8-in V-MATRIX™ Video Input Card
The VM2143VS is an 8-In Video Input Card
designed for use in a V-Matrix™ System and can
handle a wide array of signal formats. The
VM2143VS can be used for video signals including
Composite Video, S-Video, Component Video,
RGsB, RGBS and RGBHV. Easily accessible
jumpers allow the user to select AC or DC
Couplings, as well as, High or Low input impedance
for each of the 8 individual inputs.
The 8-Input Video Cards provide built-in ground
loop isolation (GLI on Board™) through the use of
differential inputs. This is an extremely important
feature because it protects against hum bars and
other interference caused by ground loops, which
notoriously wreak havoc on large-scale matrix
systems. Both the input and output video cards
provide a bandwidth of 450 MHz @ –3dB, allowing
them to pass extremely high-resolution computer
video signals without signal degradation.
VM2143VS cards are “hot-swappable” with finger
adjustable lock-down screws and secure, positive
engagement card-edge connections into the
V-Matrix™ Enclosure.
