Peavey Adds Video to the MediaMatrix

June 13, 2012 - ProAV News, rAVe [PUBS], Rental and Staging,

Peavey has added video switching and scaling to all control interfaces within MediaMatrix switchers. The new MediaMatrix VSC-101tn, VSC-101, VSC-51 and VCAT-HD video scalers and switchers are aimed at what Peavey calls mid-level entertainment venues, houses of worship, conference rooms and educational facilities.

The VSC-101 is a rack-mountable scaling presentation switcher that scales up to 10 video inputs to a simultaneous HDMI and VGA output. Video inputs include four HDMI (1.4 compliant), four VGA with 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo audio inputs, one Component Video, one S-Video and two Composite Video. The VSC-101tn also includes a twisted-pair output for connection to the included VCAT-HD-R via CAT-5e or CAT-6 shielded cable up to a distance of 70 meters. Both models include balanced audio outputs and a 10-watt power amp for audio monitoring.

The VSC-51 scaling presentation switcher scales up to five video inputs to an HDMI output. Video inputs include two HDMI, one VGA, one Component Video, one Composite Video or S-Video. The VSC-51 also features a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo analog audio output and a SP/DIF digital audio output (RCA Jack) for audio-follow-video. The VSC-51 can be rack mounted to the front or rear of standard equipment racks.

The VSC-101, VSC-101tn and VSC-51 are HDCP 1.3 compliant and compatible with NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.42, PAL, and SECAM. All functions can be controlled via the front panel, the provided hand-held IR remote, or serially by an external NION controller via RS-232.

The VCAT-HD is an HDMI/IR/RS232 transmitter (VCAT-HD-T) and receiver (VCAT-HD-R) pair. The VCAT-HD uses HDBaseT technology to deliver a HDMI signal and control signal (IR & RS-232) over a single shielded, twisted-pair data cable, with a maximum transmission distance of up to 70 meters with CAT5e/CAT6 cable.
