NTI VEEMUX VIDEO MATRIX SWITCH
1
INTRODUCTION
The SM-nXm-15V-LCD (n = number of inputs (video sources), m = number of outputs (monitors)) video matrix switch (VEEMUX)
allows any of up to 32 video sources to output to any or all of up to sixteen (16) monitors. The configuration of the VEEMUX is
determined at time of order (i.e. 16x4, 8x16, etc.). The bandwidth of the SM-nXm-15V-LCD is 200MHz and video resolutions
through 1900 x1200 are supported with no degradation. The switch can be controlled with the Front Panel Keypad, RS232
interface, Ethernet, or an optional Infrared Remote.
The VEEMUX can be ordered in many sizes and with several control options. The base unit includes a user keypad, an RS232
port, and an Ethernet port to make up a complete system. The infrared option, purchased separately, allows for maximum user
satisfaction in each unique configuration.
Basic Operation
The VEEMUX allows any source to be connected to any destination at any time with no restrictions or limitations.
Video inputs accept any RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB signal.
Video outputs are compatible with any RGBHV or RGBS monitor, regardless of input. (RGsB monitor requires
RGsB input)
Supported Web Browsers
Most modern web browsers should be supported. The following browsers have been tested:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
Netscape 7.0 or higher
Mozilla FireFox 0.9.2 or higher
Set your browser to always check if there is a newer version of the page than the version stored in cache. This action will ensure
that it will display the most up-to-date information.
Compatibilty
The SM-nXm-15V-LCD is made to support video inputs from VGA (15HD – H & V Sync) only.
Ordering Information
The SM-nXm-15V-LCD is built to a specific size ranging from 2, 4, 8, 12, or 16 monitors and 4 to 32 video sources. The “n” in the
part number represents the number of video sources. Select a switch built for 4, 8, 16, or 32 video sources. The “m” in the part
number represents the number of outputs (monitors). A switch built for 2, 4, 8, 12, or 16 monitors may be ordered. It is not
necessary to fully populate all of the connectors on the unit (ex. an SM-16x8 switch has the capability of supporting 16 video
sources and 8 monitors, but it will operate with only 14 video sources with 7 monitors connected.

Options
DDC Support (see page 28)
This feature makes the DDC information of the monitor connected to port 1 available to each CPU.
This feature is ordered by adding a "D" following the size designation in the model number (i.e. SM-8X2D-15V-LCD)
Infrared Control (see page 23)
This feature adds the ability to control the VEEMUX via an infrared remote.
This feature is ordered by adding the suffix "-IR" to the model number when ordering (i.e. SM-4X2-15V-LCD-IR)
