Effortlessly manage, switch and route analog and serial audio and video

Manage video inputs on complex installations effortlessly with the AVC1816. This rugged, smart video controller routes multiple sources of analog video, audio, and serial digital video throughout a vehicle or installation, providing real-time control over input/output configurations, with dynamic switching initiated via Ethernet, RS-232, ARINC 825 CAN bus, or an optional NVIS-compliant AVC1816-CTRL remote control panel. Integrated failsafe routing means that even in the event of a power outage, STANAG, RS-170, RGB, SMPTE 292, and SMPTE 424 signals will route via the tough MIL-C-38999 Series III and HD BNC coaxial connectors. With its longevity and reliability, the AVC1816 is the ideal video router for meeting the complex and demanding missions of today and tomorrow.
