About the Matrix 12800 Switchers
The Extron Matrix 12800 Series of switchers is a family of matrix switcher basic
module enclosures (BMEs) and an optional front panel controller (FPC 5000) that
allows you to create an video and/or audio matrix system with up to 128 inputs
and 128 outputs specifically tailored to meet your requirements. The Matrix 12800
Series includes:
•
•
•
•
•
Wideband (RGBHV and RGBS) video requires at least one wideband BME to
handle the R, G, and/or B video planes and at least one sync BME to handle the
H and/or V or the composite sync plane. A complete 128 input by 128 output
RGBHV and audio matrix consists of three video switching BMEs (one each for
R, G, and B), two sync BMEs (one each for H and V), and an audio switching BME
with, optionally, an FPC 5000 (figure 1-1).
The rear panel of the sync or wideband video BME features a full complement of
input and output BNC connectors, and the rear panel of the audio BME features a
full complement of input and output captive screw connectors. The full
complement of connectors permits the switcher to be upgraded or expanded to
accommodate any system just by replacing or adding a new internal circuit board.
The circuit boards, fans, and power supplies are hot swappable, eliminating the
need to power down the matrix during field upgrades or expansion.
The Matrix 12800 sync switcher BME's microprocessor monitors and self-diagnoses
the controller circuit boards, the input/output (I/O) circuit boards, the power
supplies, and the cooling fans. The switcher's dual redundant power supplies and
cooling fans ensure reliable operation 24 hours a day. If a power supply or a fan
fails, the switcher can continue to operate normally without danger of overheating.
The switcher provides local visual and audio indications of the failure and reports
the failure via the Ethernet and RS-232/RS-422 links. A technician can then replace
the hot-swappable faulty component with no interruption of a mission-critical
system.
The Matrix 12800 system can be controlled with an optional FPC 5000 or via the
RS-232/RS-422, telnet, or Ethernet link using a third-party control system, a PC, or
Extron's MKP 1200 remote keypad and/or MCP 1000/MKP 1000 remote control
panels. The FPC 5000 has a large LCD touch panel that allows direct access and
total control over all presets and switching functions. FPC 5000 menus provide an
intuitive interface for quick and easy setup and programming. Extron's Simple
Instruction Set™ (SIS™) is a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple
control through a third party control system or PC without programming long,
obscure strings of code.

S-video, and composite video) from any input to any one or more outputs.
Video switcher BME — A rack-mountable 10U switcher that routes low
resolution (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) component video, S-video, and composite
video from any input to any one or more outputs.
Sync switcher BME — A rack-mountable 10U switcher that routes horizontal
(H) and vertical (V) or composite sync from any input to any one or more
outputs.
Audio switcher BME — A rack-mountable 10U switcher that routes balanced
or unbalanced audio from any input to any one or more outputs.
FPC 5000 Front Panel Controller — A rack-mountable device that permits
front panel configuration of the inputs and outputs and control of additional
