Safety instructions

Only use the device in compliance with the environmental conditions

speciﬁed and watch the technical characteristics. Otherwise the unit

may be damaged or malfunction will happen.

Only use original e:cue accessories to power VMC. Other power sup-

plies can damage the unit.

VMC DVI ports must not be hot plugged! In larger matrix systems with

multiple VMC and many ﬁxtures, voltage potential differences may oc-

cure and damage the VMC. Always turn off ﬁxture supplies and VMC

before connecting or disconnecting any VMC.

To prevent the device from overheating, only operate it in well-ventilat-

ed environment. Ventilation may not be obstructed. Do not install next

to heat emitting sources or in a place subject to direct sunlight.

Device components inside the system can reach high temperatures!

To avoid burns, allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes before

unmount or repair.

Installation and maintenance of this product must be performed by

individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions

and hazards associated with the product.

This description relates to ﬁrmware version 2.x, please contact Traxon

Technologies for documentation on version 1.x. Do not mix VMCs

with ﬁrmware versions 1.x and 2.x in one installation!

VMC with ﬁrmware version 2.x can only be conﬁgured with e:cue

Patchelor 5.5 or higher!

About the Video Micro Converter

Video Micro Converter (VMC) is a compact device used to convert a DVI signal to

DMX or e:pix for LED control of large media screens. Specially designed to easily

output video content on large LED media installations by grabbing up to 4096 pixels

per VMC.

Multiple VMCs can be daisy chained together to convert the entire DVI source to

control installations requiring more than 4096 pixels. The VMC features very ﬂex-

ible pixel mapping capabilities for demanding LED installations ranging from few

hundred to one million pixels.

e:pix is a protocol based on DMX, developed by Traxon Technologies, for an im-

proved communication between the VMC and TRAXON e:pix-ready LED products.

Highlights

• DVI to DMX/e:pix converter, DVI input resolutions up to 1920 x1080 pixels =

1080p

• Ethernet conﬁguration and patching with e:cue Patchelor

• Grabs and converts up to 4096 RGB pixel per VMC

• Extremely ﬂexible pixel mapping capabilities, internal active DVI signal booster

• Conﬁgurable RGB mapping for DMX channels

• Daisy chain up to 8 VMC for up to 32.000 pixel matrixes, with DVI splitter and

multiple VMC chains for up to 1 Million pixel

• Eight DMX or e:pix outputs (user conﬁgurable), user selectable DMX/e:pix output

refresh rate

• User selectable DMX/e:pix output channel count

• User selectable default matrix picture on video loss
