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 device (Infrared transmitter) as well as an Infrared receiver to be installed in the VEEMUX-A. No software is involved (see Infrared Control on page 25). With the RS232 option, there are no external devices to be purchased. NTI provides software commands as well as a test program to ensure the RS232 functions properly (see page 10 – RS232 Control).

Front Panel LCD with Keypad Control

The front panel LCD and keypad allow the user to monitor switch status and route any display to any video source on the switch. When the unit is powered up, each monitor is automatically connected to the video source of its equal number (i.e. monitor 1 to source 1, monitor 2 to source 2, monitor 3 to source 3, etc.). Along with the routing of the inputs (video sources) to the outputs (monitors) the keypad and LCD allow the users to configure the RS-232 control interface. The keypad buttons perform the following functions.
