INTRODUCTION
1
Atlona Technologies’ AT-AV0808N is a true Matrix Switcher with Composite Video and Stereo
Audio. This unit is equipped with 8 individual AV inputs and 8 individual AV outputs. Because it is
a matrix switch, any input can route to any output; and the same input can route to all outputs or
any other combination. The AT-AV0808N is applicable for connecting sources including: (VCRs,
Camcorders, Video Game Consoles, DVDs, Satellite Receivers, Set Top Boxes, etc.) to desired
displays such as: (HDTV, LCDs, Plasma Monitors, Video Projectors, etc.) Selection of inputs can
be achieved manually through the Front Panel, an Infrared Remote Control or RS232 control.

Atlona matrix switcher can be controlled via RS-232 serial control port to allow control of this unit via PC
or control panel. Serial communication parameters are 9600 baud, 8 bit, No Parity and 1 stop bit - this is
often referred to as 9600 8N1.

iter character required. The unit does not send out a message when a value is changed from the front
panel or by IR control. If the unit needs to be controlled via the front panel in addition to the RS232
