1. General 

 
The NTW-VD3232 is a 32x32 serial digital video router with vertical interval switching. This state of the art router provides 
maximum quality with a data rate of up to 540 Mbit/s and automatic cable equalising on all inputs. High performance circuits 
in SMD technology assure undiminished signal quality. The NTW-VD3232 is well suited for all demanding routing tasks in 
digital studio and broadcast environments. The built-in RS-232 interface allows the user to control the router via the i-
Control PC software with many operational features. The control bus technology allows linking the unit with the NTW-
A3232 or NTW-AD3232 to create an AFV router. One or several NTW-32-ProX-Y remote control panels can control the 
NTW-VD3232 as well. Another unique feature of the Network 32x32 series is the possibility to reconfigure the router via the 
configuration switch on the back plane to create several formats of routers: 
 

32x32   

Serial Digital Video 1 layer 

16x16   

Serial Digital Video 2 layer 

10x10   

Serial Digital Video 3 layer 

  8x8 

 

Serial Digital Video 4 layer
