System4

Video Manager
n Centralized Monitor &
Multiplexer Operation
n Controls up to 16
System4 Multiplexers
n Uses up to Four
Keyboards with Port
Expander
n Easy Installation

The System4 Video Manager provides
advanced automatic switching
technology that enables more efficient
control of monitor outputs and
keyboard operations. The Video
Manager reduces the number of
necessary monitors in the system and
allows greater flexibility in the system
configuration. It provides a centralized
control station with up to 6 monitors
and up to 4 keyboards (with optional
keyboard port expander). VCR
functions and sequential switching are
easily controlled via the remote
keyboard locations as programmed
through the multiplexers and viewed
from the System4 Video Manager
monitor(s).
Up to 16 System4 multiplexers (any
model) can be connected to the Video
Manager and viewed on a single or pair
of monitors. The LTC 2604 Keyboard
Port Expander can be used to
accommodate up to four keyboards for
remote control over the multiplexers
and the monitor(s) they are viewing.
No additional user controls are
necessary for these operations.
By design, system setup of the Video
Manager is quick and easy - just plug in
and operate.
The System4 Video Manager accepts
monitor A and monitor B outputs from
each multiplexer. When using a single
keyboard with the Video Manager, the
system intelligently routes the video
output from any one of the 16 System4
multiplexers to the first set of monitor
outputs 1A and 1B, respectively.
Likewise, when using two keyboards
(port 1 and 2 of the keyboard port
expander), the system intelligently
routes the video outputs from any one
of the 16 System4 multiplexers to the
second set of monitor outputs 2A and
2B, respectively.
When using three or four keyboards
with the Video Manager and Keyboard
Port Expander, the system automatically
routes monitor A or B from any one of
the 16 System4 multiplexers to the
dedicated monitor of those keyboards
(either keyboard 3 or keyboard 4).
