• Theme Parks
• Sports Bars
• Restaurants

The VX8000-256MB (Medium Bandwidth) and VX8000-256HB (High Bandwidth) matrix switchers expand the range of the highly-successful VX-8000 range and have the largest input-output capacity of all Vortex switchers. Expandable from 32x32 up to 256x256 with high-performance broadcast specs, VX8000-256 switchers can handle the needs of almost any application: the MB is suitable for routing composite, Y/C and high-definition YUV video, while the HB adds RGBHV capability.

Matrix configurations are assembled in multiples of thirty-two by inserting audio or video cards into a 12U rackframe via the hinged front panel. Audio and video frames are linked together via serial cable to achieve full audio-follows-video routing; audio can also be routed separately. All current and stored patterns are backed up in non-volatile memory. The internal mil-spec power supply is 110V/230V auto-sensing; a redundant power supply is optional.

The matrix is controlled via front panel controller or RS232. Several command options such as SALVO, batch, and event control are offered. Other control options include computer, remote keypad, third party controllers or all three.
