1.3 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
MatrixPRO
TM
16x is an RGBHV matrix switcher with 375MHz video bandwidth. It's
available with 16 inputs and either 16 or 8 outputs. Output gain is unity into 75 ohm
loads. All video signals are carried on BNC's for the highest signal quality. Audio
routing card is available as an option.
A matrix switcher can route any input to any output or outputs. The matrix switcher
has built in capabilities to group outputs and/or inputs with specific outputs.
The analog video section maintains flat response in the critical 0-10MHz band to
prevent video smearing. The analog video section has excellent crosstalk immunity,
good offset pass though, and output drive capabilities. The system can pass
2048x1536 signals with minimal degradation. The analog video section can pass
RGB, RsGsBs, RGsB, component, composite, and S-video with significant input
offset.
The horizontal and vertical sync sections reconstruct the sync signal to provide the
most accurate output sync signals.
The audio section accepts and outputs both balanced and unbalanced audio signals
on five contact Phoenix quick disconnect screw terminals. A 600 ohm resistor must
be placed across the inputs if 600 ohm characteristic impedance is required.
The MatrixPRO
TM
16x series can be controlled by the front panel, RS-232, RS-485, or
Ethernet. The MP Control GUI allows control of the MatrixPRO
TM
router from a PC via
serial and Ethernet interfaces. Barco Folsom also offers the compact 1RU
MatrixPRO
TM
Remote Control Panel which provides 16 input and 16 output buttons for
simple remote operation of the MatrixPRO
TM
router.
