Chapter 1: Introducing Your New N7142 Room Switcher
Product Overview
The SVSI N7142 presentation switcher provides low-latency Networked AV distribution. Designed for professional AV integration,
this unit has six local inputs, two outputs, and two available slots for any SVSI networked AV cards to support the best codec for the
application.
The four 4K60 HDMI inputs and two VGA inputs can be independently switched between two scaled HDMI outputs. Each of the two
outputs has a mirrored HDMI port so that the output can be sent to an Encoder card, a second display, or other video distribution
equipment.
The N7142 also has extensive audio support, with a built-in DSP and 60W stereo amplifier capable of operating in 4Ω/8Ω, 70V, or
100V modes. In addition to audio from the HDMI inputs, the N7142 has six independent balanced stereo inputs and two
independent microphone inputs with phantom power.
There are two models of the N7142. The NMX-PRS-N7142 is the base presentation switcher, with two available Networked AV slots
that can be populated with Encoder and Decoder cards as required by the application. The NMX-PRS-N7142-23 is an identical
presentation switcher, pre-populated with one N2312 Encoder card and one N2322 Decoder card, making it perfect for costsensitive 4K video distribution applications.
Common Applications
While the N7142 is priced right for any design requiring the need of a presentation switcher, the two available Networked AV card
slots make it the perfect presentation switcher for active learning environments, or campuses where overflow support is required.
Integrating the N7142 into a classroom is extremely simple, requiring only web page configuration to set up the system. The
N7142 has Panel Builder built-in so that mobile device UIs can be created to control the switcher from anywhere in the room
(assuming that the mobile device has wireless access to the same network that the N7142 is connected to). The built-in, six-port
managed switch allows the N7142 and the two Networked AV cards to be connected to the LAN with a single network drop.
Features include:
4K60 4:4:4 Video Switching – Switch and display 4K video sources without compromising video quality.
HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 Support – By incorporating HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, the N7142 is compatible with all the latest 4K
sources and displays.
Integrated Networked AV Slots and Gigabit Ethernet Switch – Distribute video in active learning environments or to
overflow locations using built-in Networked AV technology. The Networked AV card slots are designed to support the
existing Encoder and Decoder cards. The built-in switch provides PoE+ on three of its six ports.
Built-in Audio Amplifier with 4Ω/8Ω, 70V, and 100V Modes – Having built-in support for all three amplifier modes simplifies
purchasing and sparing decisions.
Front Panel Control – Provides a cost effective, simple solution for selecting inputs without the need for an auxiliary control
system.
Panel Builder Built-In – Operate the N7142 using a tablet from anywhere in the room.
