NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH
INTRODUCTION
The SM-nXm-15V-LCD (n = number of inputs (video sources), m = number of outputs (monitors)) video matrix switch (VEEMUX) allows any of up to 32 video sources to output to any or all of up to sixteen (16) monitors. The configuration of the VEEMUX is determined at time of order (i.e. 16x4,32x8, etc.). The bandwidth of the SM-nXm-15V-LCD is 200MHz and video resolutions through 1900 x1200 are supported with no degradation. The switch can be controlled with the Front Panel Keypad, RS232 interface, Ethernet, or an optional Infrared Remote.
The VEEMUX can be ordered in many sizes and with several control options. The base unit includes a user keypad, an RS232 port, and an Ethernet port to make up a complete system. The infrared option, purchased separately, allows for maximum user satisfaction in each unique configuration.
Basic Operation
The VEEMUX allows any source to be connected to any destination at any time with no restrictions or limitations.
Video inputs accept any RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB signal.
Video outputs are compatible with any RGBHV or RGBS monitor, regardless of input. (RGsB monitor requires
RGsB input)
Supported Web Browsers
Most modern web browsers should be supported. The following browsers have been tested:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
Netscape 7.0 or higher

Power Up
1. Plug the VEEMUX into an AC power outlet.
2. Power ON the VEEMUX.
3. Power ON the video sources and monitors connected to the VEEMUX.
LED MATRIX
The LED Matrix is a grid of LEDs on the front panel of the VEEMUX. This grid is used to provide a visual indication of all connections between video sources and destinations. To determine if an input (video source) is connected to an output (video destination), follow the LEDs down and to the right (respectively) until they intersect. The illuminated LED at the point of intersection indicates the input is connected to the output by the VEEMUX.

NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH
CONTROL OPTIONS
The VEEMUX video matrix switch has four methods of control:
Front Panel LCD with Keypad
Directly via an RS232 Interface
Remotely via Ethernet
Infrared Remote (optional).
Every unit comes standard with the Front Panel LCD with Keypad, and RS232 built in. Rack mount models also include Ethernet connection. If desired, the Infrared option must be requested at the time of the order. The Infrared option requires the purchase of a separate remote control device (Infrared transmitter) as well as an Infrared receiver to be installed in the VEEMUX. No software is involved (see Infrared Control on page 23). With the RS232 option, there are no external devices to be purchased. NTI provides software commands as well as a test program to ensure the RS232 functions properly (see page 8 – RS232 Control).
Front Panel LCD with Keypad Control
The front panel LCD and keypad allow the user to monitor switch status and route any user to any video source on the switch. When the unit is powered up, each monitor is automatically connected to the video source of its equa l number (i.e. monitor 1 to source 1, monitor 2 to source 2, monitor 3 to source 3, etc.). Along with the routing of the inputs (video sources) to the outputs (monitors) the keypad and LCD allow the users to configure the RS-232 control interface. The keypad buttons perform the following functions.
ESC Escape back to the main display. 0 – 9 Used to enter numbers. ( # ) OUT The output user number can be entered (2 digits or 1 digit and ENTER or IN)

Note: If the current switch configuration includes assigned Scan Mode dwell time values (pg. 8), to save the current configuration be sure to assign a memory location to it. Otherwise, when the VEEMUX is powered OFF, all dwell time values will be erased. Also, saving the configuration as memory location 0 will cause it to be the power-ON default configuration.

NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH
Scan Mode
Scan Mode causes an output port to automatically switch from one input port to the next consecutive input port after a specified period of time (referred to as the dwell time). Port switching will continue indefinitely and no ports will be skipped, wheth er there are video sources connected to them or not. If desired, the VEEMUX can be configured to skip the scanning of specific ports using the RS232 Command Protocol (page 9) or Telnet (page 13).
Dwell time settings can be any value from 0 seconds (000) to 255 seconds. A setting of 000 seconds (the default setting) disables Scan Mode for that output port. If Scan Mode is disabled for a specific port, then the video to that output will only change as decided by the administrator.
To configure Scan Mode from the front panel LCD
Press MENU, the following lines will be displayed:
1) Set Baud Rate
2) Set Unit Addr
Press MENU again, the following line will be displayed:
3) Set Scan Mode
Press 3 to select that menu item. The following request will be displayed: Select Port Select the output to be programmed using the numeric keys, then press ENTER. The display will show the current Dwell Time
value for that output and ask for a new value.
Current Time: 16 New Time:
Using the numeric keys, enter a value between 0 and 255 and press ENTER. Leading zeros are allo wed (000) but the number should not exceed 3 digits. The Scan Mode dwell setting value 0 will disable Scan Mode for that output port.
Scan Mode settings can also be configured through the RS232 Command Protocol (page 9), Telnet commands (page 13), or through the Web Interface (page 18).
NOTE: Scan Mode configuration settings can only be saved if they are assigned a memory location via the Keypad Control (page 7). Otherwise when the power is cycled to the VEEMUX, all Scan Mode settings will be erased.
TIP: If the Scan mode settings are stored as memory location 0, they will be loaded each time the VEEMUX is powered ON.
NOTE: If Outputs Scanning Sequences (page 22)
:
Is enabled, Scan Mode as configured at the LCD front panel will be disabled.
RS232 Control
RS232 enables the VEEMUX to be remotely controlled via RS232. To control the VEEMUX via RS232 the user has three options:
write a program that runs on a PC using the Command Protocol (page 9)
use the NTI Switch Control Program (page 11) provided on the CD
use the SerTest program (page 11) provided on the CD
Remote Connection
The RS232 Interface is designed to control the switch via serial (RS232) daisy chain connection from any host computer or other controller with an RS232 communications port. There is, however, a restriction that must be followed:
The pin outs for the DB-9 connector on the unit are as follows:
RS232 Connector (DB-9 FEMALE)
PIN SIGNAL FUNCTION PIN SIGNAL FUNCTION
1 None no connection 6 DTR Data Terminal Ready 2 TXD Transmit Data (RXD at host) 7 CTS Clear to Send 3 RXD Receive Data (TXD at host) 8 RTS Request to Send 4 DSR Data Set Ready 9 none no connection 5 GND Signal Ground
8
NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH
On the DB-9 female connector, pins 4 (DSR) and 6 (DTR) are shorted and pins 7 (CTS) and 8 (RTS) are shorted. T herefore, host handshaking is bypassed and TXD and RXD are the only active signals. A straight throu gh DB-9 cable (not null modem) will work for most CPUs. To daisy chain multiple units, use NTI Matrix-Y-1 "Y" cables, except for the last unit connected. (see Fig 6). For a pinout of the Matrix-Y-1 cable, see page 32. For straight through cable pinouts applicable to various terminal types, see page
31.
Baud Rate
The unit powers up with a default baud rate of 9600 and a fixed data protocol of 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. The baud rate can be changed by pressing the MENU button on the front panel keypad. Then select 1 for SET BAUD RATE and select the desired baud rate of 9600, 2400, 1200 or 300. A data protocol of 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit is used for communications.
Unit Address
To allow multiple units to be controlled from a single CPU port, the RS232 control interface is designed to allow "daisy chaining" up to 15 units using the NTI Matrix-Y-1 "Y" cables. By setting the appropriate unit address with the keypad (the default address is
01), each unit can be given a unique address (1-15). Then the unit will onl y respond to commands on the bus if its address is
embedded in the command.
To set the unit address:
-select MENU on the front panel keypad
-select 2 for SET UNIT ADDRESS
-press the address number (1-15)
- press ENTER.

If the first field is not a known command (as listed above) or SW field is different from the serial address programmed in the switch memory, the command will be ignored. If the SW field corresponds to the unit address, but the syntax is wrong after this field, the switch will answer with a bad response ?<CR>.
Autostatus
When Autostatus is enabled, any output-to-input connection change in the VEEMUX will cause an Autostatus message to be sent via RS232 to the administrator. The format of the message would be "pc SW,OP:IP<CR>"
Example of an Autostatus message: pc 01,01:04<CR> which means "At the switch with unit address 01, the output (01) has changed connection to input 04."
Notes: Message to the administrator will be delayed by any RS232 traffic being received by the switch from the administrator. Autostatus must be disabled before using SerTest or the NTI Switch Control Program (below).
By default, Autostatus is disabled and must be manually enabled. Autostatus is also disabled any time the power to the VEEMUX is interrupted.
