In addition to standard video and audio outputs, the
UT250-101 also has a 4TP (4 Twisted Pair) output
for each video output. These 4TP outputs can be
used with a compatible Twisted Pair receiver, like
the TP115-111, to transmit the video and audio
signals over long distances to remote projectors or
other multimedia presentation systems.

UT250-101
Under Table 8x4 VGA+Audio Matrix
Switcher with “Show Me” Keys+RS-232
Auto-Switcher
The latest generation of Twisted Pair devices uses
an innovative, patented technology* developed by
ALTINEX. The new signal processing technology
allows transmitting and receiving fully equalized
computer video signals, stereo, and audio signals
over long distances.
The UT250-101 is an 8x4 Video+Audio Matrix
Switcher designed to be mounted under a table as
part of an integrated audiovisual system. The
UT250-101 provides great flexibility for routing
multimedia signals from a single, convenient
location. Under Table solutions are ideal for
situations where it is too expensive or impractical to
install equipment directly into the furniture.
The UT250-101 accepts 8 computer/YPbPr video
inputs and 8 stereo inputs. The audio inputs accept
both left and right audio, and then combine them to
create a mono signal. The 4 video outputs function
as 2 independent dual outputs where any input can
be routed to 2 or all 4 of the video outputs. Each of
the 4 outputs can be switched independently using
RS-232 control. The audio output follows the last
switched input and delivers a balanced mono
output on both the left and right channels.
* US Patent 7,065,190
Input-to-output switching can be made from one or
all of the following methods: RS-232, contact
closures, auto-switching. RS-232 control is
accomplished from a computer or controller using
the RS-232 bus. Contact closures with LEDs
(“Show Me” keys) allow manual switching through
the Output Select Control inputs on the front of the
unit. These controls are designed for use with
momentary switches having built-in LEDs. Any
input can be switched to either, or both, of the dual
outputs and the LEDs show which connections are
active. The UT250-101 can also be configured for
auto-switching. In Auto-Switch mode, the
UT250-101 automatically switches to the lowest
number input with an active video signal applied.
Any selections made by a user from the Output
Select Control input override the Auto-Switch
feature.

OPERATION
7
Step 1. Decide how the UT250-101 will be
controlled: using contact closures on the
Output Select Controls, through computer
control using the RS-232 input, using
auto-switching, or all 3 methods.
7.1 MANUAL CONTROL
7.1.1 OUTPUT SELECT CONTROLS
The Output Select Control inputs on the front of
the UT250-101 allow 8 users direct control of
video switching. In this method, each user
typically has a control panel with 2 illuminated
switches along with video and audio inputs.
If using the Output Select Controls, see
Diagram 6 for wiring information.
Step 2. Locate the best position for the
UT250-101, but do NOT mount it to the
surface until all the cables are prepared.
(See Diagram
information.)
6
for details and wiring
When a user presses a control switch, the video
and audio from that control panel are displayed
at the output of the UT250-101. Each switch
connects its corresponding input to 2 outputs,
either 1A/1B, or 2A/2B. Once the connection is
made, the LED for that switch turns on. If the
switch’s LED is on and the switch is pressed,
the output is disabled and the LED turns off. The
audio output follows the last video input
selected.
Step 3. Prepare the mating cables using
high-quality cables for best results and
durability. Make sure the cables are long
enough to allow for a service-loop and so
the cables can be neatly routed beneath
the table to their destinations.
Step 4. Secure the unit under the table using the
screws provided with the unit.
Step 5. Make all necessary connections to the
UT250-101.
7.1.2 AUTO-SWITCH MODE
In
Auto-Switch
mode,
the
UT250-101
Step 6. When making connections to the terminal
blocks (audio out, control, RS-232, etc.),
use 24-28 AWG stranded wire for best
results. Also, use multi-conductor cable
where possible. For example, a standard
4-conductor cable works well for the
RS-232 connection.
automatically switches to the lowest input
number with an active signal applied. For
example, if there is a signal on Input 4 and a
new signal is applied to Input 2, the outputs
defined with the Auto-Switch command will
switch to Input 2.
The Output Select Control inputs override
Auto-Switch mode. When a user selects an
input using an external switch, the UT250-101
automatically switches to the selected input.
Step 7. Use the cable clamps provided to secure
the cables to the bottom of the table/desk.
Do NOT bend the cables too sharply
Step 8. Attach the cable support to the
UT250-101 as shown in Diagram 5. This
will help alleviate the strain of the cables
pulling from the connectors and protect
the cables from being accidentally pulled
free or damaged.
In Auto-Switch mode, Input 8 is designed for use
as a logo input that displays when the system is
not in use. If Auto-Switch mode is enabled then
overridden by the Output Select Control inputs,
when all active inputs are removed from
Inputs 1-7,

the unit is operational.
Auto-Switch mode must be set using the
RS-232 input. See the AUTO commands in the
following section for details.

= Unit ID (only U2 executes ON)
1. Square brackets “[ ]” are part of the
command.
Unit ID “U0” does not need to be included at the
end of a command string.
2. Use uppercase letters for all commands.
3. Spaces are not legal characters.
Example:
[ON]:
Executed by U0
Executed by U0
Commands instruct the UT250-101 to perform
specific actions or request information. Some
commands do both simultaneously. A command
that instructs the UT250-101 only to perform an
action will generate feedback of “[ ]”. The open
bracket immediately followed by a closed
bracket indicates the card received a valid

If the command requested
information, the feedback generated by the
UT250-101 is the acknowledgement of having
received a valid command. Invalid commands
generate feedback that includes “ERR” plus an
error code.

and save the setting. After power-up or [CLR],
IN 1 will be connected to all outputs.
Command Format: [SIDn]
21. [AFB]
n
= Unit ID (n = # from 1 to 9)
This command enables/disables the command
acknowledgement feedback, “[ ]”, from the
UT250-101. This setting is automatically saved
to memory and can only be changed by sending
the [AFB] command a second time. Use this
command when sending a large number of
commands with no delays, or when repeatedly
sending commands with no delays.
Example:
There are two UT250-101 units on the RS-232
bus, but they need to be controlled individually.
Connect only the first unit to the bus and then
send [SID1]. This unit is now U1. Disconnect the
first unit and connect the second unit. Now send
[SID2] to the second unit. The second unit is
now U2.
Command Format: [AFBm]
m = 1 for ON, 0 for OFF
Example:
23. [RSI]
This command resets the unit ID to U0.
Command Format: [RSI]
Example:
Send 16 commands to the UT250-101 to
initialize the card. The required commands are
as follows:
Send the command [RSI] to reset unit ID U1
assigned above back to U0.
[I1O1A],
[I2O1B],
etc.
Send the [AFB] command first, and then the
switching commands.
[AFB0],
[I1O1A],
[I2O1B],
etc.
[AFB1]
In the above example, the brackets, “[ ]”, will not
be displayed after each command is executed.
