Powerful Matrix Control Functions of Sony HDS-X5800/X3000 Series
The introduction of the Sony multi bit-rate routing switchers has become an effective way of
solving the problems caused by the rapid increase in the number of signal formats. Their
benefits include:
Space and cost saving
• SD SDI & HD SDI in a single frame under the same control
Flexible and simple SD/HD migration
Efficient use of conversion equipment
• Sharing up/down converters between multiple signal paths

Using the HDS-X5800/X3000 Series to Simply Operation with Signal Coexistence
The multi bit-rate matrix system only becomes an effective signal management system when it is
combined with various control functions. In particular, the equipment expansion method shown
In Figure-1 requires down conversion and D/A conversion each time HDTV signal elements are
taken into analog equipment and cannot be implemented without the tie-line function described
below.
The HDS-X5800/X3000 Series not only provides complete compatibility with control systems
used with legacy Sony routing switchers but also fully utilizes the many matrix control functions
developed by Sony.
