Introduction, cont’d Features Input and output connectors — All connectors are clearly labeled as either input or output for easy installation. With the Extron virtualization/control software, a visual map can be printed for easy representation of the virtual I/Os. This feature reduces the time required for setup and programming. Bandwidth — Bandwidth is a minimum of 375 MHz (-3 dB), fully loaded. This high bandwidth allows Extron switchers to switch everything from NTSC video to high-r

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed at the front panel controller, over the primary and secondary RS-232/RS-422 links, or via the Ethernet link. The RS-232/RS-422 links allow remote control via two PCs or control systems. The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with two levels of password protection. • Front Panel Controller — The optional FPC 5000 Front Panel Controller allows

Introduction, cont’d Operational reliability — The Matrix 12800 can support round-the-clock operation in mission-critical applications, using a combination of self-diagnosis, hot- swappable components, and optional redundant components. • Advanced computer-aided diagnostics — The Matrix 12800 performs self diagnostics, 24 hours a day, of the I/O cards, primary and redundant power supply voltages, controller cards, cooling status, and the overall functional status of the matrix. The status

• Dual redundant, hot swappable cooling fans — Four cooling fans are provided for ventilation and heat management. Fan and temperature sensors identify problems, which are reported locally with visual indications and remotely via the Ethernet and serial port links. Fans and the filter are easily replaceable through the front door with only a screwdriver required. • Field upgradable, hot swappable modular design — The architecture of the Matrix 12800 allows you to repair, upgrade, or e

Installation Installation Overview The Matrix 12800 BMEs that make up a Matrix 12800 system can be installed in a rack or a cabinet, if desired. Each BME must be connected on a daisy chain to the other BMEs in the system and cannot be separated from the other BMEs by more than 25 feet (7.6 m). The BMEs can be rack- or cabinet-mounted in any order. Give careful consideration to the location of the equipment in a room. Poor planning can result in problems. The number of cables involved c
