Quick Start — Matrix 50 Series Switchers

Installation

Step 1

Mount the switcher in a rack.

Step 2

Turn off power to the input and output devices, and remove the power cords from them.

Step 3

Cable the switcher for RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV/ component video, S-video, or composite video input and output (3).

Step 4

Cable audio models for stereo audio input. Each input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio (4). High impedance is generally over

800 ohms.

Step 5

Cable audio models for stereo audio output. Each output has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector that outputs the selected unamplified, line level audio. Connect an audio device, such as an audio amplifier or powered speakers (5).

CAUTION Connect the sleeve to ground. Connecting the sleeve to a negative (-) terminal will damage the audio output circuits.

If desired, connect a control system or computer to the Remote RS-232/RS-422 port (6).

Step 7

If desired, attach an external sync timing device to the external sync connectors (7).

Set of ties — An input tied to 2 or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to multiple inputs.)

Configuration — One or more ties or sets of ties.

Current configuration — The currently active configuration (also called configuration 0).

Global preset — A configuration that has been stored. One preset can be assigned to each input button. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
