Page 8: Installation
NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH INSTALLATION Connect the Sources and Monitors Turn OFF power to all video sources (inputs) that will be connected to the VEEMUX before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Connect a VEXT-xx-MM cable from the video port of a video source to a 15HD female video connector labeled VIDEO 1 on the VEEMUX. -
Page 9: Connect Rs232
NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH Connect RS232 RS232 control can be achieved using a separate user terminal or CPU with a terminal program. To make a terminal connection, connect a serial cable (specifications on page 31) between the user terminal and the 9 pin DIN female connector on the VEEMUX labeled "RS232". -
Page 10: Power Up
NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH Power Up Plug the VEEMUX into an AC power outlet. Turn ON power to the VEEMUX. Turn ON power to the video sources and monitors connected to the VEEMUX. LED MATRIX (not available on all models) The LED Matrix is a grid of LEDs on the front panel of the VEEMUX. -
Page 11: Control Options
NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH CONTROL OPTIONS The VEEMUX video matrix switch has four methods of control: • Front Panel LCD with Keypad • Directly via an RS232 Interface • Remotely via Ethernet (rack mount models only) • Infrared Remote (optional).

Page 12: Scan Mode
NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH Scan Mode Scan Mode causes an output port to automatically switch from one input port to the next consecutive input port after a specified period of time (referred to as the dwell time). Port switching will continue indefinitely and no ports will be skipped, whether there are video sources connected to them or not. -
Page 13: Baud Rate
NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH On the DB-9 female connector, pins 4 (DSR) and 6 (DTR) are shorted and pins 7 (CTS) and 8 (RTS) are shorted. Therefore, host handshaking is bypassed and TXD and RXD are the only active signals. A straight through DB-9 cable (not null modem) will work for most CPUs. -
