MatrixPRO- II  
INTRODUCTION  
The MatrixPRO-II family is a ground-up development aimed at bringing new capabilities and a new  
level of performance to matrix switching.  
In order for a display to accurately reproduce the original image, every component in the video  
system must have enough bandwidth to carry the signal and be as at as possible in order to maintain  
the clarity and color delity. The MatrixPRO-IIs set a new standard in both areas.  
Bandwidth and Frequency Response  
At the heart of the MatrixPRO-II Series is a design that delivers high bandwidth and at frequency  
response to insure that the original image is switched and distributed without being altered. Proper  
signal reproduction is much more than bandwidth. Frequency response plays a vital role in the  
clarity and accuracy of an image.  
The HD Component and RGB units feature greater than 600 MHz of bandwidth to -3dB. Better,  
from 0 to 300MHz the signal is +/-1.0 dB making the MatrixPRO-IIs the highest bandwidth and  
attest matrix switchers on the market.  
RGB Delay Switching  
All models have a user denable RGB delay switch mode. When enabled and a new route  
selected, the H and V sync switch on command and black is sent down the RGB lines. This allows  
downstream equipment to lock into the new signal before anything is visible on the screen. After the  
preset interval, the RGB signal is then restored making the switch appear as clean as possible.  
Presets and I/O Groups  
The MatrixPRO-II' family offers up to 32 presets, one for each input and output button. Presets make  
a very easy way to recongure all of the routes in a system with the touch of a button. I/O groups are  
handy if there are some inputs or outputs that must be isolated from one another. An example would  
be that certain inputs from the executive boardroom may never wish to be switched to the video  
conferencing system.  
Split Mode  
The newest feature to be added to the MatrixPRO-II is Split Mode Switching. This allows each  
color channel to be switched independently. Take an 12x8 RGBHV matrix as an example. Inputs  
1-4 could be assigned to be RGB while the Red channel on inputs 5-8 can be composite while the  
Green and Blue channels on inputs 9-12 are S-Video. This allows 1 physical matrix switcher to  
perform the duties of several units saving money by ensuring that the switching capabilities are  
present as video types and resolutions are upgraded in the future.  
Stereo Audio  
The stereo audio option provides balanced and unbalanced stereo audio switching with independent  
input trim control and output volume control. Independent input gain switches allow unity or +14 dB  
MatrixPRO- II  
11  
gain settings for each input to maintain optimal S/N ratio.  
Serial and IP Control  
The MatrixPRO-II command set is an easy to follow easy to implement ASCII command set that  
gives control systems complete access to all functions. Each unit is equipped with an RS-232 serial  
port along with an IP port for today’s remote communications systems.

INSTALLATION  
ENVIRONMENT  
The Matrix rack unit should be mounted in a rack where an AC power outlet is nearby. It is a  
direct AC plug in unit via the supplied EIA power cord. The front and back of the unit should be  
positioned so that both the installer and operator can conveniently access the front and back for  
wiring and adjustments.  
Check each the manufacturer's recommendations on cable requirements and termination. Use stan-  
dard approved wiring practices.  
The integrity of all audio and video sources should be pretested BEFORE they are connected to  
the Matrix rack. This holds true for the display devices as well. Simply direct connect the various  
sources and displays to pretest the cable runs and equipment. The tested equipment can then be con-  
nected to the Matrix rack unit. All terminations should have "ID" cable markers to aid in cabling and  
troubleshooting.  
In installing the Matrix rack unit in a suitable manner, the following is required:  
1.  
TMRA – The maximum recommended ambient temperature (TMRA) for the Matrix is 40°C.  
2.  
Ambient Temperature Inside the Rack – The ambient temperature inside the rack should not  
exceed 40°C.  
3.  
Air Flow – Installation of the Matrix inside the rack should not impede air ow.  
4.  
Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the Matrix inside the rack shall not result in a hazardous  
condition due to uneven loading.  
5.  
Circuit Overloading – Refer to equipment nameplate ratings when addressing branch circuit  
and/or overcurrent protection requirements.  
6.  
Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of the Matrix shall be maintained after rack mounting.  
Note – Earthing via the rack could be required if supply connection is not made directly to branch  
circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

VIDEO TYPE  
A unique feature of the MatrixPRO-II series is the ability to congure inputs (and outputs) for not  
only the default source type, but also be able to split the port in order to input other source types.  
When an input is set to split mode, an RGB matrix port can be congured as:  
• One RGB port, (Default)  
• One Component video  
• One S-Video and one composite  
• Three Composites.  
The ports will default to RGB.and NATIVE for the VIDEO TYPE.  
If the user wishes to split an input in order to use another video type(s), the user positions the cursor  
to VIDEO TYPE and presses SELECT. The user can toggle between NATIVE and SPLIT by using  
the up and down buttons.  
If the input is split and the user selects NATIVE, the front panel will simply return to the default  
video setting of RGB.

RGB DELAY  
RGB DELAY is used so that the display can sync up to the new sources' sync signals before  
switching in the new source video. RGB DELAY is only for the RGB matrix and can be set as ON or  
OFF (will not appear on the display when in split mode or on non-RGB models).  
SYNC EQU  
SYNC EQU is a feature designed to restore sync rise and fall time to compensate for losses in sync  
levels over long cable runs. There are three settings: OFF, ON, or AUTO. When set to AUTO, sync  
equalization will automatically turn on when CABLE LENGTH setting is set to 50' or more (will not  
appear on the display when in split mode or on non-RGB models)  
CABLE LENGTH (Output)  
CABLE LENGTH gives the user the ability to compensate for the length of cable from the  
MatrixPRO-II to the display. The settings are from 0 to 150 feet in increments of 10 feet. Zero feet  
is off. The user presses the up and down buttons to select the length and presses the SELECT button.  
NOTE: A nal phase adjustment of the display should be performed after cable EQ  
adjustments are completed to optimize the image quality

MatrixPRO- II  
VIDEO TYPE  
A unique feature of the MatrixPRO-II series is the ability to congure outputs (and inputs) for not  
only the default video type, but also be able to split the port in order to output video types. When an  
output is set to split mode, an RGB matrix port can be congured as:  
• One RGB port, (Default)  
• One Component video  
• One S-Video and one composite  
• Three Composites.  
The ports will default to RGB.and NATIVE for the VIDEO TYPE.  
If the user wishes to split an output in order to use another video type(s), the user positions the  
cursor to VIDEO TYPE and presses SELECT. The user can toggle between NATIVE and SPLIT by  
using the up and down buttons.  
If the output is split and the user selects NATIVE, the front panel will simply return to the default  
video setting of RGB.
