VM8 matrix switcher range
Reading, UK
The range is packed with advanced features, including multi-protocol telemetry on both coaxial and RS485 formats. This gives a wide choice of control options for new installations and the easy upgrade of existing systems by simply adding PTZ units as the need arises using existing coaxial cable. Up to 96 optional alarm inputs are available; each individual alarm input can be programmed to alarm four different cameras, including switching cameras to different monitors, presets and triggering output relays.
"The VM8 range provides users with a simple tool to allow them to get the most out of their systems," says Mark Pritchard, divisional director of Vista. "The system allows for the replacement of static cameras with PTZs without any additional cabling, and the one-box solution is ideal for medium sized matrix requirements."
