TZM883V 8x8 GRAPHIC MATRIX
1.0 OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing this product. Check the contents of the packaging
carefully. It contains:
- The TZM883V unit
- The power cord The IR remote control
(To be ordered separately)
- The instructions handbook
and certificate of conformity
The TZM883V is an 8X8 matrix for GRAPHIC signals from PC. It is possible
to also connect YCbCr/YPbPr component video signals on the three RGB
color components of the receptacle connector. The possibility of programming
output 8 as preview promotes extremely versatile use of the matrix in certain
multi-media applications. The possibility of saving and recalling 8
configurations via the keypad, serial line, Ethernet or IR remote control makes
the TZM883V highly versatile in presentation environments.
The TZM883V performs through blank switching. The switching time is user-
selectable to adapt more precisely to the characteristics of the destination.
This solution makes it possible to avoid the typical annoying effects of LCD
devices when a signal is switched at their input.
