MATRIX ROUTING SWITCHER
A matris routing switcher can contain many
differents layers, according to the kind of electric
signals :
Composite Video layer
Analog Audio (mono or stéréo) layer
S-Video (or YC) layer
YUV layer
RGB or RGBS or RGBHV layer
AES-EBU (Digital Audio) layer
SDI (Digital Vidéo) layer
Source
Objet connected on an input of the switcher.
Unconnexion
An object is unconnected when there is no link to
any source. This status is symbolized by a fictive
connexion on the first source called
« unconnected ».
7.3 STARTING
7.3.1 Power On
The software MatrixOp4 should be installed on
hard disk.
Switch Power on of the routing switcher, the PC
and the screen.
Start the system by clicking « matrixop4.exe », then
the switching program takes over and runs
automatically.
After an auto-test, the program is ready, and
positions itself on the page that has been previously
automatically protected.
It establishes the links, and transmits them to the
matrix.
The auto-test was designed to check the correct
functioning of the matrix.
7.3.1.1 SET-UP
When just installed, the software may be initialized.
The matrix may be linked. SetUp request
automatically the size of the matrix.
If fault arises :
1) Check that the routing switcher is « power on »
2) Select another port
3) Check the link between PC and Matrix unit
with the RS-232 cable
4) The LED display of the routing switcher must
lit a switching to every transmission.
5) Check if there is evidence of connection
between the devices declared in the menus and
the real configurations of the matrix. Check
that there is not more numbers than the
physical capacity of the matrix (see page 18
assignments).
Verify the whole matrix/UC and restart the
program.
7.3.2 STOPPING THE SYSTEM
Turn off of the power.
The switching off of power to the central unit (PC)
and its screen doesn’t alter the connection of the
matrix (as long as the matix is powered).
Switching off power to the routing switcher will
cease all switching actions. When switching on the
matrix, it will keep its previous configuration.
MATRIX_OP can reset the matrix however with
the “initialization” command.
7.4 ASSIGNMENTS EDITOR
7.4.1 COMMAND : Assignments
To run this subroutine, click the assignment
command. This program establishes the name and
the state of the peripherals.
It is the only moment where the numbering of the
audio and video connectors is shown.
When opening of this program, a window appears,
as well as a schematic representation of the routing
switcher and of the peripheral objects. This very
simplified schematic is as a real wiring map sheet.
