6 Russound VM1 Installation Manual Rev. 1

The Video Matrix is controlled by the system to which it is connected. It

switches video sources to the zones by receiving source selection commands

from the host system.

The VM1 provides a choice of ports for receiving control data from the host

system: two RJ45 jacks for linking to a Russound RNET-enabled multiroom

system; a DB9 serial connector; and a USB connector.

The VM1 oers three control options:

RNET via RJ45 modular ports•

RS232 via DB9 port•

RS232 via USB port*•

RNET communication

When connected through the RNET port, a VM1 8 Video Matrix default

conguration monitors the RNET system’s communication bus and responds

to source selection events for sources 1 through 8 from zones 1 through 8. (In

a system with multiple six-zone controllers, zones 7 and 8 are zones 1 and 2 on

controller 2.) With the CAV6.6 system, it also responds to selection of the Front

(Aux) A/V Input (source 7). This permits the Video Matrix to distribute that

source instead of running a separate video cable from the source to the display

and selecting it at the display. The 4x4 congurations of the VM1 respond to

source selection commands for sources 1 through 4 by default. Source inputs

can be assigned to other system specic sources using the VM1 Conguration

Tool software.

RS232 communication

The DB9 serial port allows control of the Video Matrix from a home automation

and control system such as AMX or Crestron. In this application, the VM1 uses

RS232 command strings for source selection. The RS232 command protocol for

the VM1 is available from the Document Center at www.russound.com.

USB communication

The USB port is for control devices that do not have DB9 legacy connections.

It uses the same RS232 command strings as the DB9 port.

*For third-party control of the VM1 through a USB interface, you must install

the necessary Russound USB drivers on a PC.
