MATRIX SWITCHERS
5
4.1 BACK PANEL CONTROL
The MAX Series Matrix Switcher offers great
flexibility in configuring the switcher. Each portion
of the signal can be controlled independently or
in any desired grouping. This allows use of the
switcher with a variety of signal formats, and
allows multiple independent switchers in one
enclosure. For example, MXR0804-V3A0 can be
used as three 8x4 Composite Video Switchers or
as one 8x4 Composite Video with one 8x4 S-
Video Switcher.
4.2 H & V SYNC, COMPOSITE SYNC
The horizontal and vertical sync ports are
designed to handle TTL and Analog Sync
signals. The two sync ports will switch
simultaneously when controlled separately from
video ports. The independent control of video
and sync portions of the signal allows use of the
sync delay switching function. The delay in
switching between video and sync insures noise-
free (glitch-free) switching between any
channels.
4.3 AUDIO PORTS (L&R)
The MAX Series Matrix Switcher is available with
either mono or stereo balanced audio inputs and
outputs for clear quality sound. The terminal
block connectors used for Audio simplify the
connection of the Audio signal.
4.4 RS-232 PORTS 1&2
The MAX Series Matrix Switcher is equipped
with two RS-232 ports. This allows control of the
switcher from two different locations. The RS-
232 ports can be used to control other devices,
such as projectors, by the switcher. The front
panel switches can be programmed to activate
RS-232 commands to be sent to the projector.
