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.

RS-232
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.
When the unit recognises a complete command it will perform the requested action - there is no delim-
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
