6.0 Switch and Control Cards 

 

Switch Card, Part Number 400.100.1003 

 

 
Control Card, Part Number 400.100.1004 

 

 
Three switch cards and one control card are included in each Matrix-Hub 
chassis.  The switch cards are located in the three slots between the video input 
cards and the video output cards.  The control card is located in the rightmost 
card slot in the chassis. 
 

The switch cards (part number 400.100.1003)

 route one aspect (red, green, or 

blue) of video signal each.  In addition, the left switch card routes mouse signals 
between keyboard/mouse input and output cards, while the right switch card 
routes keyboard signals between mouse/keyboard input and  output cards.  
Monitor ID lines are switched directly between video input and output cards 
without any routing from the switch cards.  In ordinary operation, it should not be 
necessary to remove a switch card, so they are screwed into the chassis to 
preve nt accidental removal.
