The VEEMUX® VGA Video Matrix Switch routes video from many computers to multiple displays (projectors, monitors, etc.) This switch can drive standard VGA cables, thus eliminating the need for external interfaces and coax cable connections via BNC connectors.

Signals from a range of input sources can be distributed to various output devices, in essence creating a "matrix" pattern of interconnection possibilities. A single computer video output can be routed to one or more monitors. Each image will be as crisp and clear as if directly connected to the original source. Each video output is buffered from each input, insuring signal integrity throughout the system.

  • "Thanks for the great service!! I didn't expect to have the product shipped the next day. This will help me finish my new installation on time.

    I have installed a few of the matrix switches in bars/clubs in the New York City area. I connect all plasma displays via the matrix switch to HD satellite receivers and other equipment. I set up a place where there are three floors, with a total of six different rooms all video is control by the 16x16 switch.

    I always tell my customers how good a product is by how it holds up (a test of time). After two years, your products are holding up fine.;"
