Genesis™ Matrix Switches
1.0 General
The Genesis™ series refers to compact, high-end matrix switches for video and
audio. The matrices are used for cross-point switching of video and audio signals.
The switch provides 8 or 16 video (and audio) outputs, each capable of
independently displaying any of 8 or 16 inputs in any combination. Additionally,
the outputs can be blanked out and/or muted. Genesis™ matrices can be used in
TV broadcasting environments, multi-media conference halls, public facilities,
large display projects, schools, courtrooms, and command & control centers.
The units are compatible with PC video from 640x480 to 1920x1600 or analog
SD/HDTV Component Video (YPbPr) from 480i to 1080p.
The Matrix can be controlled in 3 ways: manually using the buttons on the front
panel, through one or two serial RS232 control ports, or remotely via IP port.
