1.0 Matrix System Overview

1.0.1 YX Matrix System

The YX-1044 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 YPbPr component and audio input/output terminals. Each YPbPr

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 YX-1044 Matrix is used mainly in TV broadcasting projects, multi-media conference halls,

large display projects, TV teaching and command control centers.

3.0.1 YX-1044 Front Panels

The YX-1044 Matrix Switching System supports up to 4 Output/Input switching keys on

the Front Panel allow you to switch singal quickly.

There are four kinds of module combinations as below:

Operation method No. 1: “Output Channel”+“Input Channel”.

Click the Output button then click the Input button to set the combinations.

Operation method No. 2: “STO or RCL”+“Output Channel”.

Click the STO or RCL button then click the Output button.

Operation method No. 3: single operation.

This example for EDID button, you can click the EDID button directly.

Operation method No. 4: “STO and RCL”+“Input Channel”.

Click the STO and RCL button then click the Input button to set the combinations.

 OUT1~4 keys (output channel): Indicate the Channel 1~Channel 4 for YPbPr and Audio singal

output to peripheral display. You can also use these keys to adjust the status or access the

settings.

 IN1~4 keys (input channel): Indicate the Channel 1~Channel 4 for YPbPr and Audio singal

input. You can use these keys to switch to the connection of the connected signal source

channels.

 IR1: Infrared receiver.

 All: This key allows you to set single input channel to all output channels.

- Press the “All” key.

- Select the one of the IN 1~4 keys.

- The selected IN x key will deliver the singal to all output channels.

- You can also press the “All” key and then the “OFF” key to disable all the displayed

switching settings.

 OFF: Disable the entire output channels. Press the one of the OUT x keys that you want to

disable the output channel, then press the OFF key. You can also press the “All” button and

then the “OFF” button to disable all the displayed switching settings.

 STO: The “Store Key” saves all current input/output corresponding relations.

- Press the “STO” key firstly. (Supports up to 4 sets of memories, you can select the

memory location through OUT1~OUT4).

- Arrang the Output and Input channel combinations (output channel key 1~4).

- The relation between the Output and Input settings will be saved in the memory

permanently.

 RCL: The “Retriever Key” retrieves the saved input/output corresponding relations.

- Press the “RCL” key firstly.

- Then make a random to select one of output channel key 1~4.

- The system will retrieve the saved input/output status and implement current staus

switching.

 AUDIO: The audio switching selection key switches to another output channel from the same

channel.

Example: Press the Audio key to open or close the Audio switching function. When the LED

indicator next to the Audio key lights shows switching function is open and when the light

goes off shows you have selected to close the audio switching function.

 VIDEO: The video switching selection key switches to another output channel from the same

channel.

Example 1:Press the Video key to open or close the video switching function. When the LED

indicator next to the Video key shows video switching function is open and when the light

goes off shows the switching function is close.

 LCD: LCD display shows current YPbPr matrix status and operation status.

2. Power Switch: To switch power ON or OFF the YX matrix host.

3. RS-232: Use the RS-232 connection cabel to connect the computer serial port (COM1 or

COM2) to the RS232 communication port of the YX matrix host. The computer can then be

used to control the YX matrix after installation of application software. The RS-232 port is a

9-pin female connector.

4. Switcher:

Pin1: Switch between RS-232 port and LAN port connection.

- Pin2: This Pin allows you to reset the IP value to 192.168.0.3. The steps are as below:

a. Please adjust the pin2 down and re-start YX-1044.

b. After the YX-1044 re-starts about 10sec, shut down your equipment.

c. Adjust the pin2 up, then power on YX-1044 again.

d. The IP address will be restored to the default value: 192.168.0.3

- Pin3: No definition.

4.0 YX Matrix and Peripherals Connection

Figure 4-1 YX-1044 Matrix System Connection

4.0.1 Input/Output Jacks

The video signal input/output jacks of YX-1044 are formed by the 4th and 2th rows RCA

female connectors. The connectors from top to bottom are: Audio Signal Jack. Y, Pb/Cb,

Pr/Cr.The Y signal jack is green, the Pb/Cb signal jacks are blue, the Pr/Cr signal jacks are red

and the left row audio jacks are red (right audio channel) and the right row audio jacks are white

(left audio channel) and the digital optical module.

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.

4.0.2 Audio/Video Connecting Cable

The RCA connecting terminal----audio/video port: The 4-hole RCA Jack is a conventional

audio connector. Its installation hole measures 14x18mm.

YPbPr Connector—Standard Video Input (3-RCA) Connector:

Type: Video connectors are in set (Y, Pb, Pr) (Green Y, Blue Pb, Red Pr)

For YX matrix YPbPr RCA jack connection, see Figure 4-2 below:

Figure 4-2 YPbPr-RCA Connecting Cables

RCA, an abbreviation for lotus socket, is a DVD component (YpbPr) socket.

The YpbPr connector is a high definition digital TV connector (color contour YpbPr)

capable of connecting with high definition digital set-top box, satellite receiver and various high

definition monitors and TV equipment.

Color difference output (YPbPr) connector separates the modulated Y, PB and PR signals.

It separates the colorimetry C signal into blue b-Y color difference and red r-Y color difference

and uses 3 cables for separate transmission to improve display resolution. This way, it ensures

the largest bandwidth of colorimetry and averts interference to the signals because the signals are

transmitted by 3 separate cables and each cable is being properly sleeved.

The Audio Connecting Cable:

Type: The audio connecting cables are in set for left and right channels (R for red and L for

left).

Connection of the RCA connector of the YX matrix audio is as shown in Figure 4-3 below:

Figure 4-3 AUDIO RCA Connecting Cables

The RCA connector uses coaxial signal transmission with the axial for signal transmission

and the outer ring for grounding. It can be used to transmit digital audio signals and modulated

video signals. Generally, the RCA audio connectors are in pairs separately indicated by red for

the right audio channel (R for right) and black or white for the left audio channel (L for left). The

RCA stereo cable is in one set for both left and right audio channels with each channel in one

cable.

The YX-1044 matrix “Audio Inputs” and “Audio Outputs” can be separately connected to

the audio signal connector of the video recorder and a multiplexer.

Connection Method: Use the RCA (often referred to as the lotus socket) connector for

connection. You are recommended to use the 14 x 18mm 4-hole RCA JAYK connector for

connection to input and output equipment. Connect the RCA video and audio connectors of the

signal source equipment output terminal to the same channel RCA connector of the YX matrix
