How to Install VM7814

Follow these steps to deploy the VM7814 within your ATEN Modular Matrix Switch environment:

• Power down your ATEN chassis and confirm compatibility with a VM7814 installation in the modular frame.
• Locate an available expansion slot or bay in your ATEN Modular Matrix Switch and slide the VM7814 into place according to the chassis guidelines.
• Connect four HDMI sources to the four HDMI input ports on the VM7814. Ensure that cables are fully seated to prevent intermittent signal loss.
• Attach four stereo audio sources to the corresponding audio input ports if you plan to embed audio into HDMI outputs. This enables synchronized video and audio routing through the matrix.
• Power on the chassis and use the matrix switch management software or control interface to configure input-to-output routing. Assign each HDMI input to the desired display outputs according to your layout and presentation needs.
• Test each source on each display, verify audio synchronization, and adjust routing or audio embedding as necessary. Save your configuration for quick recall in future sessions.
• Ensure firmware, switch software, and the VM7814 are running compatible versions to maintain optimal performance and reliability across all four channels.
