NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 1 INTRODUCTION The VEEMUX SM-8X4-HDA (VEEMUX-A) is a versatile multi-input au dio/vide o matrix switch that independently switches e ight sets of incoming YPbPr component video a nd analog/digital audio si gnals to any or all of the four outputs.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 2 FEA TURES AND FUNCTIONS 1. LCD Display- for visual indication of input-to-out put connections and for conf iguration of the VEEMUX-A. 2. Keypad- buttons for user control over s witch functions 3. IEC Power Connector- for attachment of power cord 4.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 3 INST ALLA TION Connect the Sources 1. Turn OFF power to all video sources (inputs) that will be connected to the VEEMU X-A before connecting or disconnecting any cables. 2. Connect each video source to the VEEMUX-A using 4CEXT-xx BNC cabl es.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 4 Figure 2- Stereo audio connection block Connect the Devices 1. Connect each of the vi deo display devices to the VEEMUX-A using 3CEXT-xx or 4CEXT-xx cables. The groups of terminals are labeled OUTPUT 1-4. Use BNC to RCA adapters (as shown in figure 3) to connect the BNC cables to the devices.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 5 Connect RS232 RS232 control can be achieved using a separate user terminal or CPU with a terminal program. To make a terminal connection, connect a seria l cable (specif ications on page 30) bet ween the us er terminal and the 9 pin DIN female connector on the VEEMUX-A labeled "RS232".
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 6 Power Up 1. Connect the IEC power cord to the VEEMUX-A and plug the cord into an AC p ower outlet. 2. Turn ON power to the VEEMUX-A us ing the switch abov e the IEC socket. 3. Turn ON power to the video and audio so urces, and the video and audio devices conn ected to the VEEMUX-A, if they are not already ON.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 7 CONTROL OPTIONS The VEEMUX-A video matrix switch has four methods of control: • F ront Panel LCD with Keypad • Directl y via an RS232 Interface • Remote ly via Ethernet (web interface) • Infrared Rem ote (optional).
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 8 Volume Control The volume level can be adjuste d on each output port. • To increment < ▲ > or decrement < ▼ > the volume, use the follo wing comma.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 9 Scan Mode Scan Mode causes output ports (audio and video) to a utomati cally switch from one audio and video in put port to the next consecutive audio and vid eo input port after a specified peri od of time (referred to as the dwell time).
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 10 RS232 Control Remote Connection The RS232 Interface is designed to control the s witch via serial (RS232) daisy ch ain connection from any host computer or oth er controller with an RS232 communicatio ns port.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 11 Command Protocol CPU controller commands supported b y the unit are defined belo w. All commands should be terminated with a <CR> (carriage return). When a command is sent, the entire string is echoed back to the CPU alon g with a response from the addressed unit as shown in the command definitio ns.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 12 Set Volume Level For Output/User Port (for command string AV SW,OP,VV in chart on page 11) This command will set the volume of the specified AUDIO output/user p ort from a scale of 00 to 99, which represents a logarithm ic volume.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 13 Matrix Operations Key Selection Description 1) Connect Video Output/User to an Input/CPU - connect an output to an input 2) Connect All Video Outputs/Users to an I.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 14 Telnet Interface The Telnet Interface enables the user to control the s witch using telnet client thro ugh an Ethernet connection. T he telnet ser ver listens on port 2000 . To access the telnet interface, using the curr ent IP address t ype the following in a command shell: telnet 192.

NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 16 Web Interface A user may control the connections of t he VEEMUX-A using a Web Interface via any web browser (see page 1 for web supported browsers). With the VEEMUX-A connected to a LAN through an Ethernet cable, a user can access the web interface controls inside the VEEMUX-A.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 17 Video Switch Page The Video Switch page (right) displ ays the active connections (shown in orang e) and enables the user to control the audio and video connectio ns of the VEEMUX-A, or just the video. (To change audio connections separately, see pag e 18.
NTI AUDIO/HD VI DEO MATRIX SWITCH 18 To load a sav ed configuration , from the Stored Configuratio ns user interface, use the drop-down list to select the desired configuration. T hen press the Load button. The VEEMUX-A w i ll make th e connections and the screen will refresh to show the connections associat e d with that configuration selection.
