The VX8500 Series vertical interval routing switchers are high-performance audio/video units in thin profile 3RU rackmount chassis. They are configured for 16, 12, 8, or 4 sources to either 1 or 2 destinations.

The routers are active switchers that accept and route almost any 1 volt NTSC/PAL, RGB, RGBS, RGBHV video source including off-the-air and non-timebase corrected signals.

The VX8500 series accepts and routes mono or stereo unbalanced audio up to 2 volts p-p. Video and audio sources can be routed independently; they need not have the same destinations.

Easy manual operation from front panel push-buttons or routing commands can be sent from a computer via RS232 interface.

…. Also available in 5-channel version for RGBHV and VGA routing.
