Page 5: Introduction
NTI AUDIO/HD VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH INTRODUCTION The VEEMUX SM-8X4-HDA (VEEMUX-A) is a versatile multi-input audio/video matrix switch that independently switches eight sets of incoming YPbPr component video and analog/digital audio signals to any or all of the four outputs. Each input and output has YPbPr component video, L/R analog audio (balanced/unbalanced), and digital audio on coax (S/PDIF). -
