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

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.
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

Chapter 1. Introduction
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 A/V
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 A/V setup
targeted towards broadcasting stations, traffic and transportation-related
control rooms, emergency service centers and any application that requires
customizable high speed A/V signal routing.
