Introduction
This AT-VGA0505 receives and amplies up to 5 VGA inputs, perfectly switches
the desired input to a VGA equipped monitor or receiver. This matrix enables the
broadcast of multiple computers’ audio and video outputs to multiple displays.
Any one of the inputs can be broadcasted to any or all of the outputs without
introducing noticeable video quality distortion.
The matrix switcher supports VGA video bandwidth up to 450MHz ( resolution
up to 1920x1200 @60Hz ) and also supports YPbPr component, S-Video, and
Composite signals. The re-transmitted video quality is guaranteed to have minimal
lose and the longest transmission is up to 65 meters 210 feet. This unit can easily
be controlled thought IR remote, RS232 or front panel push buttons.

Scan: This button will trigger the automatic search over all the available COM ports
(1-255). If the matrix is detected, a message window below will show up.
Otherwise, an error message below shows up to indicate there is no legal device
found. Notice that successful connection is only established if there is at least one
available COM port.

Open: Open the COM port after scan to establish the
connection between PC and the matrix..
Close: Release the COM port after scan.
Quick Setup Buttons: Provide fast setup between inputs and outputs of the matrix.
“Default” button makes input 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mapped to output 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively.
“Channel 1” makes all outputs see input1. The same applies to the rest of the buttons.
Output Channel Setup: Click on this button, a quick selection table of inputs will show
up. Users can then easily select the input video for each output.
Input Channel Setup: The button will bring up the setup window for the inputs as below.
