Specifications for OnTheAir Switch
| OnTheAir Switch | |
|---|---|
| Minimum System requirements | G4, OS 10.4.11, 2GB RAM |
| Other requirements | A USB to RS232 converter (for example Keyspan) may be needed to connect to the Matrix Video Switcher, unless it is possible to control it using the RS422 port of the video card. |
| RS422 port of Video card support | NO. OnTheAir Switch can only communicate to the Video router using RS232 |
| RS232 port of Xserve | NO. The RS232 port of Xserves is not configurable. |
| AppleScriptable | ✔ |
| Controlable Matrix Video Switcher | See below, and note that a 32 x 32 is not the same as a 16 x 16 and will require a different plugin. |
Allways ask us the confirmation for the compatibility of the Matrix Video Switcher you would like to control before ordering as it cannot be guaranteed that all Switchers can be controlled. If the Matrix Video Switcher you'd like to control is not in the list below, support for a Matrix Video Switcher may be added upon request. Development of additional plugin will take some time and the easiest is if we can get our hands on the switcher for one day in order to make the tests and make sure we communicate properly with it. Send us an email to check the possibilities before ordering.
Note: Product specifications are not contractual and subject to change without notice.
