VM1 Video Matrix
The VM1 Video Matrix distributes component video
signals in resolutions up to 1080p from four or eight
sources to up to eight zones at distances of 300'.
Send your Satellite TV signal to the master bedroom,
the den, or both. Upconvert the VCR signal from the
living room and watch it on your projection screen in
the home theater. Russound's Video Matrix makes it easy.
The VM1 mirrors source selections made by
Russound CAV6.6, CAM6.6 and CAA66 multiroom
audio systems to provide a transparent audio / video
selection process with no latency. When you choose
the DVD as a source from your keypad or remote
control you get both the picture and sound at once.
The Video Matrix selects video sources (Satellite,
DVD, etc.) for specific zones through commands
from a distributed audio system. This allows the
Video Matrix to distribute component video signals
while audio signals are transmitted through the
multiroom audio system. Active video circuitry
prevents signal loss and interference, enabling
longer cable runs – making it a real-world solution.
Optional for the VM1 is a format upconverter for
converting composite and S-video signals to
component video. Four-zone, four-source models
offer up-conversion for two sources, while
eight-zone, eight-source models offer
up-conversion for as many as four sources.
