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

.
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

graphics (VGA/UXGA) signals with audio
