Aten VM5808D 1RU 8x8 DVI Matrix Switch with Scaler

While HDMI-compliant devices continue to gain traction, DVI display devices remain the cornerstone of traffic control centers and other large-scale, centralized control rooms. To circumvent issues such as signal instability and quality deterioration that can arise with interface converters, ATEN has engineered the VM5808D, a seamless matrix switch for DVI signals. This innovative solution provides a straightforward and cost-effective method to route any of 8 DVI video sources to any of 8 DVI displays.

The VM5808D boasts 8x8 DVI I/O connections, offering flexibility and control through pushbuttons, an IR Remote Control, and a bi-directional RS-232 serial controller. It also features a Browser Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Telnet for smooth system operation. The device extends IR transmission via an IR extension cable, ensuring reliable signal reach.

One of the standout features of the VM5808D is its built-in scaler on each output port. This feature effortlessly converts input resolutions into the display's native resolution, supporting scaling 1920 x 1200 resolutions up or down. This ensures viewers receive the highest image quality across all displays.

The VM5808D employs ATEN's FPGA design, which unifies video formats to provide continuous video streams, real-time switching, and stable signal transmissions. This seamless switch is a testament to ATEN's commitment to delivering high-quality video solutions.

The device also integrates video wall functionality, offering up to 16 video wall profiles for custom screen layouts via an intuitive point-n-click web GUI. This feature, known as EDID Expert, configures optimum EDID settings for smooth power-up, high-quality display, and the use of the best resolution across different screens.

The VM5808D is firmware upgradeable, ensuring it stays up-to-date with the latest technological advancements. Its 1U design makes it rack-mountable, making it a space-saving solution for any control center.

In essence, the VM5808D is more than just a matrix switch. It's a comprehensive solution for any control center that requires streaming multiple sources to multiple displays, offering seamless switching, superior image quality, and customizable layout options.
