SmartAVI's new CAT-Switch takes video matrix switches to whole new lengths
SmartAVI, Inc. a leader in audio/video and digital signage products is pleased to announce its latest innovation; an audio/video switching matrix that can switch audio and video from devices located 1,500 feet away from each other.

/Multimedia News Articles/ - BURBANK, CA, August 09, 2008 - CAT-Switch's unique design simplifies the task of routing video input from multiple computers to multiple displays located throughout large spaces. Each input can be routed to one or more outputs located up to 1,500 feet away using our video extenders and common CAT5 cable. CAT-Switch creates a cross pattern of interconnecting configurations known as a video matrix router.

The CAT-Switch independent switching matrix comes in 8x8 and 8x16 and 16x16 configurations. Enhanced models come with full Infrared, RS/232 and TCP/IP support. Infrared gives you the ability to control both the matrix switch and the devices with a remote control while RS/232 support allows you to send commands and receive input data. TCP/IP support enables you to control CAT-Switch from any location over the Internet.

You can find SmartAVI Video Matrix switches installed in command centers, control rooms, boardrooms, educational environments and entertainment facilities. You will find them in any application where information from multiple computers is being shared.
