INTRODUCTION
The AV-GM08F3-S1 5x5 VGA/Component/S-Video/Composite Matrix with Audio receives and
amplifies up to 5 VGA inputs, perfectly switches the desired input to the 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 supports VGA video bandwidth up to
400MHz and also supports YPbPr component, S-Video, and Composite signals. The re-transmitted
video quality is guaranteed and the longest transmission is up to 65 meters (210 feet). Therefore,
AV-GM08F3-S1 offers the most convenient and cost effective means for swift switch of high quality
PC graphics and HDTV videos with crystal clear audio in the market. With equipped audio matrix,
AV-GM08F3-S1 is ready to be as YPbPr matrix with stereo audio and ideally for boardroom,
showroom, and exhibition. Through IR remote, RS-232, Ethenet or front panel push button, the
control of AV-GM08F3-S1 becomes versatile and easier.
FEATURES
●Broadcasts the audio and video outputs from five computers to five monitors and speakers

Software Control via the RS-232 or Ethernet port
Software Control Menu
1. Setting button:
Click Get button to read back device ID.
Click Set button to write device ID.
Click Rename button to open the String Table.
For Ethernet 1group, users have to define
Ethernet properties through RS-232 for the
matrix. All the parameters for Ethernet have to
be saved into the matrix by clicking on Write To
Device button.
In the Communication 2group, users can choose
the control interface between matrix and PC
host.

Note
1Initial or any change to Ethernet settings,
users MUST power cycle VGA matrix in
order to get the network settings effective!
2Please notice that Ethernet control has a
higher priority than RS-232. If RS-232 and
Ethernet controls come from 2 different
hosts, commands may coincide and in this
case, commands from Ethernet will be
effective immediately no matter whether
commands from RS-232 are accurately

In the GUI String Table group, click on “Rename” button and assign the captions for
each input and output port for easy recognition.
For example
Rename the Input1 to “Main PC”, Input2 to “Sub PC,” input3 to “PC-3,” … etc., and rename
output1 to “Conf. RM1,” output2 to “Main monitor,” output3 to “Lobby,” output4 to “Main
projector,” … etc.
2. Scan button:
Serial Port Scan
Click Scan button, the machine will scan the all
com port and show them.
Select the RS232 serial port connected to the
machine. And set device ID 255 is for all device.
Only the same device id or 255 can get the
command you sent.
Click OK. Get the new status from the machine
you select.
