB15 connector  
Three audio inputs on screw terminal connectors. Input 1 is a mono input.  
Three video inputs on screw terminal connectors.  
One pair of stereo audio outputs on screw terminal connectors  
One Composite video output on screw terminal connectors  
Two breakout connections from the Control and Power socket for relay drive.  
(See notes on the following page for more information.)  
Audio input 4 would normally be used in conjunction with the rear PC input.  
There is an internal 2 pin jumper that, when linked, converts to output to mono by  
combining L and R audio signals.  
With no control inputs asserted, AV 1 and the rear VGA input is selected.

Programming an MCS-1 to control the A-6 Multi Media Port  
In the Eiki Control System Editor, select MCS-1 as your device.  
In “Edit behaviour” mode, double-click the key you wish to program. A  
dialog like that shown will appear.  
You can choose the inputs of the A-6 you wish to select when the button is  
pressed by using the drop-down items in the Multimedia Port section, as  
shown.  
Eiki Control System Editor software version 2.7.15 or later has a “Relay  
Output” drop-down item that allows you to operate an external relay which  
can be used to control a motorised screen or lights, for example.  
Make sure that when you are programming keys that should not change the  
state on the A-6 Multi Media Port, the selections are left at the default of  
“No change”.  
“AV 1 (rear)”  
will select A in  
1 and V1 in  
inputs on the  
rear of the unit.  
Audio and video  
inputs are  
switched  
simultaneously.  
“RGB front” will  
select the VGA  
socket marked  
“Laptop” on the  
front of the unit.  
Please note that  
any audio  
associated with an  
RGB input must be  
selected separately  
using the  
A/V Selection  
drop-down. Audio  
for RGB Front would  
be selected with  
“AV 3 (front)”

Interfacing to the MultiMedia Port.  
If you wish to control the A-6 internal switchers in some other way, or configure the  
unit as a standalone, fixed input wallplate, you will need to know the control port
