About the MatrixPRO

^Äçìí=íÜÉ=j~íêáñmol

The MatrixPRO 16x16 digital router is available in HD-SDI or SD-SDI versions:

The HD-SDI router can route HD-SDI, adhering to SMPTE 292 or SD-SDI signals adhering to SMPTE 259.

The SD-SDI router adheres only to SMPTE 259.

Both versions of the MatrixPRO 16x16 digital router provide 16 inputs and 16 outputs, and allow any input to be routed to any output (or group of outputs). The 8x router provides eight inputs and eight outputs.

MatrixPRO is an ideal switcher to provide professional-quality serial digital video signal routing. The operator can save up to eight "presets" from the front panel, and eight with the MatrixPRO Control GUI. Typical applications include live staging events, corporate boardroom presentations, and educational and training events. Remote control operation is available over RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet.

To ensure trouble-free operation, please follow all procedures in the Installation and Operation sections of this manual. Refer to Chapter 2, “Hardware Installation” and Chapter 3, “Operation” for details.

Should you have any questions regarding the operation of this unit, please consult the factory. Refer to Appendix C, “Contact Information” section for information.

Technical Description

qЙЕЬебЕ~д=aЙлЕкбйнбзе

The MatrixPRO Serial Digital switcher is available in three versions.

The 16x16 HD-SDI is a serial digital matrix switcher adhering to SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M with 16 inputs and 16 outputs.

The 8x8 HD-SDI is a serial digital matrix switcher adhering to SMPTE 292M and and SMPTE 259M with 8 inputs and 8 outputs.

The 16x16 SD-SDI is a serial digital matrix switcher adhering to SMPTE 259M with 16 inputs and 16 outputs.

The output gain is unity into 75 ohm loads. All video signals are carried on BNCs for the highest signal quality.

A matrix switcher can route any input to any output (or multiple) outputs. The matrix switcher has built in capabilities to group outputs and route a single input to that group.

The router has the ability to switch inputs to outputs during the vertical interval. In practice, this feature will be used to switch synchronous sources. Channel 1 is the source for vertical interval switching. The feature can be enabled or disabled.

If there is a signal present on channel 1, status will be reported as valid. If there is no signal present, status will be reported as invalid.

The reclocking circuits clean up marginal input signals. There are times when the signal quality is much worse than marginal, but still produces a usable picture. In this case, the reclocking circuits should be disabled because they will be ineffective at improving image quality.

The MatrixPRO 16x and 8x series can be controlled by the front panel, RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet. The MP Control GUI allows control of the MatrixPRO router from a PC via serial and Ethernet interfaces. Barco Folsom also offers the compact 1RU MatrixPRO Remote Control Panel which provides 16 input and 16 output buttons for simple remote operation of the MatrixPRO router.

The MatrixPRO product line has been specifically designed to work as the front-end switchers for the Encore Presentation System. The Encore Controller communicates with MatrixPRO analog and digital routers over an EtherNet local area network. All Controller commands are processed and issued to the array of routers without the need to specifically program each switcher. Control of each router is essentially "transparent" to the user.

Control Overview

`зенкзд=lоЙкобЙп

This portion of the manual outlines how to control all MatrixPRO functions. There are many means to control the unit available to the user.

First, the front panel is available for status and control. Two keys and a display on the MatrixPRO front panel are used for navigating through the menu system. This enables you to configure the system, to save and recall presets, and to report system status. Channel routing is accomplished by a set of front panel switches.

A second means of control is through the use of the MatrixPRO Control software. The GUI can interface to the MatrixPRO through RS-232 or Ethernet.

Barco Folsom makes a Remote Control Switch Panel for controlling the MatrixPRO remotely.

The unit can be controlled remotely by various third-party controllers.

j~íêáñmol=mçïÉêJré=fåáíá~äáò~íáçå

After plugging in the MatrixPRO to the wall socket, locate the power switch on the back of the chassis, and turn the power ON. The LEDs on the buttons will light, the display will show the Main Menu screen, and the last saved or recalled setup will be recalled.
