Quick Start — Matrix 50 Series Switchers
Installation
Step 1
Mount the switcher in a rack.
Step 2
Turn off power to the input and output devices,
and remove the power cords from them.
Step 3
Cable the switcher for RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV/
component video, S-video, or composite video
input and output (3).
Step 4
Cable audio models for stereo audio input. Each
input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw
connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo
audio (4). High impedance is generally over
800 ohms.
Step 5
Cable audio models for stereo audio output.
Each output has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw
connector that outputs the selected unamplified,
line level audio. Connect an audio device, such
as an audio amplifier or powered speakers (5).
Step 6
If desired, connect a control system or computer
to the Remote RS-232/RS-422 port (6).
Step 7
If desired, attach an external sync timing device
to the external sync connectors (7).
Step 8
Plug the switcher and input and output devices
into a grounded AC source, and turn on the
input and output devices.
Definitions
Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to 2 or more outputs.
(An output can never be tied to multiple inputs.)
Configuration — One or more ties or sets of ties.
Current configuration — The currently active
configuration (also called configuration 0).
Global preset — A configuration that has been
stored. One preset can be assigned to each input
button. When a preset is retrieved from memory,
it becomes the current configuration.
