About the Media Presentation Matrix Switcher
A media presentation switcher combines multiple A/V switchers, of different video
formats, in one box.
A matrix switcher distributes any input to any combination of outputs and can
route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.
The MPX Plus 866 A (figure 1-1) combines two video matrix switchers, an audio
matrix switcher, a program audio switcher, and a digital signal processor (DSP) that
provides a wide variety of microphone pre-amplifier controls, mixers, and filters in
a single product.
