MSC-XDM4000 Product Manual
1 Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Matrix Switch Corporation product. This section contains a
general overview of device functionality and provides information to get you up and running quickly.
Additional sections in this manual can be consulted for more detailed information on the subsystems and
features of this product.
1.1 Device Connections
The
MSC-XDM4000
comes with a power supply adapter, a redundant power supply and a documentation CD.
Additional cables and hardware are not usually provided.
•
Power supply adapter
– A 12 Volt 10 Amp power supply adapter is provided which is connected to the
DE-9 male connector on the device and plugged into a 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power source.
•
Redundant power supply (Optional)
– The additional redundant power supply can be connected via
the second power supply connector, to provide an additional power source in the event that one of the
supplies fails or is disconnected from the power source.
•
Ethernet connector (Optional)
– Connect to a network switch with an Ethernet cable. Required for
accessing the web page interface, TCP/IP Mascot interface or for interfacing with remote control panels.
This device can also be connected directly to a computer or remote panel (supports auto MDI-X
allowing a crossover or straight through Ethernet cable to be used).
•
SDI BNC Video Inputs
– Connect SDI sources to input connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable with
BNC connectors designed for high speed SDI video applications. Unused inputs can be left
unconnected. Inputs with supported standard rate (3G, HD or SD) SDI signals will be auto re-clocked
for reduced jitter. Other non standard rates between 125 Mbit/s and 2.97 Gbit/s will be passed through
without re-clocking or jitter reduction. Adaptive cable equalization on each input can equalize input
signals from Belden type 1694A cables up to lengths of 120m (@3G), 140m (@HD) and 400m (@SD).
•
SDI BNC Video Outputs
– Connect SDI destinations to output connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable
with BNC connectors designed for high speed SDI video applications. Unused outputs can be left
unconnected. Outputs utilize standard SMPTE levels of 800mV peak-to-peak.
•
SDI SFP Video Inputs
– SFP input cards provide the means to utilize industry standard MSA SFP
modules for flexibility down to a single input. We offer fiber optic and HDMI input SFP modules and
many 3
rd
party modules may also be used. See
for more details.

•
Composite Video
– Connect composite video sources to input connectors and destinations to output
connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable with BNC connectors. Unused inputs or outputs can be left
unconnected.
•
External Audio Router (Optional)
– An additional Matrix Switch Corporation AES or analog audio
router can be utilized with this router by connecting it to the AUX/GPIO connector with a 25 pin straight
through cable, adding an additional audio level independent of SDI embedded audio.
NOTE:
The audio
router should be powered on before the video router to ensure proper initial routing state or alternatively
Preset 0 can be recalled to initialize it at any time.
•
Sync Reference (Optional)
– If switching on vertical sync pulse is desired, connect one of the Sync
Reference connectors to a sync pulse signal (NTSC, PAL or tri-level) using 75 Ohm Coax with BNC
