RS-232 Cabling Notes:
For RS-232 cabling, use a standard Cat-5 (if you can still find Cat-5) or Cat-5e/6 cable with
real
RJ-45 connectors
(568B termination) from the RS-232 port on the back of the MATRIX PRO to the camera’s RS-232 Port. This
applies to the EZ Power/Video ports as well.
More Notes:
Use of pass-thru type RJ-45 connectors is
highly discouraged
. The Vaddio Cat-5 wiring
standard uses pins 1, 2, 7 and 8 on both the power/video and the control Cat-5e cables. The pass-through
connectors have proven to provide insufficient connectivity for these important signals. They are OK for
voice and data that use the center pins only, but not for cabling systems that use all the pins.
Auto Configured Video Input Resolutions:
•
The AV Bridge MATRIX PRO automatically configures and matches the input resolution for each camera video
output connected (with active video output) to an Input port.
•
For Inputs 1 through 3, it will scan and select from 1080p/60 Hz (1920x1080) to 640x480@60 Hz.).
•
For Input 4, it will scan and select HDMI and RGBHV resolutions. If those auto scanned resolutions/settings
aren’t as desired, they may be selected in the web UI.
Additional Programming:
Review the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO Menu Structure for additional information on
programming specific parameters. For API and Programming Language, see information in the Appendix.
Basic Trigger Configuration
Trigger inputs are contact-closure style (shunt to Ground), as provided by Vaddio StepVIEW Mats or AutoVIEW IR
Sensors, PresenterPOD System, 5-Wire microphones or any other dry closure devices from GPIO ports of control
systems to a simple switch. Both “G” ground lugs are electrically common, one leg of each trigger device can be
wired with common grounds. Up to 10 physical triggers can be attached and assigned logic (See Input Trigger
Programming section for configuration).
