Page 11: Features
Introduction, cont’d Features Input and output connectors — All connectors are clearly labeled as either input or output for easy installation. With the Extron virtualization/control software, a visual map can be printed for easy representation of the virtual I/Os. This feature reduces the time required for setup and programming. - Page 12 Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed at the front panel controller, over the primary and secondary RS-232/RS-422 links, or via the Ethernet link. The RS-232/RS-422 links allow remote control via two PCs or control systems.
- Page 13 Introduction, cont’d Operational reliability — The Matrix 12800 can support round-the-clock operation in mission-critical applications, using a combination of self-diagnosis, hot- swappable components, and optional redundant components. • Advanced computer-aided diagnostics — The Matrix 12800 performs self diagnostics, 24 hours a day, of the I/O cards, primary and redundant power supply voltages, controller cards, cooling status, and the overall functional status of the matrix.
- Page 14 • Dual redundant, hot swappable cooling fans — Four cooling fans are provided for ventilation and heat management. Fan and temperature sensors identify problems, which are reported locally with visual indications and remotely via the Ethernet and serial port links. Fans and the filter are easily replaceable through the front door with only a screwdriver required.

Page 35: Explaining Virtual I/O Switching
Virtualization/Control Software Explaining Virtual I/O Switching A Matrix 12800 system consists of from one to nine BMEs, each of which can have as many as 128 inputs and 128 outputs. It is usually desirable to have certain inputs switch together as a set, to follow each other. For example, if the system consists of a 128 x 128 video BME and a 128 x 128 audio BME, you want your video images on your video monitors to match the audio from the sound system (for example, video and audio from a DVD). - Page 36 The largest possible system consists of three 128 x 128 video BMEs, two 128 x 128 sync BMEs, and one 128 x 128 audio BME. This system can then be mapped to become a matrix with 128 virtual inputs and 128 virtual outputs in seven virtual planes (R, G, B, H, V, left-channel audio, and right-channel audio).

Page 37: Virtualization/Control Program
Virtualization/Control Software, cont’d Virtualization/Control Program The Extron-supplied Matrix 12800/6400/3200 Virtualization/Control software runs in a Windows-type computer and communicates with the matrix switcher via the primary or secondary RS-232/RS-422 ports or the Ethernet port on BME 0. The software provides an easy way for you to virtualize the matrix switcher and to establish rooming presets. -
Page 38: Creating A Virtual I/O SWitching SYSTem (MAp)
Creating a virtual I/O switching system (map) The following detailed example uses the Virtualization/Control software to create a virtual I/O switching system within the physical hardware. This process generates and uploads a virtual map to the Matrix 12800 hardware. The physical Matrix 12800 system consists of from one to nine BMEs, each of which can have as many as 128 inputs and 128 outputs in 1 to 7 virtual planes. - Page 39 Virtualization/Control Software, cont’d After you select the Comm port and click OK, the software looks for the Matrix system and reads its hardware configuration, the type and size of each BME. The software then reads all of the current settings, such as the ties, presets, and virtual map, and displays a graphical representation of the ties in the program window (figure 3-2).

- Page 42 If a sync BME was found, you can specify, in the Sync Config box, whether the Virtualization/Control program is to map the system using Composite sync (one plane) or Separate H + V sync (two planes). In the Ordering box, you can specify whether the program is to organize the map assignments in a repeating pattern or grouped by plane.

Page 47: Remote Controlling The Matrix 12800 SYsTem
Virtualization/Control Software, cont’d Remote controlling the Matrix 12800 system BME 0 saves the settings in non-volatile memory, so once the system is virtualized, there is no requirement to ever run the Virtualization/Control program again. However, the Matrix 12800 can be remotely operated from a PC, running the Virtualization/Control software, connected to either of the RS-232/RS-422 ports or the Ethernet port on BME 0. -
Page 48: Ties
Ties Ties appear as solid lines in various colors on main screen of the Virtualization/Control program. The different colors indicate different follow and breakaway configurations. If both video and audio are tied, the tie is indicated in blue. If video only is tied, the tie is indicated in magenta. An audio-only tie is indicated in brown. -

Virtualization/Control Software, cont’d Presets After you have created all of the ties that are needed for a specific task, the configuration can be saved as either a global or room preset. The Matrix 12800 can support up to 64 global presets and up to 10 room presets in each of up to 32 rooms. To create room presets, you must have already created rooms and assigned outputs to the rooms, see “Creating rooms within the... -

Page 51: ProgramMIng The MAtrix Offline (EmUlate MOde)
Virtualization/Control Software, cont’d Programming the matrix offline (emulate mode) The Virtualization/Control program provides an emulation mode, in which you can build and save a configuration file off-line, without connection to a Matrix 12800 system. This file can be programmed into a switcher via the RS-232/ RS-422 port using the Matrix 12800/6400/3200 Virtualization/Control program. - Page 52 If you have not virtualized the system represented by your startup file, the Virtual Configuration screen appears (figure 3-5). This screen shows how the software has mapped the physical system into a virtual system. There are several variables that you can change on this screen that affect the number of virtual planes and inputs and outputs that are available and how they are presented.
