3.1 About the VP-128H
The VP-128H is a true 12x8 matrix switcher for VGA / XGA signals that lets
you simultaneously route any or all of the 12 inputs to any or all of the 8
outputs. The high performance VP-128H is rugged, easy to service

, and fits
into one vertical space (1U) of a standard 19" rack. In particular, the
VP-128H includes:
 A very reliable modular design

(without any internal adjustments

), with
a detachable

front panel that is fastened into the frame with two front panel
hand operated slide action latches. The detached front panel can be used as a
local control panel, by attaching it to the main electronics module within the
VP-128H using a 9-wire ribbon flat cable
 12 input and eight output selector buttons
 Video bandwidth of 315MHz that ensures transparent VGA / XGA
performance
 DC coupled inputs and outputs
 Storing and recalling setup options
 The ability to store 10 setups in the control system in Flash
 A RGB delayed switching mode (with a user selectable delay increment
of 500ms for each output ranging from 0 to 3.5 seconds) for any output
through black for clean transitions when switching between non genlocked
sources
 A linear circuit path for the H and V channels, to cope with any
non-standard H and V sync levels
1 You can easily remove the front panel to access all the components from the front, without having to remove it from its rack
2 That has many advantages over competing systems that are not modular (for example, the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
using replacement modules would only take a few seconds, as opposed to hours for a non-modular design). All modules are
secured with positive latches (slide latches or positive leverage long-handle ejector/inserter devices with built-in latching
clasps). All plug-in modules are supported on all four sides. The rear panel is recessed 0.7 inches to protect the rear panel
connectors from damage
3 Video gain is set by 0.1% resistors
4 Removing the front panel reveals the two major slide in components—the main switching module and the plug-in power
supply unit—secured by latchesto prevent accidental disconnection in mobile installations
