Devices Page Overview
The VN-Matrix EC 200 is the center of an audio and video streaming network that connects
and controls VN-Matrix hardware encoders, decoders, recorders, and software decoders.
The controller provides support for third party system control using the HLI protocol.
The following VN-Matrix devices are discussed in this section:
Device Description
VNM 2xx Series DVI, HDMI, and RGB encoders, decoders and codecs
VNM 3xx Series 3G-SDI codecs
VNR 100 Single channel recorder/player
VNM Recorder Five-channel recorder/player
VNS 104 Multi-stream software decoder
To use the devices in a VN-Matrix system, the EC 200 is required. The devices are added
to the system, then configured for control from the EC. The controller connects the devices
together in smaller systems to support specific operations and tasks using the Preset
Manager (see
Preset Manager on page 95).
Devices Page Features
The Devices page lists all VN-Matrix devices detected on the network and is the main
page for configuring and managing devices. It is also the default page upon logging in (see
figure 27).
