SDB45 System Overview
The SDB45 is a versatile audio/video switching system and has the capacity for four Audio/Video inputs and five Audio/
Video outputs along with a separate audio output for connecting an FM modulator to the vehicle radio.
The SDB45 consists of a Signal Distribution Box (SDB) and two Control Stations (CS) along with cabling for two signal
sources (SDBSC) and cabling (CSSC) for connecting two video screens.
Additional control stations (CS), Signal Distribution Box Source Cables (SDBSC), a Master Control Station (MCS) and
a Game Control Station (GCS) can be purchased to further enhance the system.
Each CS is comprised of a control station, a trim ring, a DIN cable for connecting the control station to the SDB, a
control station source cable (CSSC) for connecting the output of the SDB to a video screen. Each control station has
a volume control and two headphone jacks for listening to the selected source. In addition, each control station has an
IR sensor that allows each user to control the source component that is selected on the control station.
The Optional MCS is comprised of a master control station, a DIN cable for connecting the master control station to the
SDB, a control station source cable for connecting the audio output of the SDB to an FM modulator (which is included)
and a trim ring.
The MCS can switch the audio from any of the four A/V sources to the FM modulator (or to the low-level input of a
receiver) so that the audio can be played through the vehicle radio. The MCS also has the capability of setting a
10-minute delay. When the delay is enabled, the system will remain on for 10 minutes after the vehicle is turned off.
The MCS also has an IR sensor for controlling the source components.
(NOTE: The MCS is NOT required for the system described above.)
The optional GCS is comprised of a game control station that has RCA jacks on the front and back, a 15-foot RCA to
RCA cable and a trim ring. The GCS can be used as a game port for easy access when connecting a video game,
camcorder, portable DVD or other A/V input device.
The SDB45 can be used with essentially any source component and any video screen available.
(NOTE: The IR repeater in this system may not work with non-Audiovox components.)
