VX8000-MB, VX8000-HB - 30MHz and 200MHz modular video / audio routing switchers

Features:

• Expandable to 256x128
• Audio and Video matrices linkable
• 30MHz video bandwidth (VX8000-MB) or 200MHz video bandwidth (VX8000-HB)
• Simple RS232 protocol
• Battery-backed

Applications:

• Broadcast
• Distance Learning
• Media Retrieval
• Stadiums
• Theme Parks
• Sports Bars
• Restaurants

The new VX8000-MB (Medium Bandwidth) and VX8000-HB (High Bandwidth) are modular routing switchers expandable to a 256 x 128 audio or video matrix in a 9U rackframe. The MB is suitable for routing composite, Y/C and high-definition YUV video, while the HB adds RGBHV capability. The matrices may be linked for full audio-follows-video routing. Audio may also be routed independently. The audio and video matrices do not need to be the same size.

Matrix configurations are assembled in multiples of sixteen. Insertion cards are plugged into a 9U rackframe via a hinged front panel.

The crosspoint matrix is controlled by a simple yet versatile RS232 protocol. Control options include computer, front panel keypad, remote keypad or all three.
