INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR THE 2-PORT TTL VIDEO ONLY SWITCH
SE-15V-2-2U1C-TTL / SE-15V-2-2C1U-TTL/SE-15V-2-2U1C-RS
INTRODUCTION
The NTI 2-port “TTL” controlled video only switch allows one (1) CPU to switch two (2) monitors (model SE-15V-2-2U1C-TTL) or
one (1) monitor to be switched to two (2) computers (model SE-15V-2-2C1U-TTL). All NTI 2-port "TTL" controlled video only
switches are available for VGA video with 150MHz bandwidth and 1920X1200 resolution.
Optional: RS232 Control instead of TTL control available in model SE-15V-2-2U1C-RS.
INSTALLATION
1. Turn OFF power to CPU(s) and monitor(s).
FOR MODEL SE-15V-2-2C1U-TTL
2a. Using the supplied video cable, connect the video port of one
CPU to the “VIDEO 1” port on the unit.
NOTE: It will be necessary to repeat this step on the
“VIDEO 2” port with another VEXT-xx video
cable that must be purchased separately.
3a. Connect the monitor using its existing video cable to the
“MONITOR” port on the unit.
FOR MODEL SE-15V-2-2U1C-TTL/SE-15V-2U1C-RS
2b. Using the supplied video cable, connect the video port
of the CPU to the “VIDEO” port on the switch.
3b. Connect the monitors using their existing video cables to
ports “MONITOR 1” and “MONITOR 2” on the switch.
NOTE: Using a VEXT-xx video cable the monitor cable(s)
can be extended up to 250 feet (sold separately).
4. Secure the power cable to the cable tie on the SE-15V-2 and connect the power plug from the AC adapter to the SE-15V-2.
5. Plug in the AC adapter and power-up the switch. The “Power” LED and “1” LED should illuminate, indicating a connection
between the monitor and the CPU connected to “Video 1”.
6. Apply power to the CPU(s) and monitor(s).

TTL Control (SE-15V-2U1C/2C1U-TTL Models Only)
Models with –TTL include a 9 pin D female connector port for remote control. The proper wiring of the 9DB connector to use this
port is as follows:
¾Pin 1 = Ground
¾Pin 2 = NC or connect toTTL1 (>2.4VDC) to switch to Monitor 1
¾Pin 2 = Connect to pin 1 or TTL0 (<0.8VDC) to switch to Monitor 2.
The LEDs (1 or 2) will illuminate to provide indication of port selection
RS232 CONTROL (SE-15V-2U1C-RS Only)
The SE-15V-2U1C-RS can be controlled from the front panel push button (press to switch between MONITOR 1 and MONITOR2)
or it can be controlled using RS232. RS232 control can be achieved using a separate user terminal or CPU with a terminal
program. To make a terminal connection, connect a serial cable (specifications on page 3) between the user terminal and the 9
pin DIN female connector on the VIDMUX labeled "RS232". Configure the terminal program for a baud rate of 9600.
Remote Connection
The RS232 Interface is designed to meet the RS232C standard
and can be controlled from any CPU or other controller with an
RS232 communications port. The pin-out for the 9DB connector
on the unit is as follows:
On the 9DB female connector, pins 1 (DCD), 4 (DTR), and 6
(DSR) are shorted and pins 7 (RTS) and 8 (CTS) are shorted.
Therefore, host handshaking is bypassed and TXD and RXD are

most CPUs.
COMMAND PROTOCOL
CPU controller commands supported by the unit are defined below. All commands should be terminated with a <CR> (carriage
return). All characters in the command string should be upper case, and all numbers below 10 should have a leading 0
(ex: 1 = 01).
Legend: (All numbers must be two digits)
BR : Baud Rate Code (03,06,12,24,48,96)
OP : Output Port (01,02)
<CR> : Carriage Return (Hex 0xD)

CS 01,OP,01 *<CR> Connect One Output Port To Input Port
RO 01,01 *<CR>IP<CR> Read Connection For Output/User Port
CB 00,BR None Change baud rate of serial line
BR=03(00),06(00),12(00),24(00),48(00),96(00)
Factory default is 9,600 (see note below)
RS 01 *<CR> Internal Reset
RV 01,00 *<CR>string\0<CR> Read NTI Version String
RU 01 *<CR>IP,OP<CR> Read Unit Size
If the syntax of a command is incorrectly entered, the command will be ignored or the switch will answer with a bad response
?<CR>.
Note: The baud rate as changed via RS232 will hold only until the VIDMUX is power cycled. On power-up, the VIDMUX
will resume the default baud rate of 9600.
Note: If the baud rate of the VIDMUX is changed from 9600, be sure to change the baud rate of the user terminal as well.
Note: Each time the SE-15V-2 is power-cycled, it will connect the video to “MONITOR 1” by default.
