NTI VEEMUX AUDIO/VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH VIA CAT5
INTRODUCTION
The SM-nXm-C5AV-LCD (VEEMUX) is an Audio/Video Matrix switch via CAT5 designed to work in conju nction with the
NTI ST-C5VA-600 or ST-C5SVA-600 CAT5 Audio/Video Extender (XTENDEX). Up to 32 audio/video so urces can be connected
to the VEEMUX via XTENDEX Local Units (n), each accessible by up to 16 audio/video displays connected via XTENDEX
Remote Units (m).
The VEEMUX enables connections from any single XTENDEX Local Unit to any or all of the connected XTENDEX
Remote Units, creating a matrix of possible CAT5 audio/video connections. Audio/video displays can be located up to 6 00 feet
away from the connected source.
The available models are:
SM-8X8-C5AV-LCD SM-16X8-C5AV-LCD SM-32X8-C5AV-LCD
SM-8X16-C5AV-LCD SM-16X16-C5AV-LCD SM-32X16-C5AV-LCD
Features
