imageMATRIX 400 is a family of 400MHz bandwidth Matrix Routing Switchers
that includes multiple models. The maximum matrix size to be released
in the initial phase is a 16x16 RGBHV with Stereo Audio. This will
be expanded to 32X32 RGBHV in the very near future, with larger
matrix sizes beyond that.
The initial series is designed around two basic video switch cards,
an 8X8 and a 16X16 matrix, using similar control software. These
basic cards will be able to switch a wide variety of video signal
formats in multiple Input/Output configurations. In addition to
RGBHV, versions are available for YUV, YPbPr, YC (S-Video) and Composite
Video. SDI formats will be addressed in future models. The architecture
supports mixed signal formats, so for example, an RGBHV matrix can
also accommodate YUV, YPbPr, Composite and YC signals in the same
matrix. The control software can be programmed for Group Switching,
which can prevent an input being routed to an incompatible output.
Because of the high bandwidth, the IM-400 series is ideally suited
for High Definition Television applications. HDTV signals in both
YPbPr and RGBHV formats can be accommodated within the same matrix.
Control is provided via Front Panel Pushbuttons with an LCD readout
or Remote Control Panels. An RS-232 interface is provided for interfacing
with third party control and automation systems. A Windows-based
Control Panel software package is included to provide complete control
of the IM-400 from a PC.
