What is a Matrix Switcher?

Simultaneous access to multiple sources is what differentiates a matrix
switch from a simple switch which would only allow one source to be
viewed by multiple zones. A matrix switcher allows multiple users to
access signals from multiple source components. This type of
switching is ideal for whole-house application. For example, it may be
necessary to view the DVD player in the bedroom while, at the same
time, viewing the satellite receiver in the home theater. The P-1488 is
perfect for this application, as it allows 8 sources to be accessed by 8
different users simultaneously.

Included Accessories

P-0121 Remote Control ... The hand held remote

can be used to control the P-1488 from the front of
the unit or from another room through the use of an
IR repeating system. The IR control codes can also
be downloaded from www.channelvision.com.

Power Supply... 12VDC@2000mA

Serial Control Cable... Use when connecting the

P-1488 to a serial control device.

Rack Ears... Use when mounting the P-1488 to a
19” rack.

How do the signals get to other rooms?

We suggest the use of a high quality video distribution system such as
Channel Vision’s P-1400 zero-loss video distribution system. This unit
delivers flawless video signals over a 25 meter pre-made cable. The
cable has been precisely constructed to match the pre-amplification
provided by the P-1400. The cable must not be shortened or the
benefits of the P-1400 will be negated.

Parsing the Status Response

Many advanced control systems may require status feedback from the
matrix switcher. When the switcher responds to a status request, it will
show all of the current input and output settings.

The following example is a response to the status request command:
