Introduction
About the Compass S2
Compass S2 is an Audio/Video seamless switcher designed specifically for Systems Integrators. The unit provides
truly seamless transitions to support professional quality audiovisual presentations. Compass S2 features eight
universal A/V inputs that accept composite (NTSC/PAL), s-video, component, computer, and HDTV video as well as
associated stereo audio signals. FSR’s Auto Signal Lock (ASL™) technology simplifies setup by automatically locking
to the incoming video signal and scaling to the native resolution or “sweet spot” of the display device to optimize
image quality. The operator can seamlessly transition between video sources. Audio sources can be configured to
automatically follow video source selection or can be switched independently (audio breakaway with cross-fade).
Compass S2 also accepts two non-switched audio sources (LINE and MIC) that can be mixed with the audio from the
selected input channel. Main and Preview A/V outputs are provided. An RS-232 serial interface is provided to support
remote control operation.
