Extended Information
These HD (SMPTE 292) - SDI (SMPTE 259) serial digital video matrix routing switching systems employ the newest digital video automatic cable equalization and re-clocking technology.
Matrix Switch Corporation HD SDI matrix routing switchers employ a flexible and user friendly control system. In addition to a simple and logical RS232 ASCII protocol that is currently supported by a number of third party control companies, these HD-SDI switchers have other easy to use control ports. Each system has a built in web page. Unlike GUI software that must be loaded on a PC which may be OS dependent, have conflict issues or compromise system performance, the built in web page will run on any platform and with any web browser. In addition Matrix Switch Corporation offers a selection of remote control panels. These panels are TCP/IP Ethernet based, which give you the greatest flexibility in placement, quantity and how they will be networked.
The remote software update feature allows new software with new features to be easily re-loaded via the Ethernet port without the need to open up the system, use any special programming systems or development system software.
Because the optional remote control control panels are TCP/IP based there is no distance limit between the panels and the switcher electronics.
In steps of 8 inputs and 8 outputs there are 12 standard models to choose from. Each is available with either one universal 90-230VAC internal power supply or redundant power supplies.
Forced air cooling ensures low internal temperatures for long service life in the most harsh environments.
All Matrix Switch Corporation HD SDI switchers pass embedded audio.
The MSC-HD3232 flexibility can be enhanced by the addition of a separate analog or digital audio switching matrix. Contact Matrix Switch Corporation for more details.
