About the Matrix 50 Series Switchers

The Extron Matrix 50 Series Switchers are broadcast quality, upgradeable matrix switchers that distribute any video and/or audio input to any combination of outputs. The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.

The modular Matrix 50 series are assembled from individual modules, each of which supports a discrete video or stereo audio plane, as follows:

•Composite video Matrix 50 switchers are assembled around one video module. The audio version of the composite video matrix requires a separate audio module.

•S-video Matrix 50 switchers are assembled around two video modules (one for the luma (Y) plane and one for the chroma (C) plane). The audio version of the S-video matrix requires a separate audio module.

Matrix 50 switchers with two video modules can also be used to switch two planes of composite video. If used in this way, the two planes cannot be broken away; both inputs must be routed to the same outputs.

•Component video Matrix 50 switchers are assembled around three video modules (one for the luma (Y) plane, one for the red minus luma (R-Y) plane, and one for the blue minus luma (B-Y) plane. The audio version of the component video matrix requires a separate audio module.

Component video Matrix 50 switchers can also route RGsB and RsGsBs video signals up to 150 MHz bandwidth. Switchers configured for component video can also route multiple composite video planes or S-video and composite video. If used in this way, the various planes cannot be broken away; all inputs must be routed to the same outputs.

•Audio only Matrix 50 switchers are assembled around one audio module for the stereo audio plane.

The video and audio modules are available with differing numbers of inputs and outputs to support four matrix sizes:

•Eight inputs by four outputs

•Eight inputs by eight outputs

•Twelve inputs by four outputs

•Twelve inputs by eight outputs

The audio switching can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences between audio inputs.

The Matrix 50 Series are expandable single box solutions to simple 150 MHz (-3dB) routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.

The switchers are housed in rack-mountable, 2U high, 19” wide metal enclosures. The appropriate rack mounting kit is included with each switcher. Each model has an internal 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 watts, auto-switchable power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
