RGB Delay Switching The Matrix 100 can be programmed (via RS-232) to delay switching the RGB video for 1 to 9 seconds after the sync is switched. This allows the display device to be in sync before the picture arrives, providing seamless switching of the RGBS signals when switching between various frequencies.

  • Page 48: Binary/Hex/Decimal Conversion Table

    Binary/hex/decimal Conversion Table The table below shows how to convert data bytes from one numbering system to another. In Matrix 100 communications, all data bytes are identified by having bit 7 = 1, therefore it is not included in the computations.

  • Page 49: Host-Initiated Communications Protocol

    For example, the Host can send Commands to the Matrix to request data from, or send data to, the Matrix 100. After receiving a command, the Matrix 100 executes it and sends back a Response to the Host. The Response includes an error code, together with any requested data.

  • Page 50: Matrix-Initiated Communications Protocol

    Timing When Commands are sent to the Matrix 100 switcher, the response is delayed due to normal processing time. The response time has two components: RS- 232 or RS-422 bus delay and Matrix 100 processing time. Matrix 100 processing time is variable, depending on the length of the command and the matrix size.
