Extron Electronics Matrix 100 Switcher - Manual (Page 7)

General
Each Extron Matrix 100 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 100 can be
controlled from a host computer or from 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 100 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 Medium-Resolution Analog Module (MRAM), 175 MHz video bandwidth
• 8 x 4 Medium-Resolution Analog Module (MRAM), 175 MHz video bandwidth
• 8 x 8 Medium-Resolution Analog Module (MRAM), 175 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 100 designed to switch RGB, separate horizontal and
vertical sync, and stereo audio will require the following modules: three MRAM,
two Sync and one audio modules.
Configurations
Depending upon the configuration of I/O modules (above), the Matrix 100
Switcher can have up to 16 different input/output configurations. The
configuration determines how many modules are required.
• RGsB – Red, Green, (sync on green), Blue
• RGBS – Red, Green, Blue and separate composite Sync
• RGBHV – Red, Green, Blue and separate H&V Sync
• RGsBCv – Red, Green, (sync on green), Blue, and Composite video
• RGsBYC – Red, Green, (sync on green), Blue and S-Video
• RGBSCv – Red, Green, Blue, composite Sync, and Composite video
• RGsBA – Red, Green, (sync on green), Blue, and Audio
• RGBSA – Red, Green, Blue, Sync, and Audio
• RGBHVA – Red, Green, Blue, separate H&V sync, and Audio
• RGsBCvA – Red, Green, (sync on green), Blue, Composite video, and Audio
• RGsBYCA – Red, Green, (sync on green), Blue, S-Video, & stereo Audio
• RGBSCvA – Red, Green, Blue, composite Sync, Composite video, and Audio
• CvA – Composite video, and Audio
• YCA – S-Video with Audio
• Cv – Composite video
• YC – S-Video
