1.0 Matrix System Overview
1.0.1 BAX Matrix System
The BAX Matrix switcher is a high performance switching equipment for audio/video
frequencies. It is used for multiple input/output cross switching of audio/video signals. It
provides independent RGBHV component and audio input/output terminals. Each RGBHV
component signal and audio signal is transmitted separately and switched separately, thereby
minimizing signal attenuation and ensuring high definition graphics and high fidelity signal
output.
The BAX Matrix is used mainly in TV broadcasting projects, multi-media conference halls,
large display projects, TV teaching and command control centers. It boasts features of power
interruption protection during power surge, LCD display and synchronous and separate video
switching functions. Its RS-232 and RS-485 communication ports enable convenient
communication with remote control equipment. This manual describes using of the BAX-3088
model. Refer to the BAX-3088 User Manual for using of other models of matrix systems.

5.0.1 Input/Output Jacks
Referring to the different models, the video signal input/output jacks are formed by the 4th
row and 8th row BNC female connectors. The audio input/output conectors are formed by the
4th and 8th row 5-phase 3.8mm connection terminals. The BAX-3088 video signal
input/output jack channels are numbered from left to right as NO.1 to NO.8 (in two rows). The
connectors are indicated from upper to lower as R, G, B, H, and V signal terminals. The audio
signal input/output channels are numbered NO.1 to NO.8 from left to right. Refer to the drawing
on the housing for other types of connectors.
Different models of BAX matrix systems provide a different number of input/output
connectors where users can connect to different Audio/video equipment including CD/DVD
players, graphics workstations, and number display. The output connectors can be connected to
projectors, video recorders, displays and multiplexers.
5.0.1.1 RGBHV Conencting Cable
The BAX matrix supports various types of AV video frequencies and VGA signal sources.
The AV signal source equipment must have RGBHV signal output terminals; the VGA signal
source must have RGBHV signal output terminals.
The BAX matrix BNC connector connection is shown in Figure 5-2 below:
Figure 5-2 BNC Connection
If the VGA signal source equipment has no RGBHV output terminal, you are recommended
to use a VGA-RGB converter to get high quality RGB output signals.
Pleas use a 5-wire RGB signal cable for connection to input/output equipment. Connect the
R (Red), G (Green), B (Blue), H (Horizontal sync) and V (Vertical sync) BNC connectors of the
signal source equipment output terminal separately to the same channel RGBHV connectors of
the BAX matrix inputs. Also, connect the RGBHV connectors of the BAX matrix outputs to the
RGBHV input connectors of the output equipment through a 5-wire RGB signal cable.
NOTE: The RGBHV connectors at both ends of the signal cable must correspond to each
other, otherwise loss of color reproduction and even no signal output could happen.
5.0.1.2 Audio Connecting Cable
Compared to the video connecting cable, the audio connecting cable has two different ways
of connection: the balanced and the unbalanced connection.
The “Audio Inputs” and “Audio Outputs” connectors of the BAX matrix are for connection
to the video players audio signal and multiplexers.
