Introduction Introduction The SM-nXm-AV-LCD Audio/Video Matrix switch (VEEMUX-A) allows up to 32 audio/video sources (n) to be connected to up to 16 destinations (m). Different destinations can even be connected to the same source. Video resolution up to 1920x1200@85Hz is supported with no degradation – guaranteed. Stereo audio is supported, as well as volume control and separate audio/video switching.
The infrared option is purchased separately, allowing for maximum user satisfaction in each unique configuration. The VEEMUX-A Audio/Video Matrix switch is built to a specific size ranging from 8 to 32 inputs and 2, 4, 8, 12, or 16 outputs.
Features and Functions LCD Display- for visual indication of connection between the user and a specific CPU. Keypad- buttons for user control over switch functions Audio IN- for connection of audio cables from audio sources Audio OUT- for connection of audio cables to audio output devices (speakers)
Installation Installation Turn OFF power to all video sources (inputs) that will be connected to the VEEMUX-A before connecting or disconnecting any cables. For each video source, connect a VEXT-xx-MM cable from the video port of the source to a video input (VIDEO-1) of the VEEMUX-A (see Fig.
Control Options The VEEMUX-A Audio/Video Matrix Switch has three methods of control: Front Panel Keypad, RS232, or Infrared. Every unit comes standard with the Front Panel Keypad and RS232 built-in. If desired, the Infrared option must be requested at the time of the order.
Front Panel Keypad Control The front panel keypad and LCD (drawing below) allow the user to view and change current audio and video connections, adjust audio volume and configure the RS-232 control interface. The keypad buttons perform the following functions. Escape back to the main display.
Ex: <MENU> 1 4 This will select 9600 baud • To set the switch address, use the following instruction: <MENU>, the <2> key, Double digit address (from 01 to 15) Ex: <MENU> 2 03 This will set the address at 03...
RS232 Control Remote Connection The RS232 Interface is designed to control the switch via serial (RS232) daisy chain connection from any host computer or other controller with an RS232 communications port. There is, however, a restriction that must be followed: A program must be used that will send an entire command line all at once, not character by character.
NOTE: For units with one output or user port, use 01 for the output select. RS-232 Command Protocol Quick Reference Legend: (All numbers must be two digits) Switch (01-15) Baud Rate Code (12,24,48,96) Volume Level (00-99, XX=UNSUPPORTED) Mute State (00=UNMUTE, 01=MUTE, XX=UNSUPPORTED)
Syntax or Transmission Error: ?<CR> Behavior: Returns the NTI version string for this switch. Generally contains code date and matrix size information in some form. Can be useful for determining the model of NTI switch being communicated with. RU - Read Unit Size Format: RU SW<CR>...

RS232 Interface Test Program This software allows a user to test the functions of an NTI server switch, matrix switch or Multi-user/Multi-platform switch RS232 interface. The executable file SERTEST.EXE runs the program and generates a main menu with the 3 selections described...
- the current baud rate is displayed in parentheses set unit Address current: (1) - select the unit address of the switch to be connected to by this program - the current address is displayed in parentheses For any selection that requires user input, the user is prompted. When commands are sent to the matrix unit, the command string and matrix unit responses are echoed to the screen.
Replace slide cover on unit. Specifications • 50 feet maximum operating range between the transmitter and the front of the matrix switch / infrared receiver. (Line of sight required.) • Select up to 16 outputs by depressing the touch activated buttons labeled output.
A monitor with DDC support must be connected to MONITOR 1 for this to occur. The DDC information will be made available at every CPU port. The DDC information can also be acquired by pressing the DDC button located on the front of the switch. This button allows the monitor configuration to be changed without powering down the switch.
This NTI switch was designed to be directly mounted to a rack. It includes a mounting flange to make attachment easy. Install 4 captive nuts to the rack in locations that line up with the holes (or slots) in the mounting flange on the NTI switch.
