Introduction
About the Matrix 12800 Switchers
The Extron Matrix 12800 Series of switchers is a family of matrix switcher basic
module enclosures (BMEs) and an optional front panel controller (FPC 5000) that
allows you to create an video and/or audio matrix system with up to 128 inputs
and 128 outputs specifically tailored to meet your requirements. The Matrix 12800
Series includes:
• Wideband video switcher BME — A rack mountable 10U switcher that
routes video (red [R], green [G], and blue [B] video planes, component video,
S-video, and composite video) from any input to any one or more outputs.
• Video switcher BME — A rack-mountable 10U switcher that routes low
resolution (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) component video, S-video, and composite
video from any input to any one or more outputs.
• Sync switcher BME — A rack-mountable 10U switcher that routes horizontal
(H) and vertical (V) or composite sync from any input to any one or more
outputs.
• Audio switcher BME — A rack-mountable 10U switcher that routes balanced
or unbalanced audio from any input to any one or more outputs.
• FPC 5000 Front Panel Controller — A rack-mountable device that permits
front panel configuration of the inputs and outputs and control of additional
system features.
Wideband (RGBHV and RGBS) video requires at least one wideband BME to
handle the R, G, and/or B video planes and at least one sync BME to handle the
H and/or V or the composite sync plane. A complete 128 input by 128 output
RGBHV and audio matrix consists of three video switching BMEs (one each for R,
G, and B), two sync BMEs (one each for H and V), and an audio switching BME
with, optionally, an FPC 5000 (figure 1-1).
The rear panel of the sync or wideband video BME features a full complement of
input and output BNC connectors, and the rear panel of the audio BME features
a full complement of input and output captive screw connectors. The full
complement of connectors permits the switcher to be upgraded or expanded to
accommodate any system just by replacing or adding a new internal circuit card.
The circuit cards, fans, and power supplies are hot swappable, eliminating the need
to power down the matrix during field upgrades or expansion.
The Matrix 12800 sync switcher BME’s microprocessor monitors and self-diagnoses
the controller circuit cards, the input/output (I/O) circuit cards, the power
supplies, and the cooling fans. The switcher’s dual redundant power supplies and
cooling fans ensure reliable operation 24 hours a day. If a power supply or a fan
fails, the switcher can continue to operate normally without danger of overheating.
The switcher provides local visual and audio indications of the failure and reports
the failure via the Ethernet and RS-232/RS-422 links. A technician can then replace
the hot-swappable faulty component with no interruption of a mission-critical
system.
The Matrix 12800 system can be controlled with an optional FPC 5000 or via
the RS-232/RS-422, telnet, or Ethernet link using a control system, a PC, or
Extron’s MKP 1200 remote keypad and/or MCP 1000/MKP 1000 remote control
panels. The FPC 5000 has a large LCD touch panel that allows direct access
and total control over all presets and switching functions. FPC 5000 menus
provide an intuitive interface for quick and easy setup and programming.
Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) is a set of basic ASCII code commands
that provide simple control through a third party control system or PC without
programming long, obscure strings of code.

Features
Input and output connectors — All connectors are clearly labeled as either input or
output for easy installation. With Extron’s virtualization/control software,
a visual map can be printed for easy representation of the virtual I/Os. This
feature reduces the time required for setup and programming.
Bandwidth — Bandwidth is a minimum of 375 MHz (-3 dB), fully loaded. This
high bandwidth allows Extron’s switchers to switch everything from NTSC
video to high-resolution computer video.
Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP
unmanned, remote locations, it is vital to know that sources are active and
switching. Extron’s exclusive DSVP confirms that input sources are active
by scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP provides instantaneous
frequency feedback for composite sync or separate horizontal and vertical
sync signals via the switcher’s RS-232/RS-422 port. The frequency
information can be displayed on any control system or in a Windows®-based
control program on a local-area network (LAN) or internet (IP) connection
(figure 1-2).
™
) — In critical environments or
PRELIMINARY

