What is a Matrix 3200/6400 Video Switcher?

The Matrix 3200/6400 Video Switchers may be used with composite video, S-Video and component video. The Switchers are housed in 5U high rack- mountable metal enclosures with internal universal switching power supplies. They may be used as stand-alone video switchers or as part of a Matrix 3200/ 6400 system switcher.

In most installations an RS-232 program will be used to control the Matrix 3200/ 6400 Video Switcher as a stand-alone or as part of a system switcher. Control can be from any user-supplied controlling device capable of generating the proper commands such as a PC using Extron’s Windows® control software or AMX, Crestron, etc. An optional Front Panel Controller enables the user to perform most configuration operations at the switcher.
