1.4 Introduction
This Avenview SW-VGA-5X5, 5X5 VGA Matrix Switch with Audio and Ethernet Support receives and amplifies
up to 5 VGA inputs, perfectly switches the desired input to the VGA equipped monitor or receiver. This matrix
enables the broadcast of multiple computers’ audio and video outputs to multiple displays. Any one of the
inputs can be broadcasted to any or all of the outputs without introducing noticeable video quality distortion.
The matrix switch supports VGA video bandwidth up to 400MHz and also supports YPbPr (component) signals.
The re-transmitted video quality is guaranteed and the longest transmission is up to 65 meters (210 feet).
Therefore, SW-VGA-5X5 offers the most convenient and cost effective means for swift switch of high quality
PC graphics and HDTV videos with crystal clear audio in the market. With equipped audio matrix, SW-VGA-5X5
is ready to be as YPbPr (Component) matrix with stereo audio and ideally for boardroom, showroom, and
exhibition. Through IR remote, RS-232 or front panel push button, the control of SW-VGA-5X5 becomes
versatile and easier.
- Broadcasts the audio and video outputs from five computers to five monitors and speakers
- Up to 5 Graphics/Video Inputs (appropriate adapters are required for Component))
- Supports video bandwidth up to 400 MHz
- Any one of the inputs can be broadcasted to any or all of the outputs
- Built-in video signal amplifier for up to 65m (210-ft) long transmission
- 3.5mm audio outputs to drive either speakers or earphones
- Multiple control by IR remote, push button, RS-232 control and Ethernet
- 1U rack mountable

1. Setting Button
1 Initial or any change to Ethernet settings, users MUST power cycle VGA matrix in order to
get the network settings effective!
2 Please notice that Ethernet control has a higher priority than RS-232. If RS-232 and Ethernet
controls come from 2 different hosts, commands may coincide and in this case, commands from
Ethernet will be effective immediately no matter whether commands from RS-232 are accurately sent
and executed!
Click Get button to read back device ID.
Click Set button to write device ID.
Click Rename button to open the String Table.
For Ethernet 1 group, users have to define Ethernet
properties through RS-232 for the matrix. All the
parameters for Ethernet have to be saved into the matrix
by clicking on Write To Device button.
In the Communication 2 group, users can choose the
control interface between matrix and PC host.
