Sample Configuration
Figure 1-3 shows one example of the I/O modules that could be installed in six
planes of a Matrix 100. See page 1-1 for I/O modules and possible
configurations.
For example, an 8 x 8 RGBS switcher requires: three 8 x 8 medium-resolution
analog modules (MRAM) and one 8 x 8 sync module (Syn). This would occupy
the Red, Green, Blue and one Sync/Video planes. The fifth plane could have a
composite video module (Cv), and the sixth plane could have an audio switching
module (Aud).
This configuration is capable of being
controlled and routed as three
separate switchers:
• one 8 x 8 RGBS matrix switcher
• one 8 x 8 video switcher
• one 8 x 8 audio switcher
In addition, SmartControl™ allows
the Matrix 100 to group these
functions as a single RGBS
composite video switcher with stereo
audio.
The bottom of the diagram illustrates
how the Main Controller (and the
optional QuickSwitch Front Panel
Controller) routes the various inputs
to the outputs.
