About the Matrix 50 Series Switchers
The Extron Matrix 50 Series Switchers are broadcast quality, upgradeable matrix
switchers that distribute any video and/or audio input to any combination of
outputs. The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations
simultaneously.
The modular Matrix 50 series are assembled from individual modules, each of
which supports a discrete video or stereo audio plane, as follows:
•
•
•
•
The video and audio modules are available with differing numbers of inputs and
outputs to support four matrix sizes:
•
•
•
•
The audio switching can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or
independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable audio gain and
attenuation compensates for level differences between audio inputs.
The Matrix 50 Series are expandable single box solutions to simple 150 MHz (-3dB)
routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered,
and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no
crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
The switchers are housed in rack-mountable, 2U high, 19" wide metal enclosures.
The appropriate rack mounting kit is included with each switcher. Each model has
an internal 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 watts, auto-switchable power supply
that provides worldwide power compatibility.

Matrix 50 Series Switchers • Introduction
Composite video Matrix 50 switchers are assembled around one video
module. The audio version of the composite video matrix requires a separate
audio module.
S-video Matrix 50 switchers are assembled around two video modules (one
for the luma (Y) plane and one for the chroma (C) plane). The audio version
of the S-video matrix requires a separate audio module.
Matrix 50 switchers with two video modules can also be used to switch two
planes of composite video. If used in this way, the two planes cannot be
broken away; both inputs must be routed to the same outputs.
Component video Matrix 50 switchers are assembled around three video
modules (one for the luma (Y) plane, one for the red minus luma (R-Y) plane,
and one for the blue minus luma (B-Y) plane. The audio version of the
component video matrix requires a separate audio module.
Component video Matrix 50 switchers can also route RGsB and RsGsBs video
signals up to 150 MHz bandwidth. Switchers configured for component
video can also route multiple composite video planes or S-video and
composite video. If used in this way, the various planes cannot be broken
away; all inputs must be routed to the same outputs.
Audio only Matrix 50 switchers are assembled around one audio module for
the stereo audio plane.
