5.3 Video matrix Eneo EKR-32/8

5.3.1 Description

Matrix EKR-32/8 is a product for professional use in applications for security and surveillance and dedicated to the management of video signals. It can be used to control 32 input videos; there are eight video outputs, one of which can be managed directly by a VCR. It is used to control the usual switching and alarm management operations.

As well as the usual switching, alarm management and on screen menu programming operations, the EKR-32/8 matrix is equipped with an optional auxiliary line that can be used to control the telemetry or multiplexer units. Refer to the matrix manual for further information on this subject.
