About the Media Presentation Matrix Switcher
A media presentation switcher combines multiple A/V switchers, of different video
formats, and a program audio switcher with mute controls in one box.
A matrix switcher distributes any input to any combination of outputs and can
route multiple input/output confi gurations simultaneously.
The MPX 866 A media presentation matrix switcher combines three matrix
switchers with the following switching capabilities in a single product:
• An 8-input by 6-output VGA matrix switcher, comprising the computer video
group (computer inputs subgroup and computer/audio outputs subgroup)
• A 6-input by 6-output S-video and composite video matrix switcher, comprising
the low resolution video group (low resolution video inputs subgroup and low
resolution video outputs subgroup)
• A 14-input by 6-output primary audio matrix switcher
N
Video ties can only be made within the same group.
Audio ties can only be made to outputs in the computer/audio subgroup
(outputs 1 through 6).
