About the TPX 88 Manual This manual provides installation, operation, and maintenance information for the Extron TPX 88 and TPX 88 A matrix switchers. The TPX switchers are 8-input by 8-output matrix switchers for routing the signals that Extron twisted pair (TP) transmitters and receivers use to distribute video and audio signals in an A/V system. - Page 11 ✡ ✡ ✡ ✝ ✝ ✝ ✝ ✝ ✝ ✝ ✝ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ s t i ✝ . y l ✦ i t i t t i ✡ s ' r TPX 88 Matrix Switchers • Introduction...

Page 14: About Both Tpx Switcher Models
LCD Projector #1 Figure 1-1 — Typical TPX 88 A matrix switcher application The TPX 88 switchers support I/O grouping, a feature that lets you virtually divide the matrix into up to four smaller sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows you to separate different signal types to avoid connecting signal types from different, incompatible, transmitter/receiver families. -
Page 15: About The Tpx 88 A Switchers
On the TPX 88 A, the switching of the audio portion of the TP link can either be linked with the video portion (audio follow) or independent of the video portion (audio breakaway). -
