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
●Up to 5 Graphics/Video Inputs*

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
