The Utah-400
Switching Matrix
A switching matrix is the internal array of inputs, crosspoints and outputs that allow a routing
switcher to perform the task of routing signals from sources to destinations. The figure below
illustrates a simple 10 X 10 switching matrix – with 10 Inputs and 10 Outputs.
Note the following points regarding the illustration:
•
Each VTR is fully connected to the matrix – all audio/video inputs and outputs.
•
A cross-point (represented by an X ) is the internal electronic connection of the input to the
output – either audio or video.
•
When the cross-point is turned " ON " the connection is made between the source and desti-
nation. The action of turning the cross-point on is known as making a " Take ".
•
When an entire audio/video array is connected in this manner, from all of the devices in
your facility, you have full routing flexibility.
•
Without re-cabling or re-patching, a device can play back one moment (as a source) and
record the next moment (as a destination).
