Extron VNM EC 200 (part number 60-1516-01) — a dedicated appliance for configuring, managing, and dynamically controlling large VN-Matrix streaming systems from one interface.

Every VN-Matrix system ships with a basic embedded web interface, but that is only practical for a handful of units left in a fixed state. VNM EC 200 replaces that with a purpose-built controller that groups devices for bulk configuration and firmware updates, and builds streaming and recording presets that an external control system can recall on demand. Two VNM EC 200 units can be paired as a redundant primary/secondary system, with the secondary continuously monitoring the primary's health and taking over automatically if it fails.

Key Capabilities

• Dedicated hardware controller for large VN-Matrix system deployments
• Supports redundant primary/secondary configuration for mission-critical control
• Creates and recalls streaming and recording system presets
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet control ports, 10/100/1000Base-T
• Removable 80GB SATA drive for data security

Where It Is Used

VNM EC 200 is required whenever a VN-Matrix deployment grows past about 10 units, integrates a VNR 100 recorder, needs to interface with an external control system, or must operate multiple domains as one combined system or independent clusters.
