About this Document
The GV Matrix User Manual is intended to help you set up your GV Matrix to maximize its
flexibility and efficiency in the most common scenarios.
Note:
In line with our commitment to environmental preservation, only
minimal documentation (e.g. welcome letters, warranty cards) are
distributed in printed form. You can obtain the latest version of the User
Manual (this document), the Release Notes, as well as software and useful
data, from the
Documentation Library
section, and from the
Downloads
section of Grass Valley’s website.
If your GV Matrix is equipped with one or more KMX-4911 multiviewer cards, you must
consult the
KMX-4911 Quick Start Guide
for their initial configuration.
