VM3250 modular matrix switch Gen.2 offers advanced access and real-time control of multiple local and remote A/V input devices and displays from a single chassis. VM3250 allows users to independently switch and route video and/or audio content directly to various monitors, displays, projectors, and/or speakers from the front panel pushbuttons.

A built-in scaler encodes the video format in order to provide seamless, real-time switching.

The front panel LCD shows a quick view of active port connections.

The switch also includes an option to select an EDID mode that yields the best resolution across different monitors.

Boasting a sophisticated and reliable design that delivers the best audio/visual distribution and control, the solution also incorporates an award-winning GUI that can be accessed from anywhere over a network or the internet. Through the intuitive web interface, video sources can be previewed in real-time via live streaming and video walls can be easily set up. A calendar-based scheduling function allows you to queue and play connection profiles via a calendar view for a set period of time, reducing related operation costs.

VM3250 is easily expandable and accommodates a lineup of hot-swappable ATEN I/O boards. Equipped with automatic signal conversion, it allows various combinations of digital and analog video interfaces, including fiber optic, HDBaseT, DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, 3G-SDI, and VGA. The flexibility and expandability make it ideal for large-scale A/V applications such as broadcasting stations, traffic and transportation-related control rooms, emergency service centers, and any application that requires customizable, high-speed A/V signal routing.

Flexible Integration
VM3250 can be configured with up to 32 video sources and 32 displays, with a flexible installation process that allows integration of different video interfaces and encoding of various video formats to customize system configurations for each application. The I/O slots are hot-swappable, making it easy and convenient to switch between multiple video sources and displays.

True 4K Resolution
True 4K pro AV solutions with High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology is the trend of high-definition video that delivers the ultimate visual experience with exceptional sharp and vibrant video quality. VM3250 modular matrix switch Gen. 2 supports a True 4K scaler that is compatible with the latest True 4K video resolutions of 4096x2160 / 3840x2160 @ 60Hz (4:4:4) and HDR, guaranteeing crystal-clear images across multiple displays.

Smooth and Seamless Viewing Experience
VM3250 has a built-in scaler and cross point design that unifies video formats and provides continuous video streams, real-time switching, and stable signal transmissions. VM3250 is also capable of high-speed switching between all input/output ports, supporting high data transfer rates of up to 22.5 Gbps/ch to minimize latency and increase the processing power for time-critical video applications.

Video Wall
VM3250 is equipped with video-wall functionality integrated with a scaler and cross point design that ensures all input sources are processed at the same time so that the video content is delivered across all screens with no delays or signal loss. The video-wall functionality provides up to 64 profiles that you can customize into layouts by setting the display outputs in accordance to your preference via an easy to use web GUI. Through profile setup, you can form a single large screen or a variation of multiple screens in different layouts.

Hot-pluggable Modular Fan and Redundant Power
Overheating slows down device performance significantly and can result in equipment downtime. VM3250 is equipped with fan modules to ensure that a cooling system is always in place and working. The fans are hot-pluggable and can easily be replaced without shutting down the system. Moreover, VM3250 has two power slots that can connect to two different power supplies. If the primary power fails, the secondary power supply can automatically take over. ATEN ensures that your investment is protected while delivering outstanding performance.

Audio Separation
VM3250 provides the capability to separate audio signals from their corresponding video signals, including both audio extraction and embedding. This allows the audio and video signals from one source device to be switched and sent out to different destinations.
