IV is a video matrix switching system. The master switcher chassis of the Digiplex IV system provides 64 video inputs and 32 monitor outputs. The Digiplex IV system expands from 64 inputs x 32 outputs to more than 512 inputs x 64 outputs by adding expansion cards and expansion chassis. (For systems larger than 512 x 64, contact your GE Interlogix sales representative.) Video is brought into the master and slave...

EMORY ANAGEMENT CAUTION: Before clearing the memory, back up your system’s programming with the KTD-411 Digiplex IV Matrix Switcher Programming Software. Clearing the memory deletes your user-defined settings from the switcher’s nonvolatile memory and reloads the factory defaults. Note: To receive context-sensitive help at any point during the programming, press the alarm key.
