Matrix System Overview

Matrix System

The Matrix Switch is a high performance system used to switch audio/video frequencies. It will cross switch multiple input/output audio/video signals through independent Y/Pb/Pr component and audio input/output terminals. Each Y/Pb/Pr component signal and audio signal is transmitted separately and switched separately, thereby minimizing signal attenuation and ensuring high definition graphics and high fidelity audio signal output.

The primary use is; TV broadcasting projects, multi-media conference halls, large display projects, TV teaching, and command control centers. It features power interruption protection during power surge, LCD display, and synchronous and separate audio/video switching functions. The RS-232 and RS-485 communication ports enable convenient communication with remote control equipment. This manual describes the SW404HD and SW808HD models.