Matrix 12800 Switchers • Introduction
Figure 1-2 — DSVP data display
Rooming — Each Matrix 12800 system can be programmed to group multiple
outputs to specific “rooms”, allowing them to have their own presets. The
system can have up to 32 rooms, each of which can have up to 10 presets.
™
Triple-Action Switching
(RGB delay) — RGB delay blanks the screen when the
matrix switcher switches to a new RGB video source. The new sync signals
precede the RGB signals, so there is no noise-filled scramble shown during
the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is user
adjustable up to five seconds via SIS and Windows program control.
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of
presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed at the front panel
controller, over the primary and secondary RS-232/RS-422 links, or via the
Ethernet link. The RS-232/RS-422 links allow remote control via two PCs
or control systems. The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with two
levels of password protection.
• Front Panel Controller — The optional FPC 5000 Front Panel Controller
allows easy configuration of inputs and outputs, as well as control of
additional system features.
• Virtualization/control software — For RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet remote
control from a PC, Extron includes its Windows-based control software with
every matrix switcher. This icon-driven software uses a drag-and-drop/
point-and-click interface to make I/O configuration and other customization
functions simple and convenient. The Windows-based control program also
has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher configuration file at the
home office and then download it for use on site.
• Simple Instruction Set (SIS) — The SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands
that provide simple control through a PC or control system. Instead of
programming in long, obscure strings of code, SIS makes it easy to operate the
matrix using RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.
• Remote control — The Matrix 12800 switchers are remote controllable, using
an MKP 1200 control keypad and/or an MCP 1000 master control panel and
any combination of MCP 1000 slave control panels and/or MKP 1000 slave
control keypads. Each MCP 1000 can be used for one-touch switching for a
particular output and for selecting global presets. The MKP 1200 and each
MKP 1000 is dedicated to an output and can be used to select a different input
for that output or to select a preset.
The MKP 1200 is directly connected to the MCP/MKP Comm port on
BME 0 of the Matrix 12800 system.
The MCP 1000 master control panel is connected to one of the
RS-232/RS-422 ports. MCP 1000 slave control panels and/or MKP 1000
slave control keypads are connected to the MCP 1000 master control
panel. The remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile
buttons for quick selection.

Operational reliability — The Matrix 12800 can support round-the-clock operation
in mission-critical applications, using a combination of self-diagnosis, hot-
swappable components, and optional redundant components.
• Advanced computer-aided diagnostics — The Matrix 12800 performs self
diagnostics, 24 hours a day, of the I/O cards, primary and redundant power
supply voltages, controller cards, cooling status, and the overall functional
status of the matrix. The status can be monitored off-site for unmanned
applications via the Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 communications ports.
• Dual redundant, hot swappable controller cards — The primary and
redundant controller cards are internally mounted. The primary and
redundant controller cards can each initiate configuration changes or other
matrix switcher operations. Each card has an RS-232/RS-422 port for
connection of a PC or control system. Redundant controllers mean zero
downtime for the system. There is no loss of functionality should one of the
controller cards fail. A failed controller card is easily replaceable through the
front door with no tools required. Hot swappable controllers allow the user to
replace either at any time — without powering down the matrix.
• Dual redundant, hot swappable power supplies — The internally mounted
primary and redundant power supplies are configured to automatically switch
over from a primary supply to a hot redundant supply in the case of a failure.
The complete power circuit, from the plug, through the power supplies,
to the power’s insertion onto the power distribution plane, is separate
and redundant (figure 1-3). If the installation includes uninterruptible or
completely separate power sources, the switcher remains powered up through
any power interruption short of a simultaneous loss of power on both power
sources.
PRELIMINARY
Figure 1-3 — Redundant power supply backs up primary
The ready hot redundant power supplies means zero downtime for the system
and no loss of functionality should one of the primary supplies fail. Should
a primary power supply fail, the redundant power supply immediately
assumes the load of the failed primary supply. A failed power supply is easily
replaceable through the front door at any time — without powering down the
matrix, and with no tools required.

Definitions
The following terms apply to Extron Matrix Switchers, and are used throughout
this manual:
Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied
to more than one input.)
Configuration — May consist of one tie or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently being used (also
called configuration 0).
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. The Matrix 12800
can support up to 64 global presets. When a global preset is retrieved from
memory, it becomes the current configuration.
Room — A Room consists of a smaller subset of virtual outputs that are logically
related to each other, as determined by the operator. The Matrix 12800
supports up to 32 rooms, each of which consists of from 1 to 16 virtual
outputs.
Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of virtual outputs in a single
room that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory,
it becomes the current configuration. The Matrix 12800 supports up to 10
room presets per room. Selecting a room preset only changes the ties to
outputs that are assigned to that room. All other ties outside the room are not
affected.

