General
Each Extron Matrix 200 is custom designed to the user’s specifications. The
configuration is built from various combinations of ten I/O modules. The I/O
modules and possible configurations are listed below. The Matrix 200 can be
controlled from a host computer, a Front Panel Controller (FPC), or a
QuickSwitch™ Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC).
Matrix units can also be interconnected to expand the switching capabilities for
up to 48 inputs by 48 outputs. This allows for multiple switching combinations.
I/O Modules
Matrix 200 Switchers are ordered for a specific application with a combination of
I/O modules. Each module switches one type of video signal – one for red, one
for blue, etc. One audio module switches both left and right stereo channels.
• 4 x 4 High-Resolution Analog Module (HRAM), with 250 MHz video bandwidth
• 8 x 4 High-Resolution Analog Module (HRAM), with 250 MHz video bandwidth
• 8 x 8 High-Resolution Analog Module (HRAM), with 250 MHz video bandwidth
• 4 x 4 Sync Module
• 8 x 4 Sync Module
• 8 x 8 Sync Module
• 4 x 4 Video Module
• 8 x 4 Video Module
• 8 x 8 Video Module
• 8 x 8 Stereo Audio Module
For example: a Matrix 200 designed to switch RGB, separate horizontal and
vertical sync, and stereo audio, will require the following modules: three HRAM,
two Sync and one audio modules.
Configurations
Depending upon the configuration of I/O modules (above), the Matrix 200
Switcher can have up to 16 different input/output configurations. The
configuration determines how many modules are required.
