Features

Input and output connectors — All connectors are clearly labeled as either input or output for easy installation. With the Extron virtualization/control software, a visual map can be printed for easy representation of the virtual I/Os. This feature reduces the time required for setup and programming.

Bandwidth — Bandwidth is a minimum of 375 MHz (-3 dB), fully loaded. This high bandwidth allows Extron switchers to switch everything from NTSC video to high-resolution computer video.

Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™) — In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations, it is vital to know that sources are active and switching. The exclusive Extron DSVP confirms that input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP provides instantaneous frequency feedback for composite sync or separate horizontal and vertical sync signals via the RS-232/RS-422 port of the switcher. The frequency information can be displayed on any control system or in a Windows®-based control program on a local-area network (LAN) or internet (IP) connection (figure 1-2).

Rooming — Each Matrix 12800 system can be programmed to group multiple outputs to specific “rooms”, allowing them to have their own presets. The system can have up to 32 rooms, each of which can have up to 10 presets.

Triple-Action Switching™ (RGB delay) — RGB delay blanks the screen when the matrix switcher switches to a new RGB video source. The new sync signals precede the RGB signals, so there is no noise-filled scramble shown during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is user adjustable up to five seconds via SIS and Windows program control.
