HELPFUL HINT
Input gain control is provided to normalize input signals that have differing line level voltages. This eliminates the potential volume variances that can occur during switching, particularly when combining professional and consumer audio devices in the same system.

OVERVIEW
Robust composite video with stereo matrix switchers that feature audio input gain and output volume control.

COMMON APPLICATION
Routing of multiple VCRs or analog cameras with audio to various displays.

FEATURES

  • Ultra-flat video bandpass curve measured at a tight ±3 dB
  • Digital volume control on each output
  • Digital input gain control on each input to normalize audio input voltages
  • Audio connections support balanced and unbalanced audio
  • Audio breakaway to route audio-follow-video, video or audio alone
  • Superior video crosstalk specifications ensure signal isolation and security
  • Standard RS-232 control port
  • Supports AutoPatch's simple BCS serial control protocol
  • Optional TCP/IP control via APWeb
  • Includes intuitive CP-15 front mounted control panel featuring LED backlit LCD and blue light buttons, allowing quick and easy access to execute many commands including status, change, disconnect, local presets, global presets, front panel lock and unlock, input gain, output volume, mute, level commands and more
  • Front panel security lockout
  • Ships with free APControl to provide easy single-user PC control of the matrix switcher
  • Rack mounting ears included
  • Backed by our AMX 3 year warranty
  • Local presets allow quick recall of a pre-programmed set of switches with a single command; multiple presets can exist within a system at the same time
  • Global presets allow quick recall of a comprehensive snapshot of all switches and digital volume controls
