NTI VEEMUX AUDIO VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH VIA CAT5
14
OPERATING THE VEEMUX
The VEEMUX video matrix switch has four methods of control:
•
Front Panel LCD with Keypad
•
Directly via an RS232 Interface
•
Remotely via Ethernet
•
Infrared Remote (optional).
Every unit comes standard with all control methods built-in. An IRT-UNV-IR Remote Control is required (purchased separately)
to use the Infrared option. No software is involved (see Infrared Control on page
49
). With the RS232 option, there are no
external devices to be purchased. NTI provides software commands as well as a test program to ensure the RS232 functions
properly (see page
23
– RS232 Control).
Front Panel LCD with Keypad Control
The front panel LCD and keypad allow the user to monitor switch status and route any user to any video source on the switch.
When the unit is first powered-up, each monitor is automatically connected to the video source of its equal number (i.e. monitor 1
to source 1, monitor 2 to source 2, monitor 3 to source 3, etc.). (After configurations have been saved (page
36
), upon power-up
the VEEMUX will load the configuration saved into memory location 0.) Along with the routing of the inputs (video sources) to the
outputs (monitors) the keypad and LCD allow the users to configure the RS232 control interface. The keypad buttons perform the
following functions:
