•Dual redundant, hot swappable cooling fans — Four cooling fans are provided for ventilation and heat management. Fan and temperature sensors identify problems, which are reported locally with visual indications and remotely via the Ethernet and serial port links. Fans and the filter are easily replaceable through the front door with only a screwdriver required.

•Field upgradable, hot swappable modular design — The architecture of the Matrix 12800 allows you to repair, upgrade, or expand the matrix by simply installing a new I/O module. Hot swappable components allow the user to replace any I/O module at any time — without powering down the matrix.

•Low mean-time-to-repair — Full access to all of the internal modules and assemblies is available through the front door, providing easy maintenance and serviceability.

Switching flexibility — Individually buffered, independent matrix switched outputs. Any input can be switched to any or all outputs within a BME.

SmartControl microprocessor — The SmartControl microprocessor can determine how many inputs and outputs are in use and configures itself for ease of use in any application.

Channel to channel isolation — The Matrix 12800 Series provides excellent isolation between channels and extremely low electromagnetic emissions — perfect for minimizing signal leakage in high security or government environments.

Presets — The Matrix 12800 can be configured for several different applications without the need to change settings each time the application changes.

Video genlock — The Matrix 12800 includes broadcast quality NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video genlock capabilities that enable vertical interval switching. Vertical interval switching results in smooth, seamless transitions when switching between inputs.

Two AC power inputs — For added power reliability, some 24-hour environments provide two separate AC power sources, one as primary and the second

as backup. The Matrix 12800 has two AC power inputs for continuous connection to both power sources.

Password protection — There are two levels of password protection at log-in: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all Matrix 12800 switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select inputs and outputs, set and recall presets, and view all settings with the exception of passwords.

Rack mount — The switchers are mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide rack.
