About the XTP CrossPoint Matrix Switchers

The XTP CrossPoint matrix switchers (see figure 1, on the next page) distribute and transcode signals in a variety of video and audio formats, identified by the input and output boards installed, defined in table 1, on the next page. The matrix switcher routes an input signal of a format supported by an installed input board to any combination of outputs with formats supported by installed output boards. The matrix switcher can route multiple input-to-output configurations simultaneously.
