Vm1 Configuration Tool - Russound VM1 Video Matrix Installation Manual

VM1 CONFIGURATION TOOL SOFTWARE
Overview
The VM1 Video Matrix Configuration Tool Software allows you to assign VM1
inputs to specific system sources and VM1 outputs to specific system zones.
This free download is available through Russound's Document Center under
Video Distribution.
Requirements
This software requires VM1 Version 2.00.00 Firmware or higher to work. The
latest firmware version with update instructions is posted on Russound's
Document Center.
Configuration Tool Summary
The following information corresponds to the fields available from the
configuration software main screen.
COM Port Selection:
This selection determines what COM port the PC will be using for
communication to the VM1 (can be configured through USB or serial port).
VM1 Model:
The VM1 model selection determines how many video matrix inputs and
outputs can be configured.
Controller Model:
The Controller model selection determines how many audio sources there
can be and how many zones are on each controller.
VM1 Input Assignment:
Each source of the audio system is represented on the left side while a
corresponding combo box is located to its right for selecting the input on the
VM1 to be associated with that audio source.
Select what input on the VM1 is assigned to what source on the audio
controller. This allows a VM1-4 four source four zone video matrix to support
video for any four system source inputs, not just 1-4. This also resolves
situations where a particular source is not for video as with the CAM6.6T which
has an AM/FM tuner for source #1. Additionally, multiple sources on the audio
system can be assigned to the same video input on the VM1, if they share a
common video signal (e.g., SMS3).
Controller and Zone Output Assignment:
Assign each output on the VM1 to correspond with particular audio controller
8
zones for source selection changes. This allows flexibility for using the VM1
with sources/zones that have different video distribution requirements. This
even allows multiple VM1 outputs to be assigned to the same zone of the
audio controller when there are multiple displays in one audio zone.
Factory Init:
This sets the VM1 back to the factory default settings based on the VM1
model selected.
Send Configuration to VM1:
This performs the write function to the VM1 to load configuration settings.
