Q: Can I use the Matrix 100 front panel on the Matrix 200?
A: Yes, but you will lose control of certain functions, such as plane breakaway, with the Matrix 100 front
panel (QuickSwitch). However, you can still do basic input to output ties.
When using a multiple matrix system, we recommend that a front panel be used with the Matrix 200.
Should there be any problems, this will simplify the troubleshooting process considerably. A Matrix 100
front panel also works fine for this purpose.
Q: How can I expand the number of inputs and outputs of the Matrix 200 if the unit is fully loaded?
A: To expand the number of RGB inputs/outputs beyond an 8 x 8 configuration it is necessary to add
additional Matrix switchers. DA’s and/or switchers can be used to tie the Matrix switchers together. See
the diagram below for an example of a 16 x 16 configuration. The use of DA’s or switchers will vary
depending on the particular configuration.
