Introduction

Overview

This ATEN Modular Matrix Solution Series is comprised of the VM1600A Modular Matrix Switch, input boards, output boards, and ATEN video receiver (VE805R / VE816R).

The VM1600A Modular Matrix Switch offers advanced access and real-time control of multiple local and remote AV input devices and displays from a single chassis. Operators can work from 4 x 4 up to 16 x 16 inputs and outputs simultaneously, as well as incorporate multiple digital video formats within the setup. It uses TMDS technology to support high speed data transfer at 1080p / 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz.

The VM7584 and VM8584 (4-Port 10G Optical Input / Output Board) offer an easy way for the VM1600A to route 4 HDMI sources over long distances via optical extenders, the VE883 to 4 HDMI-enabled displays. These I/O boards are able to route uncompressed 4K signal to the VM1600A from up to 300 m (VM7584K1 and VM8584K1) or 10 km (VM7584K2 and VM8584K2) away over duplex fiber optic cables. On top of audio and video signal, the optical fiber also guarantees an interference-free long-haul transmission of IR and RS-232 control signals.

The VM7514 / VM8514 4-Port HDBaseT Input/Output Boards offers an easy way to route any of 4 HDBaseT audio/video sources to any of 4 HDBaseT display devices, in combination with the ATEN Modular Matrix Switch. When the VM8514 HDBaseT Output Board is used in conjunction with the VE805R / VE816R HDBaseT Extender, it features Seamless Switch™ technology and video wall functionality.

The VM7904 is a 4-Port 4K DisplayPort Input Board that works with an ATEN Modular Matrix Switch to offer an easy way that routes 4 DisplayPort video and audio sources to up to 16 or 32 displays. In addition to the DisplayPort interface that carries digital AV signal, the VM7904 also provides 4 stereo audio input ports that allow stereo audio to be routed independently or embedded for HDMI output. Ideal for high-resolution video wall applications, the VM7904 effectively routes DisplayPort sources with 4K resolution up to 4096x2160@30Hz (4:4:4) and EDID Expert™ technology for the optimum resolutions across different displays.

Modular Matrix Solution User Manual

The VM7814 / VM8814 is a 4-Port 4K HDMI input/output board that works with VM1600A to route 4 HDMI sources to 4 displays. The VM7814 / VM8814 is equipped with 4 input/output ports to allow for stereo audio embedding and audio extraction. The VM8814 supports Seamless Switch

to ensure real-time video switching, a built-in 4K scaler to handle videos of different resolutions, and EDID Expert

to ensure high video quality.

The VM7824/VM8824 is a True 4K HDMI input/output board that works with ATEN Modular Matrix to offer an easy way to route 4 HDMI audio/video sources to 4 displays with True 4K high-definition images.* In addition to the HDMI interface that carries digital AV signal, the VM7824/VM8824 also provides 4 stereo audio input/output ports that enable stereo audio embedding or HDMI audio extraction.

Note: The VM7824 and VM8824 boards support up to true 4K resolutions

only when installed on the VM3250. When the VM7824 and VM8824 are installed on the VM1600A, the modular matrix will only support resolutions up to 4K 4:4:4@30Hz or 4:2:0@60Hz.

The VM7804 / VM8804 4-Port HDMI Input / Output Board is a hot-swappable I/O board that offers an easy way to route any of 4 audio/video sources to any of 4 displays and installs in the Modular Matrix Switch. The VM8804 supports Seamless Switch

technology that provides video switching in real-time, a built in scaler that handles different video resolutions, and EDID Expert™ technology for fast smooth switching between displays. The VM7804 / VM8804 also supports separate stereo audio signals that can be routed independently and extracted from embedded HDMI audio signals.

The VM7604 / VM8604 4-Port DVI Input / Output Board is a hot-swappable I/O board that offers an easy way to route any of 4 audio/video sources to any of 4 displays and installs in the Modular Matrix Switch. The VM8604 supports Seamless Switch™ technology that provides video switching in real-time, a built in scaler that handles different video resolutions and EDID Expert™ technology for fast smooth switching between displays.

The VM7104 4-Port VGA Input Board offers an easy way to route 4 VGA video and audio sources to 4 displays and speakers. In addition, the VM7104 can be mixed with any modular output boards on the VM1600A for optimum flexibility.

The VM7404 is a 4-Port 3G-SDI input board provides the capability to connect to SDI sources, such as 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI, and supports high quality video resolutions up to 1080p @ 60Hz. The VM7404 also supports separate analog stereo audio signals for independent routing.

Chapter 1. Introduction

The VE805R HDMI HDBaseT Lite Receiver with Scaler or VE816R 4K HDMI HDBaseT Receiver with Scaler can be combined with an ATEN HDMI HDBaseT transmitter or splitter to extend your HDMI display up to 70 m from the source using a single Cat 6a cable (or up to 60 m when using a single Cat 5e cable). With a built-in scaler, the VE805R / VE816R supports the scaling of different video resolutions. When combined with ATEN HDBaseT output boards, it supports video wall functionality. In addition, the VE805R / VE816R is equipped with RS-232 and IR signaling pass-through which allows RS-232 and IR channel control from the remote to local unit, to control the HDMI source, or from the local to remote unit, to control the display device. The VE805R / VE816R is HDCP compliant.

Combining these devices, this solution can be conveniently customized, allowing users to independently switch and route video and/or audio signals to various monitors, displays, projectors and/or speakers simply by pressing front panel pushbuttons. The VM1600A’s built-in Scaler encodes video formats in order to provide seamless, real-time switching while ensuring stable signal transmission. In addition, the front panel LCD shows a quick view of active port connections, and includes an option to select an EDID Mode that yields the best resolution across different monitors.

The VM1600A is easily expandable and accommodates ATEN’s hotswappable I/O boards. Equipped with automatic signal conversion, it allows a combination of digital video formats, thus making it ideal for large-scale AV applications.

Setup is fast and easy; install the modular I/O boards by sliding them into the VM1600A’s rear panel slots, then plug the device cables into the appropriate ports on the I/O boards and your ready.

This solution can be connected to the network through the VM1600A’s LAN port, allowing the installation to take advantage of internal Cat 5 Ethernet wiring built into most modern commercial buildings. Once initial network setup has been accomplished at the local level, the VM1600A can be conveniently managed remotely using any web browser or the Video Matrix Control app. Furthermore, for complete systems integration, the VM1600A’s built-in RS-232 and RS-485/RS-422 ports allows the switch to be configured through a high-end controller or PC.

The ATEN Modular Matrix Solution Series is a powerful integrated AV setup targeted towards broadcasting stations, traffic and transportation-related control rooms, emergency service centers and any application that requires customizable high speed AV signal routing.
