3.1About the VP-128H

The VP-128His a true 12x8 matrix switcher for VGA / XGA signals that lets you simultaneously route any or all of the 12 inputs to any or all of the 8 outputs. The high performance VP-128His rugged, easy to service1, and fits into one vertical space (1U) of a standard 19" rack. In particular, the VP-128Hincludes:

￿￿A very reliable modular design2 (without any internal adjustments3), with a detachable4 front panel that is fastened into the frame with two front panel hand operated slide action latches. The detached front panel can be used as a local control panel, by attaching it to the main electronics module within the VP-128Husing a 9-wire ribbon flat cable

￿￿12 input and eight output selector buttons

￿￿Video bandwidth of 315MHz that ensures transparent VGA / XGA performance

￿￿DC coupled inputs and outputs

￿￿Storing and recalling setup options

￿￿The ability to store 10 setups in the control system in Flash

￿￿A RGB delayed switching mode (with a user selectable delay increment of 500ms for each output ranging from 0 to 3.5 seconds) for any output through black for clean transitions when switching between non genlocked sources

￿￿A linear circuit path for the H and V channels, to cope with any

non-standard H and V sync levels

1 You can easily remove the front panel to access all the components from the front, without having to remove it from its rack 2 That has many advantages over competing systems that are not modular (for example, the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) using replacement modules would only take a few seconds, as opposed to hours for a non-modular design). All modules are secured with positive latches (slide latches or positive leverage long-handle ejector/inserter devices with built-in latching clasps). All plug-in modules are supported on all four sides. The rear panel is recessed 0.7 inches to protect the rear panel connectors from damage

3 Video gain is set by 0.1% resistors

4 Removing the front panel reveals the two major slide in components—the main switching module and the plug-in power supply unit—secured by latches￿to prevent accidental disconnection in mobile installations
