Introduction
Overview
This ATEN Modular Matrix Solution Series is comprised of the VM3200
Modular Matrix Switch; and/or the VM7404 4-Port 3G-SDI Input Board,
VM7514 / VM8514 4-Port HDBaseT Input/Output Board, VM7804 / VM8804
4-Port HDMI Input / Output Board, VM7604 / VM8604 4-Port DVI Input /
Output Board, VM7104 4-Port VGA Input Board and VE805R HDMI
HDBaseT Lite Receiver with Scaler.
The VM3200 Modular Matrix Switch offers advanced access and real-time
control of multiple local and remote A/V input devices and displays from a
single chassis. Operators can work from 4 x 4 up to 32 x 32 inputs and outputs
simultaneously, as well as incorporate multiple digital video formats within the
setup. It uses TMDS technology to support high speed data transfer at 1080p /
1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz / 4K x 2K @ 30Hz (4:4:4).
The VM7404 is a 4-Port 3G-SDI input board provides the capability to connect
to SDI sources, such as 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI, and supports high
quality video resolutions up to 1080p @ 60Hz. The VM7404 also supports
separate analog stereo audio signals for independent routing.
The VM7514 / VM8514 4-Port HDBaseT Input/Output Boards offers an easy
way to route any of 4 HDBaseT audio/video sources to any of 4 HDBaseT
display devices, in combination with the ATEN Modular Matrix Switch. When
the VM8514 HDBaseT Output Board is used in conjunction with the VE805R
HDBaseT Extender it features Seamless Switch technology and video wall
functionality.
The VM7804 / VM8804 4-Port HDMI Input / Output Board is a hot-swappable
I/O board that offers an easy way to route any of 4 audio/video sources to any
of 4 displays and installs in the Modular Matrix Switch. The VM8804 supports
Seamless Switch technology that provides video switching in real-time, a built
in scaler that handles different video resolutions, and EDID Expert technology
for fast smooth switching between displays. The VM7804 / VM8804 also
supports separate stereo audio signals that can be routed independently and
extracted from embedded HDMI audio signals.
The VM7604 / VM8604 4-Port DVI Input / Output Board is a hot-swappable
I/O board that offers an easy way to route any of 4 audio/video sources to any
of 4 displays and installs in the Modular Matrix Switch. The VM8604 supports

Seamless Switch technology that provides video switching in real-time, a built
in scaler that handles different video resolutions and EDID Expert technology
for fast smooth switching between displays.
The VM7104 4-Port VGA Input Board offers an easy way to route 4 VGA
video and audio sources to 4 displays and speakers. In addition, the VM7104
can be mixed with any modular output boards on the VM3200 for optimum
flexibility.
The VE805R HDMI HDBaseT Lite Receiver with Scaler can be combined
with an ATEN HDMI HDBaseT transmitter or splitter to extend your HDMI
display up to 70 m from the source using a single Cat 6a cable (or up to 60 m
when using a single Cat 5e cable). With a built-in scaler, the VE805R supports
the scaling of different video resolutions. When combined with ATEN
HDBaseT output boards, it supports video wall functionality. In addition, the
VE805R is equipped with RS232 and IR signaling pass-through which allows
RS232 and IR channel control from the remote to local unit, to control the
HDMI source, or from the local to remote unit, to control the display device.
The VE805R is HDCP compliant.
Combining these devices, this solution can be conveniently customized,
allowing users to independently switch and route video and/or audio signals to
various monitors, displays, projectors and/or speakers simply by pressing front
panel pushbuttons. The VM3200’s built-in Scaler encodes video formats in
order to provide seamless, real-time switching while ensuring stable signal
transmission. In addition, the front panel LCD shows a quick view of active
port connections, and includes an option to select an EDID Mode that yields
the best resolution across different monitors.
The VM3200 is easily expandable and accommodates ATEN’s hot-swappable
I/O boards. Equipped with automatic signal conversion, it allows a
combination of digital video formats, thus making it ideal for large-scale A/V
applications.
Setup is fast and easy; install the modular I/O boards by sliding them into the
VM3200’s rear panel slots, then plug the device cables into the appropriate
ports on the I/O boards and your ready.
This solution can be connected to the network through the VM3200’s LAN
port, allowing the installation to take advantage of internal Cat 5 Ethernet
wiring built into most modern commercial buildings. Once initial network
setup has been accomplished at the local level, the VM3200 can be
conveniently managed remotely using any web browser. Furthermore, for
complete systems integration, the VM3200’s built-in RS-232 and RS-485/RS-

422 ports allows the switch to be configured through a high-end controller or
PC.
The ATEN Modular Matrix Solution Series is a powerful integrated A/V setup
targeted towards broadcasting stations, traffic and transportation-related
control rooms, emergency service centers and any application that requires
customizable high speed A/V signal routing.
