Wideband RGB Matrix Switcher
Crestron
CEN-RGBHV
High Bandwidth Matrix Router
The CEN-RGBHV is a high bandwidth matrix switcher capable of routing up to
eight (CEN-RGVHV8X4, CEN-RGBHV8X8), 12 (CEN-RGBHV12X4,
CEN-RGBHV12X8) or 16 (CEN-RGBHV16X16) computer or video sources to up
to four (CEN-RGBHV8X4, CEN-RGBHV12X4), eight (CEN-RGBHV8X8,
CEN-RGBHV12X8) or 16 (CEN-RGBHV16X16) display devices. Its five matrix
levels accommodate any combination of analog RGBHV, HD/component,
S-video and composite signals. Proven flat response achieves optimum performance
even at the highest bandwidth. Selectable sync impedance on every input helps
accommodate varying cable lengths.
Glitch-free Switching
Video-follow-sync switching ensures a glitch-free transition when selecting between
non-synchronous sources. Blanking time is independently adjustable per output from
0 to 10 seconds, allowing each display device time to lock to the new sync signal
before displaying the video image whenever a new source is selected. A sync
reference input is also provided to support vertical interval switching of genlocked
sources.
Sync Detection
Video sync detection on each input measures the H and V sync rates of every RGB
source and allows their values to be viewed on the front panel display, control
system touchpanel or RoomView
®
software.
Professional Stereo Audio Matrix
A stereo audio matrix is also included (8 x 4 on the CEN-RGBHV8X4, 8 x 8 on the
CEN-RGBHV8X8, 12 x 4 on the CEN-RGBHV12X4, 12 x 8 on the
CEN-RGBHV12X8 and 16 x 16 on the CEN-RGBHV16X16), supporting both
balanced and unbalanced signals. Programmable input level compensation helps
ensure compatibility with a wide range of pro and semi-pro sources. Automatic
blanking achieves a pop-free transition when switching between sources. Every
output includes volume and mute control, providing multiple channels of real-time
controllable audio signal distribution to feed multi-zone amplifiers, assistive
listening and recording equipment. Audio breakaway capability allows any audio
input or output to be linked with its respective video channel or switched
independently.
Full-featured Front Panel
The CEN-RGBHV is fully operable out of the box for use as a standalone switcher.
Featuring an informative LCD display and quick adjust knob, the front panel
supports essential switcher operation without requiring a computer or control system.
Advanced setup is available through Crestron Toolbox™ software. All signal routing
and audio compensation settings are stored in non-volatile memory onboard the
switcher.
Customizable label strips are provided on the front panel for clear designation of its
inputs and outputs using Crestron Engraver software or standard 3/8” tape labels.
Names may also be entered through software to appear on the LCD display during
operation. For security, the front panel controls can be password protected or locked
out.
