Control Capability
Source Control
Loop-through connections are provided on the VN-MATRIX for the source computer keyboard and
mouse. Local keyboard and mouse control of the source computer is fully maintained while connected
to the VN-MATRIX. In addition, keyboard and mouse functions can be remotely controlled from the
viewing station.
System Setup & Configuration
Low level communications setup of the VN-MATRIX is achieved using a serial data link to the COM1
port. High level configuration is achieved via the network using the Integrated Web Management
System (see below).
Integrated Web Management System
VN-MATRIX incorporates an Integrated Web Management System (Web Interface for short). This
allows any VN-MATRIX unit on a network to be configured via a PC/laptop (on the same network),
using a standard web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera).
One VN-MATRIX unit on the network must be designated as a ‘controller’. This unit acts as a server
for the Web Interface and also holds a database of all VN-MATRIX devices on the network.
Any VN-MATRIX unit, whether it is configured as an encoder or decoder, can be used as a controller.
The Web Interface includes a full on-line help system.
Remote Control
RS-232 serial data can be routed between selected VN-MATRIX units, for example to provide remote
control of a source.
In addition, serial commands can be input to a VN-MATRIX and routed to the controller to allow basic
control of system operation, e.g. to change source selection on displays, compression settings, or
enabling and disabling devices.
