I/O Modules
Configurations
1-1
Each Extron Matrix 200 is custom designed to the user's specifications. The
configuration is built from various combinations of ten I/O modules. The I/O
modules and possible configurations are listed below. The Matrix 200 can be
controlled from a host computer, a Front Panel Controller (FPC), or a
QuickSwitch™ Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC).
Matrix units can also be interconnected to expand the switching capabilities for
up to 48 inputs by 48 outputs. This allows for multiple switching combinations.
Matrix 200 Switchers are ordered for a specific application with a combination of
I/O modules. Each module switches one type of video signal – one for red, one
for blue, etc. One audio module switches both left and right stereo channels.
• 4 x 4 High-Resolution Analog Module (HRAM), with 250 MHz video bandwidth
• 8 x 4 High-Resolution Analog Module (HRAM), with 250 MHz video bandwidth
• 8 x 8 High-Resolution Analog Module (HRAM), with 250 MHz video bandwidth
• 4 x 4 Sync Module
• 8 x 4 Sync Module
• 8 x 8 Sync Module
• 4 x 4 Video Module
• 8 x 4 Video Module
• 8 x 8 Video Module
• 8 x 8 Stereo Audio Module
For example: a Matrix 200 designed to switch RGB, separate horizontal and
vertical sync, and stereo audio, will require the following modules: three HRAM,
two Sync and one audio modules.
Depending upon the configuration of I/O modules (above), the Matrix 200
Switcher can have up to 16 different input/output configurations. The
configuration determines how many modules are required.
