Synergy SD - Interface List

Below is a list of devices that Synergy 1 through 4 SD (software version 17.11a) switchers interface with. It is important to note that, since not all manufacturers use industry-standard protocol, most of these devices required customized software to make them work. They have all undergone extensive testing and integration has been confirmed directly by Ross technical staff.

It is also possible that Synergy is compatible with many additional devices not listed here. If you have such a device, and would like to control it with your Synergy switcher, please contact Ross Video, as we are continuously adding new interfaces.

Note: Limited device control is also available on the Synergy 100 SD.
