About the SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers
The Extron SMX System MultiMatrix Switcher is a rack mountable, modular, configurable, multi-format system available in 3U, 4U, or 5U frames. Each frame has horizontal rear panel slots into which optional I/O boards can be inserted in any configuration and signal type as listed below:
As used in this guide the terms “video model” and
“audio model” refers to any SMX switcher that switches video and audio respectively. The terms "SMX matrix switcher", SMX switcher", "SMX", and "switcher" are refer to a typical SMX System MultiMatrix Switcher.
For detailed information on the product described in this
guide, refer to the SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers

SMX Rear panel features:
a AC power connector b LAN Ethernet port c Reset button and LED d Remote serial port e - l I/O boards (optional) m Plane address switch
(for front panel see page 2-4)
SMX switchers are available in 3U, 4U, or 5U frames.
The number, type, and arrangement of I/O boards in your switcher may differ from that shown in figure 2-1.

Installation and cabling

Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and rack mount the SMX,
following the detailed instructions in chapter 2, SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers User’s Manual found online at www.extron.com.
Step 2 — Connect inputs
Connect inputs from video and/or audio sources to the applicable I/O board connectors marked “Inputs” (see table on page 1-2 for connector/ signal types).
Step 3 — Connect outputs
Connect audio and video output devices to the applicable I/O board connectors marked “Outputs” (see table on page 1-2). See page A-3 for audio connector wiring details
2-2
SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers • Installation
Also refer to the SMX System MultiMatrix Switchers User’s Manual at www.extron.com.
Step 4 — Connect control devices
LAN Ethernet port — Connect to an Ethernet LAN or WAN via this RJ-45 connector b to control the switcher from a remote location, using a PC’s Internet browser. See page A-2 for network cable termination method.
The Ethernet connection indicator LEDs marked “Link” and “Act”, indicate the status of the SMX’s Ethernet connection. The Link LED lights green when connected to an Ethernet LAN, and the Act LED flickers amber, as the devices communicate.
N
Remote port — For serial RS-232 or RS-422 control, connect a host computer or control system via this 9-pin D connector d. RS-232 protocol (default values):
• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • no parity • 8 data bits • no ow control.
N
Step 5 — Connect power
AC power connector — Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power source into this receptacle
Step 6 — Set plane address
Set the plane address (0-15) with the 16 position (0-F) rotary encoder
Do not use standard telephone cables, as they do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet. Do not stretch or bend cables as transmission errors could occur.
See chapter 4, “SIS
™
Programming and Control”, in the SMX User’s Manual, for definitions of the SIS commands. See chapter 5, “SMX Software” to install and use the control software.

Installing/swapping the Input/Output boards

The I/O boards used in any installation will vary and can be installed and changed as desired.
N
Follow the instructions on the card supplied with the boards.
All boards are hot-swappable, and can be installed without shutting
down the switcher and removing the power.

I/O Presets

The SMX has a total of thirty-two global preset (using I/O buttons 1-16) and ten plane preset (input buttons 1-10) addresses available.
Global preset — Saves and recalls configurations for all planes. Use the input buttons (for presets 1 through 16) and output buttons (for presets 17 through 32) to save any current tie configuration to any one of the presets.
Plane preset — Saves and recalls the configurations for a specific plane, without affecting the other plane connections. Use input buttons 1-10 to save a plane preset.
Global and plane preset addresses
Read all the notes below.
N
Presets cannot be viewed from the front panel unless
recalled as the current configuration. Presets can be seen using the Windows
®
-based SMX Control Program.
Refer to the SMX User's Manual.
The current configuration and all presets are stored in non-volatile memory. When power is removed and restored, the current configuration remains active and all presets are retained.
Only lit presets can be recalled. When a preset is recalled, it replaces the current configuration, and overwrites all of the current ties in favor of its own ties. Current configuration is lost unless previously stored as a preset.
Audio gain settings are not saved with the preset and do not change when a preset is recalled. Only the audio and video ties are stored and recalled.
