Your VP-128H Matrix Switcher

￿￿A passive two BNC sync loop - useful to ensure deterministic switching1

￿￿Two VP-128Hunits can be cascaded

Control the VP-128Hvia the front panel buttons, or remotely:

￿￿Via the 10 Base T network of RC-1616 panels2 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller

3.2About the RC-1616

The RC-1616Remote Control is ideal for sophisticated control from various locations via the 10 Base T network. You can connect up to 512 RC-1616Remote Control panels to one router: 256 XY panels and 256 single bus panels.

3.3 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

￿￿Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

￿￿Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position the VP-128H / RC-1616away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

4 Your VP-128H Matrix Switcher

The VP-128HMatrix Switcher can be used:

￿￿With the front panel and rear panel intact, see section 4￿ .1

￿￿Without the front panel (the front panel is blocked off), but with the rear panel intact, see section 4￿ .2

￿￿With the VP-128Hfront panel detached, which functions as a local control panel, see section 4￿ .3

4.1The VP-128H with the Front Panel and the Rear Panel Intact

Figure 1 and Table 1 and Table 2 define the front3 and rear panels of the VP-128HMatrix Switcher:

1 Connect video with sync to either BNC. If desired, use the second BNC to loop the signal to another device

2 Network control will allow more powerful panels to store in the panel setup and recall schemes that are tailored to the configuration of the panels controls. An entire router configuration can be sent to the router from the panel in under one millisecond

3 The same switch assemblies and metalwork that make up the front panel are used on the remote control panel. You can connect up to 512 remote control panels to one router: 256 XY panels and 256 single bus panels
