Chapter 1 • Introduction to the Matrix 3200 & 6400 Wideband Video/Sync Switchers
The Wideband Video Switcher is a 230 MHz bandwidth high resolution matrix
switcher. It is available in a rack-mountable 5U (Matrix 3200) or 7U high (Matrix
6400) metal enclosure with internal universal switching power supply.
A single Matrix 6400 will support up to 21x21 RGB matrix switching. Up to three
Matrix 6400 switchers can be linked together to provide 64x64 RGB matrix
switching capability.
Systems consisting of only Wideband Video Switchers will not be capable of
switching RGBS or RGBHV video, a separate Sync switcher will be required for
those formats. Sync switchers are available in rack-mountable 5U and 7U metal
enclosures with internal universal switching power supplies. Matrix switching of
Vertical, Horizontal or Composite sync signals are supported by the 5U (up to
32x32) and 7U (up to 64x64) Sync switchers. Sync switcher(s) are linked with
the Wideband switcher system so that video and sync switching occur
simultaneously,
In most installations an RS-232 program will be used to control the Wideband
Video Switcher system. Control can be from a PC using Extron's Windows®
control software, a touch screen or any other user-supplied controlling device,
such as AMX, Crestron, etc., that is capable of generating the proper
commands. An optional Front Panel Controller enables the user to perform most
configuration operations at the switcher. See Page 1-3 for a description of RS-
232 Virtual Control and how the Wideband Video Switcher fits into a Matrix
3200/6400 Wideband Video/Sync system.
