Russound VM1 Video Matrix Datasheet

Data Sheet
VM1 Video Matrix
HD Component Video Distribution System
The VM1 Video Matrix works with a multiroom audio
system to distribute analog component video over a
single CAT-5e cable to each zone. Capable of passing
high-defi nition component video signals up to 1080p,
it also provides conversion of composite and S-video
signals to component video in some confi gurations.
Designed for use with Russound RNET
solutions, the VM1 provides seamless integration
with the Russound CAM and CAV systems. The VM1
also links directly to the Russound CAA system and
works with other systems through serial control.
The Video Matrix is available in fi ve confi gurations:
VM1 4 – Provides basic 4x4 switching from analog
component video sources only.
VM1 4UC – Provides 4x4 component video switching
with upconversion for two sources.
VM1 8 – Provides basic 8x8 switching from analog
component video sources only.
VM1 8UC – Provides 8x8 component video switching
with upconversion for two sources.
VM1 8UC2 – Provides 8x8 component video
switching with upconversion for four sources.
The 4x4 confi gurations provide four source inputs
and four zone outputs. The 8x8 confi gurations
provide eight source inputs and eight zone outputs.
The UC and UC2 confi gurations convert S-video and
®
multiroom
composite video signals to component video for
distribution while maintaining the original source
resolution. The benefi t is that the user doesn't have
to select a composite or S-video input on the display
to view the sources.
The VM1 has a rack-mountable 2U chassis and
includes rack ears and a 24 VDC power supply.
VMR1 Receiver
The VMR1 Receiver is a single-gang in-wall device
that installs in each room where component video
distribution is desired. It receives the video signal
from the VM1 through a single CAT-5e cable and
provides component video RCA jacks for connection
to the display with a component video cable.
