Frequently asked questions
Can these two products work together?
Yes. The PR-0402 is a video switcher that routes HDMI signals, while the MCP-108-BL is a control interface. In a larger AV installation, the control pad could potentially command the switcher through networked systems, but they serve different functions and are not dependent on each other.
Which one handles audio?
The PR-0402 includes onboard dynamic audio de-embedding to separate video and audio streams for independent routing. The MCP-108-BL is a control interface without inherent audio processing; it sends commands to manage AV systems including audio equipment.
What skill level is required to set up each?
Both are professional-grade products requiring AV system knowledge. The PR-0402 needs HDMI cable routing and source configuration; the MCP-108-BL requires Ethernet networking and button programming via the host AV control system.
How do power requirements differ?
The PR-0402 requires a standard power connection (not detailed in the description), while the MCP-108-BL uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) at 37V–57V, meaning a single Ethernet cable provides both data and power.
