in theory an unlimited number of Matrix Switches may
be connected in a daisy-chain configuration. This is
possible because a clean video signal is regenerated at
each Matrix Switch.

In more practical terms, up to four (4) Matrix Switches
may be cascaded to create a 4x16 matrix. These units
would typically be connected in the following way:

matrices should be the same in regards to a given
source. For example, imagine an HDMI source
designated as “Blu-Ray DVD,” and connected to Input
