• Audio input gain and attenuation — The Matrix 12800 allows users to set the
gain/attenuation level from the front panel or RS-232 and RS-422. Individual input audio
levels may be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources.
• Audio breakaway — With breakaway switching, the Matrix 12800 can separate
the audio signal from the video signal to switch either video only or audio only. The
breakaway feature allows audio follow on any one or all channels, or the audio inputs
and outputs can be operated as a separate audio matrix.
• Trouble status indication — The SmartControl microprocessor within the CPU of the
Matrix 12800 acts as a status indicator at all times.
• Front panel security lockout — If a Matrix 12800 is installed in an unsecured
environment, an optional password feature can be implemented. When this feature
is in use, a password is required to operate the front panel controller.
• IP Link ®; Ethernet control and monitoring — An exclusive technology developed by
Extron specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments,
which enables the Matrix 12800 to be controlled and proactively monitored over a
LAN, WAN, or the Internet. An intuitive Web interface is also included for such common
functions as I/O switching, system control, and online diagnostics and monitoring.
• Rack-mountable enclosure
• Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal power
supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
deScriPtion
The Extron Matrix 12800 Series Matrix Switchers are the solution for very large-scale routing
applications that require up to 128 inputs and 128 outputs. A matrix switcher is the most
important asset in a centralized A/V switching environment. The cost-effective Matrix 12800
provides the performance, reliability, expandability, redundancy, and serviceability crucial to any
mission-critical environment. With convenient control via the FPC 5000 front panel controller,
MKP 1200 remote keypad, MCP 1000 Master Control Panel, or RS-232 and RS-422 control,
the Matrix 12800 will fit within any system design. The Matrix 12800 wideband provides
modular switching of RGBHV, RGBS, RsGsBs, RGsB, component video, S-video, composite video,
and/or two channel stereo audio. With video bandwidth of 150 MHz or 375 MHz (-3dB) when
fully loaded, the Matrix 12800 maintains the integrity of any routed signal.
The Matrix 12800 Series includes video, wideband, sync, and audio models. A minimum 32x16
configuration is provided for lowband, wideband, and sync frames, and a minimum 16x16
configuration is provided for audio. Each model includes the flexibility to upgrade to 128x128.
Internal cards are hot swappable, so there is no need to power down the matrix switcher
during field upgrades or expansion. A full complement of BNC connectors on the rear panel
and modular internal card slots are ready to be filled as needed, ensuring that the Matrix
12800 matrix switchers can grow to accommodate any system — even systems that are
still expanding. From the start, Extron offers service and support for the planning, installation,
maintenance, as well as expansion of any Matrix 12800 system.
Self-monitoring
The Matrix 12800 is an excellent choice for off-site or unmanned A/V systems, especially
sensitive, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week environments. The self-monitoring features, redundant
power, and cooling systems make the Matrix 12800 a uniquely reliable matrix switcher ideal
for mission-critical applications, such as telco, government, or military installations. Advanced
computer aided diagnostics provides 24-hour self-diagnostics of I/O boards, power supplies,
controllers, cooling fans, and general functions of the switcher. Extron’s exclusive DSVP
™ -
Digital Sync Validation Processing verifies active sources by scanning all inputs for active sync
signals. DSVP then transmits the horizontal and vertical scan rate information to the user via any
type of control system using RS-232 and RS-422 commands. A user may monitor the status
of the Matrix 12800’s sources, functions, and internal components remotely using RS-232 and
RS-422 or IP Link
® Ethernet communications.
Hot Swappable and Redundant Options
For mission-critical applications, the Matrix 12800 offers the convenience of hot swappable
I/O boards, power supplies, controllers, and cooling fans. Hot swappable components allow the
user to replace any part at any time without having to power down the matrix. This is especially
useful for crucial applications that require continuous operation of the Matrix 12800. The user
may expand the switcher or swap out components without disrupting the switcher’s functions.
The primary and backup power supplies handle both positive and negative DC voltages and
are internally mounted within the switcher. The primary power supply system is configured to
support automatic fail-over to a hot spare power supply. This means zero downtime for the
system and no loss of functionality should a power supply fail. This feature is necessary when
power reliability is crucial. Both primary and redundant controllers monitor the matrix system. If
the primary controller should fail, the redundant controller assumes management of the matrix
system, providing added dependability. Also, installation and service are easy because there
is no need for tools to remove each power supply and each is accessible through the front of
the matrix switcher.
Four cooling fans are provided for ventilation and heat management. Sensors notify the user of
any failures — through visual cues, audio cues, or RS-232 and RS-422 communications. Fans
and filters are easily accessible through the front panel for maintenance and replacement.
Rooming Presets and Virtualization
Using a feature called “rooming,” each Matrix 12800 can be programmed to assign multiple
outputs to specific “rooms,” allowing them to have their own grouped presets. Room presets
offer unrivaled flexibility and convenience, particularly in systems that require switching between
several locations. Once a room has been configured and stored, it is switched independently of
other rooms so that signals sent to one room will never “walk” in on another room.
Rooming is made possible by user-defined virtual maps, which ascribe “locality” to the physical
inputs and outputs of the Matrix 12800. Virtual mapping makes it possible to configure
the switchers in unique ways, dictated by each virtual input/output i.e., the assignment
of each individual connector, and each group of connectors, called a virtual plane. Extron
virtualization/control software makes these configurations possible. The software easily
translates the appropriate virtual map into the switcher’s memory with minimal effort on the
part of the installer.
Matrix 12800 matrix switchers offer global presets that can be set to define configurations of
specific inputs to any specific combination of outputs or to all outputs. Rooming presets and
global presets can be programmed and recalled at the front panel or by remote control.
These features are rounded out by advanced computer aided diagnostics, redundant power
supplies, redundant cooling fans, DSVP, Triple-Action Switching
™ , and a rack-mountable
enclosure. The convenient features and the hot swappable, modular design make the
Matrix 12800 the best choice for very large-scale routing applications.