Installation Overview
The Matrix 12800 BMEs that make up a Matrix 12800 system can be installed in a
rack or a cabinet, if desired. Each BME must be connected on a daisy chain to the
other BMEs in the system and cannot be separated from the other BMEs by more
than 25' (7.6 m). The BMEs can be rack- or cabinet-mounted in any order.
Give careful consideration to the location of the equipment in a room. Poor
planning can result in problems. The number of cables involved can result in a
cluttered appearance. Power and ventilation requirements are a consideration.
Although a BME is not noisy by itself, the background noise generated by a rack of
Matrix 12800 switchers could be distracting.
The following restrictions apply to installing BMEs:
• OneBMEmustbeassignedtheaddressofBME0.
• AsyncswitchercannotbeBME0.

Rack Mounting the Switcher
The Matrix 12800 sync, wideband video, video, and audio BMEs are rackmountable, 10U high, 17.5" wide (19" wide, including rack ears) metal enclosures.
The appropriate rack mounting kit is included with the switcher. Rack mount the
switcher as follows:
UL guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation
of the Matrix 12800 switcher BME into a rack.
1
. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by Extron.
. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
2
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
3
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
4
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
5
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to
supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use
of power strips.
122 °F (+50 °C)

3 and 4). Set the next BME after the audio BME to the audio BME’s set
address number plus 2 (for example, if the audio BME is set to address 3, set
the next BME to address 5).
Sync BMEs cannot be set to address 0.

Primary and Secondary RS-232/RS-422 ports — For systems consisting of

a single switcher or for BME 0 on a multi-BME system, connect host devices
(such as computers or touch panel control systems) or MCP 1000 remote
control panels (refer to the MCP 1000 Remote Control Panel User’s Manual) to
the Primary and Secondary RS-232/RS-422 ports (figure 2-4). These 9-pin D
connectors provide for serial RS-232/RS-422 control of the matrix switcher.
Figure 2-5 shows how to wire the connectors.
Both ports are connected to both controller circuit cards; a redundant
controller is not required to use the Secondary RS-232/RS-422 port.
Figure 2-4 — Connecting host controller(s)
Figure 2-5 — RS-232/RS-422 port pinout
After the BMEs have been virtualized, the system can be controlled through
this connection using the PC or other host system that can generate the proper
commands.
The Matrix 12800 Switchers are factory configured for RS-232 control. To use
the switcher under RS-422 control, you must change an internal DIP switch.
See chapter 6, “Upgrades and Maintenance” for details.
The default communications rate is 9600 baud. Baud rates of 19.2, 38.4, and
115 are also available, see chapter 6, “Upgrades and Maintenance” for details.
If equipped with a redundant controller, the primary and redundant controllers
must be configured for the same communications protocol and transfer rates.

Virtualization/Control Software
The Extron-supplied Matrix 12800 System Virtualization/Control software, which
runs on a Windows-type computer and communicates with the matrix switcher
via the Ethernet and/or the RS-232/RS-422 ports on BME 0, provides an easy way
to virtualize the matrix switcher and to set up ties and sets of ties. Virtualization
is required before system operation to map the virtual inputs and outputs to the
physical inputs and outputs.
PRELIMINARY
N
The program is compatible with Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows ME,
Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Updates to this program can be downloaded
from the Extron Web site (www.extron.com).
Installing the software
N
The program is contained on the Extron Software Products disk. Install the
software as follows:
1
The Extron software disk window appears (figure 2-7).
If your Matrix 12800 switcher was previously set up for RS-232, and your
computer comm port uses RS-422, you must change an internal DIP switch.
See Chapter 6, “Upgrades and Maintenance”, for details.
Matrix 3200/6400 switchers use the same software as the Matrix 12800.
. Insert the disk into the drive. The installation program should start
automatically. If it does not self-start, run Launch.exe from the disk.

port, or to select Emulate mode. After you select the Comm or Ethernet port, the
software looks for the Matrix system, reads its configuration, and then displays it in
the Extron’s Matrix 12800 Control Program window.
N
Virtualize the system using the detailed instructions in chapter 3, “Virtualization/
