Matrix Switching System—Instruction Manual

Input/Output Jacks

Dependent on the matrix model installed, the video signal input/output jacks are arranged in either 4 or 8 columns of RCA female connectors. The connector rows from top to bottom are: Y video (green), Pb/Cb video (blue), Pr/Cr video (red), right audio signal (red), and left audio signal (white). The input and output jack channels are numbered from left to right as 1 to 8 (or 1 to 4). Refer to the drawing above for other types of connectors. The model numbers of the matrix systems describe the number of input/output connectors. Example: Model SW404HD has 4 input sets and 4 output sets.

Connecting Audio/Video Cable

The matrix supports various AV video signal sources. Users can connect inputs and outputs to different audio/visual equipment such as: CD/DVD players, graphics workstations and number displays, projectors, video recorders, displays, multiplexers, and etc.

Audio/Video Ports

The RCA Jack used is a standardized audio/video connector. It uses coaxial signal connections in the center conductor and the outer ring for grounding. It will transmit digital audio signals and video signals.

Video I/O (3-RCA) Connectors

The Y/Pb/Pr connector is a high definition digital TV connector (color contour Y/Pb/Pr) capable of connecting with high definition digital set-top box, satellite receiver and various high definition monitors and TV equipment. There are separate connectors for the Y, Pb, and Pr signals.

Audio I/O (2-RCA) Connectors

Connection of the RCA audio cables is as shown below: Normally RCA audio connectors are in pairs separately indicated by red for the right audio channel (R for right) and black or white for the left audio channel (L for left). The RCA stereo cable is in one set for both left and right audio channels with each channel in one cable.
