To customize an Optima Matrix Switcher simply mix and match from the available boards, add up the total slots those boards ll, and purchase enclosure(s) to accommodate that
total. For systems comprised of 2 or more linked enclosures, AutoPatch will provide a link cable or hub at no additional charge.*
Since each board has it’s own input and output connectors, the physical signal path must be routed from inputs on the board to outputs on the same board. For multiple component
signals, such as RGBHV, boards can then be combined in logical groups via software conguration (as shown in the RGBHV example below).
As always, our trained staff is available to provide free matrix design assistance. Please contact us at 800.622.0246 or 509.235.2636 if you have questions.
*A link cable is provided with two-enclosure systems, a hub and link cables are provided with systems that contain 3 or more linked enclosures.

Standard Audio
(phoenix style connectors)
Designed for mono and stereo audio signals, all standard audio boards feature input gain control and output volume control accessible via front panel and RS-232.
Design Tip: The standard audio board connectors are designed for balanced stereo;
however, they can be wired for unbalanced stereo or balanced or unbalanced mono.

Sync (BNC connectors)
Designed for horizontal and vertical sync (H and V)
Design Tip: Each sync board contains one BNC connection per input / output
number (with the exception of the 8x8 board)+. Thus, a 20x4 board contains 20 input
connections and 4 output connections. Use two 20x4 boards to route 20x4 H and V.

The 8x8 sync board has H and V on the same board, thus it has 16 input connections
and 16 output connections. All other sync boards contain one BNC connection per
input / output number.

All Optima enclosures include a standard RS-232 control port, are NetLinx® compatible, support AutoPatch’s simple BCS serial control protocol, ship with free APControl Software and are
compatible with all leading 3rd party control systems.
Listed here are front panel control options and our APWeb Expansion Board which provides a TCP/IP control interface. Only one panel is needed when multiple enclosures are linked together
to work as one system.
For more information on the capabilities of these control options as well as additional remote options please visit amx.com
or contact the factory.
**Currently the APWeb Expansion Board is available in the 3 RU enclosure only. It is also available as a stand alone external module.
