Introduction

The SM-nXm-AV-LCD Audio/Video Matrix switch (VEEMUX-A) allows up to 32 audio/video sources (n) to be connected to up to 16 destinations (m). Different destinations can even be connected to the same source. Video resolution up to 1920x1200@85Hz is supported with no degradation – guaranteed. Stereo audio is supported, as well as volume control and separate audio/video switching. An LCD on the front panel indicates the current connections. The VEEMUX-A can be controlled by three methods: Front Panel Keypad, RS-232 interface, or optional Infrared Remote.

Ordering Information

The SM-nXm-AV-LCD Audio/Video Matrix switch (VEEMUX-A) can be ordered in many sizes and with several control options. The base unit includes a user keypad and an RS232 port to make up a complete system, with an option for an infrared control. The infrared option is purchased separately, allowing for maximum user satisfaction in each unique configuration.

The VEEMUX-A Audio/Video Matrix switch is built to a specific size ranging from 8 to 32 inputs and 2, 4, 8, 12, or 16 outputs. Simply order a VEEMUX-A-nXm where the “n” in the part number represents the number of inputs and the “m” in the part number represents the number of outputs.

SM-nXm-AV-LCD

Replace the “n” with 8,16, or 32

Replace the “m” with 2,4,8,12, or 16

The following list represents the available sizes that can be ordered:

SM-8x2-AV-LCD SM-16x2-AV-LCD SM-32x2-AV-LCD SM-8x4-AV-LCD SM-16x4-AV-LCD SM-32x4-AV-LCD

SM-16x8-AV-LCD SM-32x8-AV-LCD SM-16x12-AV-LCD SM-32x16-AV-LCD SM-16x16-AV-LCD

Optional Features

• DDC Support (see page 15)- to order, add "D" to the part number (i.e. SM-nXm-AVD-LCD)

• Infrared Control (see page 14)- to order, add "IR" to the part number (i.e. SM-nXm-AV-LCD-IR)

Cables

All cables are sold separately. The following table lists the available stocked cables with their length in feet. All of the 15HD and BNC input and output connectors on VEEMUX-A are female. Custom cables are available – contact NTI for pricing and distance / resolution limitations.

Basic Operation

The VEEMUX-A allows any source to be connected to any destination at any time with no restrictions or limitations.

• Audio and Video connections can be made concurrently or separately (i.e. user 1 can view video from port 3

and hear audio from port 11).

• 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)

• Audio inputs accept any standard line level audio (1Vrms or 2.5Vp-p).

• Audio outputs are capable of driving an 8 Ohm speaker load with 200mW of continuous RMS power.

• The Audio output volume of the AV matrix is adjustable for each output port.

Audio Interface Cable- Connectors are 3.5mm male-male - 6/10 feet long

Audio Extension Cable- Connectors are 3.5mm male-female- 6/10 feet long
