BASIC OPERATION OF A MATRIX SWITCHER
■ Crosspoint Switches
SW11 SW21 SW31 SW41
SW12 SW22 SW32 SW42
SW13 SW23 SW33 SW43
SW14 SW24 SW34 SW44
SW15 SW25 SW35 SW45

SW17 SW27 SW37 SW47
SW18 SW28 SW38 SW48
All Matrix Switchers, no matter how complicated and sophisticated they may be, depend on crosspoint switches to perform the
basic operations of the switcher. The crosspoint switches form a rectangular array of rows and columns in which any row may be
connected to any column.
In the Matrix Switcher shown above, the rows are connected to video cameras and the columns are connected to video monitors.
By closing a certain crosspoint switch we may connect any camera to any monitor.
In the example above, by closing switch SW12, camera 2 is displayed on monitor 1. Likewise, by closing SW24, camera 4 is displayed on monitor 2. In this example, camera 4 and monitor 3 are also connected, as well as camera 8 and monitor 4.
■ Spot and Sequence
Two basic operations of the Matrix Switcher are the SPOT
and SEQUENCE functions. In the SPOT mode a specific
camera is continuously connected to a specific monitor
with no interruption. In the SEQUENCE mode a series of
cameras are displayed in succession on a monitor. If
SW12, SW14 and SW16, of the crosspoint switch array
shown in the previous example, are each closed in a
sequential manner for two seconds, monitor 1 will display
camera images as shown on the right.
The duration of an camera image in a sequence is
called DWELL TIME.
A sequence pattern which repeats itself continuously, such
as the one shown above, can be stored in the memory
section of the Matrix Switcher.

In Matrix Switchers the activation (or closure) of a crosspoint switch is performed by a microprocessor. This microprocessor may
get its commands from one of three sources.
1) From a controller manually operated
2) From an external alarm signal
3) From an internal timer (clock)
Upon receiving a command signal the microprocessor retrieves the sequence pattern, previously stored in memory, and activates
the crosspoint switches in the proper order.
For example:

Synchronizing
Signal (VD2)
Unique VD2 signal is sent to Panasonic cameras to synchronize the cameras with the
Matrix Switcher, thereby preventing rolling during camera picture switching.

■ Camera, Pan/Tilt Head Control and Camera Synchronization
In addition to controlling the crosspoint switches, the Matrix Switcher can also control external devices such as Pan/Tilt Head
Units, Zoom Lenses and auxiliary circuits through the use of Control Data multiplexed with the video signals.
Also, in cases of Panasonic Matrix Switchers, a unique signal called VD2 is multiplexed with the video signals and is used to synchronize Panasonic cameras to prevent picture rolling during switching between cameras.
Control Data Controls pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris control shutter speed, back light setting, preset
position, auxiliary control, wiper and defroster.

In the Operator Registration, an operator's level, priority, password and camera access limits are determined. Up to 30 operators
may be registered.
For example:
9-1. Level Setting
Operator access to various set up functions and system operations is dependent upon the operator's level. There are five separate
levels available, with level 1 being the highest.
9-2. Priority
When two or more operators attempt to perform the same function at the same time, the operator with the higher priority is allowed
to perform the function while the lower priority operator's attempt is denied. There are 30 priority levels available in this system.
9-3. Password
All operators have a five digit long password assigned to them.
9-4. Operator Limits for Camera Access
Access to any camera's video and control of the camera's pan/tilt head may be restricted to certain operators.
10. Camera Title

12. System Controller-Monitor Partitioning
This feature is used to prevent specific WV-CU550A System Controllers from controlling the outputs of specific monitors.
It prevents an operator from unintentionally gaining control over a monitor that may not be associated with their station.
For example:
The following example demonstrates the use of both system controller-monitor partitioning and operator priority.
• Camera: 8 sets
• Monitor: 3 sets
• System Controller: 3 sets
• Operator : 3 persons
SPOT : Spot
P : Program Sequence

Setting Procedure
1. Operator No.1 has first priority . Cameras 1 - 8 can be selected by MON-1.
2. Operator No.2 has second priority. Cameras 1-5 can be selected by MON-2 (limited access due to operator partitioning).
3. Operator No.3 also has second priority. Cameras 4 - 8 can be selected by MON-3.
1. In the above system, when Operators 1 and 2 both select the camera No.3 simultaneously, the selection by Operator 1 is
allowed because operator 1 has a higher priority.
2. Operator 2 can not select camera 6 because operator's partitioning limits access to only cameras 1 - 5 by Operator 2.
3. Operator 2 can not control the Monitor 3 because controllers partitioning prevents access to monitor 3 by Operator 2.
13. Synchronizing the Sequence with External Timing
The camera switching interval (Sequence Dwell Time) can be synchronized with the time lapse mode set in the associated Time
Lapse VTR.
Select the On or Off mode to meet monitor requirements.
14. Cable Compensation / VD2
Cable Compensation
This feature is used to compensate for signal loss due to cable length.
The most suitable position for cable-loss compensation can be selected in the Set Up Menu.
