COMPLIANCE INFORMATION

The ViewZ equipment has been tested to comply with the following.

• FCC - Class A

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equip ment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radi o
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his / her own expense.

INTRODUCTION TO VZ-MV802 MULTIVIEWERS

The ViewZ VZ-MV802 Multiviewer platform displays multiple auto-detecting video inputs at different
formats on a high resolution display up to resolutions of 2048x1080. The VZ-MV802 Platform
combines the display of video windows, audio meters, label/UMD, tallies, alarms and indicators in a
very space efficient package.

HARDWARE

The ViewZ VZ-MVxxx Multiviewer Platform consists of 2 different sizes of mechanical frames to serve
the needs of broadcast, professional AV and surveillance markets. Each multiviewer frame has a
unique IP address, which allows a PC/laptop to easily connect and configure the display layouts.

6

VZ-MVxxx PLATFORM PRODUCT LINE

Two types of mechanical frames are available for the VZ-MVxxx family:

1. VZ-MV802: The 1 RU VZ-MV802 accepts 8 video inputs including from HDMI*, DVI or VGA.
The VZ-MV802 has two flexible DVI/HDMI (1.2/1.3) with user selectable resolutions up to
2048x1080. Analog or AES audio options can be added at any time during or after the
