Chapter 1 • Introduction to the Matrix 3200/6400 Video Switcher
What is a Matrix 3200/6400 Video Switcher?
The Matrix 3200/6400 Video Switchers may be used with composite video,
S-Video and component video. The Switchers are housed in 5U high rack-
mountable metal enclosures with internal universal switching power supplies.
They may be used as stand-alone video switchers or as part of a Matrix 3200/
6400 system switcher.
In most installations an RS-232 program will be used to control the Matrix 3200/
6400 Video Switcher as a stand-alone or as part of a system switcher. Control
can be from any user-supplied controlling device capable of generating the
proper commands such as a PC using Extron’s Windows® control software or
AMX, Crestron, etc. An optional Front Panel Controller enables the user to
perform most configuration operations at the switcher.
See “Matrix 3200 & 6400 Video Switcher System Overview” on Page 1-5.
