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, 8x16, 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 con

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 (rack mount models only) • 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 opti

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, whether 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

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. Therefore, host handshaking is bypassed and TXD and RXD are the only active signals. A straight through 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 p
