Feature Descriptions
Virtual Control – Logical assignment of physical Input/Output connector.
Microprocessor Control – A Microprocessor enables the Matrix 3200/6400
Video switcher to be programmed from a host system, or from the optional
Front Panel Controller (FPC 1000).
Global Preset configurations (32 +1 ) – Thirty-two Global Preset
configurations plus the current I/O configuration are stored in nonvolatile
memory. As new configurations are developed, they may be stored as
Global Presets (up to a total of thirty-two) in the Preset memory. Any preset
may later be recalled – instantly setting the switcher to the desired
configuration.
Room configurations – 10 Room configurations with 10 Presets for each
Room enables 10 different remote locations to control switching for that
particular location using an optional MKP 1000 or MCP 1000 Remote
Keypad. Room Configurations may be significantly different from room to
room and would probably only include a select number of inputs and outputs
per room.
Memory – Nonvolatile memory contents remain valid after power is removed
normally or due to a power failure.
RS-232/RS-422– The Matrix 3200/6400 Video Switcher can be controlled by
any remote Host system with serial communications capability.
Rack Mountable metal enclosures – Matrix Video Switchers are housed in
5U high, rack mountable-metal enclosures. An internal switch mode power
supply is standard for all models.
Modular Design – The modular design of the Matrix 3200/6400 Video
Switcher provides flexibility and expandibility by allowing users to purchase
only the modules required for their systems. BMEs may also be upgraded by
adding output video cards (8 outputs/card).
Redundant Power Supply (Optional) – If the main power supply fails, the
Redundant Power Supply will take over automatically.
FPC 1000 Front Panel Controller (Optional) – The FPC 1000 mounts in
place of the blank access panel in the master module (BME #0) and enables
the user to perform most configuration operations at the switcher. See FPC
1000 User’s Manual (Extron Part #68-355-02).
