Video input and output (video switchers\

NThe switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.

RGBHV (CrossPoint switchers\

The switcher can connect to up to as many as 32 (CrossPoint 450 Plus) or 16 (CrossPoint Ultra) RGBHV video sources, depending on the model. The switcher can output to as many as 32 or 16 RGBHV video devices, depending on the model.

NOn all CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers and CrossPoint Ultra matrix sizes of

8 x 16 and larger, the connectors for each video plane are grouped together (all of the red inputs grouped together, all of the green inputs grouped, and so on). Ensure that you connect the input on each video plane to the corresponding connector in the correct group (see figure 2-12).

NBoth CrossPoint models can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, or composite video by using four, three, two, or one BNC(s). If switching a video format other than RGBHV, ensure that the same video planes (R, G, B, H/HV, and/or V) are used on the switcher output as on the input.
