Genlock Connections
If so desired, the Matrix 100
can use an external
Genlock signal to
synchronize composite
video or S-Video switching.
The illustration here shows
the Genlock connections.
The In connector goes to a
timing source. The Out
connector allows the signal
to be passed on to another
video device; it does not
have to be connected for
Matrix operation.
Figure 2-2. Genlock connects to a timing source.
RGB Input Connections
All RGB input and output connections to the Matrix 100 are made with BNC type
connectors. Many types of RGB output devices (scan doublers, document
cameras, etc.), including most computers, do not have BNC video output
connectors. If not, a suitable adapter, or an Extron computer-video interface,
should be used to adapt the device output to the BNC input of the Matrix 100.
With the proper adapter, the RGB and Sync signals can be connected directly to
the R, G, B, H, V inputs of the switcher. If the RGB signal is using the Sync-on-
Green channel, connect the RGB cables to the switcher without using the sync
channels.
RGB input connections to the Matrix 100 can be made using the following
combinations:
Without Audio
RGsB - Red, Sync-on-Green, Blue
RGBS - Red, Green, Blue, and Composite Sync
RGBHV - Red, Green, Blue, H&V Sync
With Audio
RGsB with R&L Audio - Red, Green, Blue, and Audio Follow
RGBS with R&L Audio - Red, Green, Blue, Sync and Audio Follow
RGBHV with R&L Audio - Red, Green, Blue, H&V Sync and Audio Follow
The following pages illustrate examples for the above combinations with Right
and Left Audio connections. If audio is not being used, ignore that part.
