TekFlex-12 users are no longer limited by the number of fixed inputs or outputs or the fixed type of connection options in most presentation switchers. TEKVOX gives the power to pick and choose back to the user. With TekFlex-12 providing 12 card slots with flexible I/O combinations, users just pick the input and output cards they need and plug them into whatever slot they wish. The system automatically recognizes the input and output cards.
”TekFlex-12 represents the opening salvo in a new age of highly configurable seamless AV matrix technology. No longer do you need to be restricted by a fixed number of inputs and outputs.”, said Mike Slattery, TEKVOX Founder and CTO. Our goal is to set the standard for affordable configurable matrix technology that will support the widest array of system topologies possible with many additional chassis and card options to come.”
