KanexPro 4-Input VGA Card with Audio for Modular Matrix

The KanexPro MOD-IN-VGA is a high-bandwidth, 4-input VGA expansion card designed to plug into KanexPro’s HDMMX modular matrix switchers. System integrators rely on this card to flexibly adjust video routing and expand audio capabilities within a modular matrix environment. With four VGA inputs and four dedicated stereo audio Phoenix connectors, the MOD-IN-VGA delivers pristine analog video performance alongside synchronized multi-channel audio, all within a compact, shielded card that fits neatly into the modular matrix backplane. This card is built for installers who demand scalable, reliable AV routing in modern corporate, education, digital signage, house-of-worship, and broadcast facilities. By enabling you to add or remove input channels on the fly, the MOD-IN-VGA helps you optimize your matrix topology for changes in room layouts, audience sizes, or content strategies without replacing entire systems.

• Flexible expansion for KanexPro HDMMX matrices: The MOD-IN-VGA is purpose-built to integrate with HDMMX modular matrix switchers, letting you tailor the number of active inputs to match your venue’s needs. Installers can add or remove this card as required, enabling dynamic reconfiguration of input sources such as laptops, media players, document cameras, or video servers. The card’s modular design minimizes downtime during system upgrades and expansions, ensuring your AV infrastructure stays current with evolving display requirements. With four independent VGA inputs and four stereo audio paths, you can route both video and audio content to multiple destinations with ease, delivering synchronized AV experiences across rooms and campuses.
• High-bandwidth analog video with crisp, color-accurate output: The MOD-IN-VGA delivers robust performance for analog VGA signals, preserving the integrity of color, brightness, and sharpness across typical presentation and classroom setups. Its high-bandwidth design supports a wide range of resolutions commonly used with VGA sources, allowing clean, artifact-free video when scaled to larger displays or distributed through the matrix. The device is engineered to minimize ghosting and signal degradation, even when multiple inputs are routed to different destinations in a single matrix instance. This performance is essential for presentations, lectures, and events where video fidelity directly impacts audience engagement.
• Independent stereo audio routing for flexible AV experiences: In addition to four VGA inputs, the MOD-IN-VGA provides four Phoenix connectors for stereo audio. This enables clean, independent audio paths to accompany each video source, supporting simple or complex AV configurations. Whether you’re routing a laptop’s HDMI/ VGA audio through the matrix or coordinating an external audio source with one of several video sources, this card ensures audio remains synchronized with video across all outputs. The result is a cohesive AV experience without external audio adapters or adapters.
• Efficient installation and maintenance for integrators: Designed with installers in mind, the MOD-IN-VGA slots into the HDMMX chassis with minimal cabling and straightforward backplane connection. Once seated, the card is ready to be configured via the matrix control interface. Its compact form factor, shielded construction, and plug-in connectivity reduce install time and spare-part inventory while increasing reliability in tight rack spaces. The ability to hot-swap or upgrade inputs within the same chassis helps facilities scale their matrices without major hardware downtime.
• Robust compatibility, control, and long-term value: The MOD-IN-VGA is compatible with KanexPro’s line of modular matrix switchers, ensuring a coherent ecosystem for future upgrades. When paired with other KanexPro input modules, it contributes to a unified control surface, consistent EDID management, and predictable performance across diverse display types. This card represents a cost-effective way to expand routing capabilities without replacing existing infrastructure, delivering long-term value for schools, corporations, and event campuses that require dependable, scalable AV routing.
