Russound Introduces High-Definition Video Matrix Lineup

DENVER, CO, September 12, 2006 Russound, the #1 brand in multiroom audio, extends its industry-leading expertise in multiroom entertainment to the video realm with the introduction of the Video Matrix VM1. The VM1 answers the industry’s demand for a high quality component video matrix that makes multiroom HD video distribution simple for dealers and consumers alike.

“Russound is answering a market need for high quality video distribution,” said Product Manager Roger Soucy. “The VM1 centrally locates all video sources for distribution throughout the home in a way that makes it practical and accessible for any custom installation to include high definition multiroom video.”

Capable of handling HDTV resolutions up to 1080i, the VM1 uses state-of-the-art circuitry to distribute video signals to zones up to 300 feet over a single CAT-5 cable. Distributed video is routed from the VM1 to Russound’s VMR1, a single gang, in-wall receiver that converts the signal back to analog component video, making it available at RGB RCA terminals on the front panel. The slim, in-wall design of the VMR1 is suited for concealed mounting behind flat-panel displays.

The Video Matrix VM1 is available in five configurations to suit any installation. The base, VM1 4, is a four source to four zone video matrix designed for component video sources only. For larger installations, the VM1 8 is a high-quality matrix for eight component video sources and zones. For installations where video format up-conversion for both composite and S-Video is desired, the VM1 4UC provides this capability on two sources and four zones. When the VM1 4UC is too small, the VM1 8UC will up-convert two source formats for eight zones, while the VM1 8UC2 provides the up-conversion capability on four video sources. The Video Matrix’s format up-converting capabilities provide a simple and intuitive solution for integrating a variety of legacy, lower resolution sources. The VM1 provides convenience to the end user — customers won’t have to select a different video input on the display to watch a source with a different video signal format.

The VM1 is compatible with Russound RNET¥ systems (CAV, CAM) and the CAA66 Controller Amplifier. It can also distribute video for third party systems through serial data (DB9 and USB, both using the current RS232 protocol).

The Russound VM1 family of video matrixes will be available in Q2 of 2007.
