3.1 About the VP-23RC

The VP-23RC is a high quality all-in-one Presentation Switcher and Media/Room

Controller, which lets you control A/V equipment and room items such as window

blinds, room lights, and a projector lift. The VP-23RC includes two major

sections: the Presentation Switcher section and the Media/Room Controller

section, each of which can be operated independently, or in tandem.

3.1.1 Understanding the Presentation Switcher Section

The Presentation Switcher section includes three independent 4x1 audio/video

switchers

, and a master audio switcher

The VP-23RC Presentation Switcher section features:

 Three sets of four selector buttons (for composite video and audio, s-Video

and audio, and VGA/UXGA and audio), and four master audio selector

buttons (CV, s-Video, VGA/UXGA and Mic). Each of these 16 selector

buttons lets you select the inputs to switch to the outputs and can be

configured

to carry out a sequence of up to 15 commands (a macro) so

that when pressing a configured button, the switching action is followed

by a macro sequence

 VGA/UXGA video bandwidth of 350MHz to ensure transparent

performance even in the most critical applications, and is HDTV compatible

 Composite/SDI video bandwidth of 650MHz, an s-Video bandwidth of

385MHz, and a CAT 5 bandwidth of 158MHz

1 A 4x1 switcher for co mposite video and audio, a 4x1 switcher for s-Vid eo and audio, and a 4x1 switcher for computer

graphics (VGA/UXGA) signals with audio
