INTRODUCTION

The VIP-802 "MegaView"™ Video Switches are available as a single, dual, triple and quad multi head, Integrated Video Switch with Remote Control, switching from one to up to four monitors between two PC's.

The "MegaView" system consists of the following components:

1. One - Video Switch Unit
2. One - VIP-210 Power Supply.

Note: The "MegaView" does not come with VGA extension cables. They may be ordered from Vetra separately (see Accessories ).

INSTALLATION

There are three main steps to connect the Video Switch:

1. Connect PC's to Switch unit:

Connect the Video outputs of the PC's to the Video Switch using 15 pin HDD15 male/female extension cables. Connect PC#1's video output to the backpanel connector of the Video Switch marked "TO PC1 MON". Connect PC#2's video output to the backpanel connector of the Switch marked "TO PC2 MON".

Or in the case of the V2, V3, and V4 series MegaView

Connect PC#1’s Monitor A video output to the backpanel connector of the Video Switch marked “TO PC1 MON A”, and connect PC#1's Monitor B video output to the back panel connector of the Video Switch marked “TO PC1 MON B”. For the V3 and V4 series of MegaView connect PC#1's Monitors C and D video outputs to the back panel connectors of the Video Switch marked "PC 1 MON C" and "PC1 MON D". Repeat this step for PC#2.

2. Connect a Monitor(s) to the Switch:

Connect the VGA monitor to the 15-pin HDD connector on the backpanel of the Video Switch marked "MONITOR IN".

Or in case of the V2, V3, and V4 series MegaView

Connect the VGA Monitor A to the 15-pin HDD connector on the back panel of the Video Swicth marked "MONITOR A IN". Repeat this step for Monitors B, C, and D.

3. Connect the Power Supply to the Video Switch:

The Video Switch is powered by an external wall plug-in supply the VIP-210 (+5Vdc 1A reg. 110 - 240 Vac 50 - 60 Hz).
First plug the power output plug of this external supply into the mating jack on the backpanel of the Video Switch marked "+5VDC IN", and only then plug the supply into a suitable AC power source. Since the Video Switch has no separate power on/off switch, it is recommended that the power supply be connected to an AC power source that has a power on/off switch.

OPERATION

1. Power Up Sequence:

There is no separate power control for the video switch. The switch derives its power from an external power supply provided with the MegaView. Plug the power supply into the Power Jack marked “+5VDC IN” on the back panel of the Video Switch, note that the PWR ON indicator on the front panel comes on.

2. PC Selection:

a) Front Panel Selection:

1) NEXT MON (available on all Standard models): To select another PC, press the "NEXT MON" pushbutton located on the front panel of the MegaView. The MegaView will switch from one PC to the other. If PC#1 is selected the MONITOR STATUS 1 SEL indicator will be on. IF PC#2 is selected then the MONITOR STSTUS 2 SEL for that PC will be on.
2) Direct Entry (available on DE models only): To select another PC, press the MONITOR SELECTION pushbutton for the appropriate PC desired.

b) Remote Control (available on all models):

The MegaView may also be switched via remote control. A Hex 31 (PC #1) or Hex 32 (PC #2) sent via RS-232 to pin 2 of the DB-9 connector on the rear panep marked "REMOTE CONTROL" will switch the MegaView from PC1 to PC2. The data format is one start bit, eight data bits, least significant bit first, one stop bit and no parity. the baud rate is 9600. Pin 5 is ground.
