Video Matrix Switcher

VS4X4

The NetMedia VS4X4 Video Matrix Switcher sends 4 video inputs to 4 different outputs. Each output can show a
single input or a rotating combination of inputs. The selected inputs and combinations may be the same or differ­ent for each output. To use as a 4-way video distribution amplifier, setup Input 1 as the only source for all 4 outputs.
To setup one or more outputs as a sequencer, enable multiple inputs and select rotation mode. To setup one or
more outputs as a manual switcher, deselect rotation mode and choose the desired input.
