NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH INTRODUCTION The VEEMUX SM-8X4-HDA (VEEMUX-A) is a versatile multi-input audio/video matrix switch that independently switches eight sets of incoming YPbPr component video and analog/digital audio signals to any or all of the four outputs. Each input and output has YPbPr component video, L/R analog audio (balanced/unbalanced), and digital audio on coax (S/PDIF). Video resolution up to 1920x1080@60Hz is supported with no degradation – guaranteed. An LCD on the fr

NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH INSTALLATION Connect the Sources 1. Turn OFF power to all video sources (inputs) that will be connected to the VEEMUX-A before connecting or disconnecting any cables. 2. Connect each video source to the VEEMUX-A using 4CEXT-xx BNC cables. The groups of terminals are labeled INPUT1-8. and colored cables attach to terminals as follows: green (Y), blue (Pb) and red (Pr). If necessary, use BNC to RCA adapters to connect the cables to the video sourc

NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH Connect RS232 RS232 control can be achieved using a separate user terminal or CPU with a terminal program. To make a terminal connection, connect a serial cable (specifications on page 30) between the user terminal and the 9 pin DIN female connector on the VEEMUX-A labeled "RS232". (See Fig. 3)

NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH CONTROL OPTIONS The VEEMUX-A video matrix switch has four methods of control: • Front Panel LCD with Keypad • Directly via an RS232 Interface • Remotely via Ethernet (web interface) • Infrared Remote (optional). Every unit comes standard with the Front Panel LCD with Keypad, RS232, and Ethernet connection built-in. 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

NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH Volume Control The volume level can be adjusted on each output port. • To increment < ▲> or decrement < ▼> the volume, use the following command: , < ▼>, Double digit output port number, < ▲> increment or < ▼> decrement, Ex 1: < ▼> 03 < ▲> < ▲> < ▲> This will increment the volume by +3dB (1dB/ step). Ex 2: < ▼> 14 < ▼> < ▼> This will decrement the volume by -2dB. • To Mute, use the command: , < ▼>, Double digit output

NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH Scan Mode Scan Mode causes output ports (audio and video) to automatically switch from one audio and video input port to the next consecutive audio and video input port after a specified period of time (referred to as the dwell time). Audio and video port switching will continue indefinitely and no ports will be skipped, whether there are audio or video sources connected to them or not. If desired, the VEEMUX-A can be configured to skip the scanning of specif

NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH RS232 Control 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: A program must be used that will send an entire command line all at once, not character by character. (The HyperTerminal program in WINDOWS cannot be used, as it sends each character one at a time.) The

NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH Command Protocol CPU controller commands supported by the unit are defined below. All commands should be terminated with a (carriage return). When a command is sent, the entire string is echoed back to the CPU along with a response from the addressed unit as shown in the command definitions. All characters should be upper case, and all numbers below 10 should have a leading 0 (ex: 1 = 01). NOTE: For units with one output or user port, use 01 for the output s

NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH Web Interface A user may control the connections of the VEEMUX-A using a Web Interface via any web browser (see page 1 for web supported browsers). With the VEEMUX-A connected to a LAN through an Ethernet cable, a user can access the web interface controls inside the VEEMUX-A. FYI: To quickly locate a VEEMUX-A on the LAN and edit the IP address settings, use the Device Discovery Tool (page 24). To access the web interface, type the current IP address into the
