Overview
The AV Bridge MATRIX PRO combines the functionality of the AV Bridge encoder with simultaneous IP and USB
2.0 (UVC & UAC) streaming, a four-input seamless HD video presentation switcher, three Quick-Connect™
interfaces for Vaddio cameras with EZCamera™ Cat-5 connectivity, an 8 x 4 audio cross-point matrix, four
EasyMic™ ports for Vaddio ceiling or table mics, built-in echo cancellation and a web server for configuration
programming, control and remote management. The AV Bridge MATRIX PRO replaces a rack full of gear and then
some, with a single box solution which is simple to connect.
The MATRIX PRO was designed for integrators in order to reduce the complexity of AV system design and
implementation, while delivering the features and capabilities most sought after by today’s sophisticated end user.
MATRIX PRO fits into many applications, including UC and video conferencing, audio conferencing, lecture capture,
local AV presentations and more! It’s perfect for small, medium, and even large venues such as classrooms,
boardrooms, auditoriums, lecture halls, houses of worship, or anywhere that high quality audio, video, network,
streaming and control is mission critical. This 2 RU system-in-a-box pairs up with the EasyUSB™ MicPODs, Ceiling
MicPODs and interfaces with ZoomSHOT™, WideSHOT™, Vaddio HD PTZ and RoboSHOT PTZ cameras.
The AV Bridge MATRIX PRO front panel includes a delightful 8 line blue backlit LCD display for the more commonly
accessed functions such as input selection and simple operation. The Select and Cancel buttons flank the rotary
menu knob, the three allowing quick and efficient navigation of menu functions. The important, easy to enable
functions of Video and Audio Mute also have their own front panel buttons for quick access, if situations of priority
dictate their use.
The AV Bridge MATRIX PRO rear panel has just the right balance of features and simplicity. The layout belies the
unit’s significant technical abilities. Although adopting the feature sets of video switchers, camera signal transport
systems, complex audio DSPs, bulletproof contact closure logic or third party control systems, simultaneous USB
and IP streaming, as well as simple interface with Vaddio audio products, its connectivity is anything but arduous.
The design goal was to further simplify and unify a number of popular Vaddio technologies, and this goal was
realized for the benefit of both integrators and end users, easing both installation and operation
.
