MatrixPRO™
The MatrixPRO series offers four models of wideband matrix switchers for routing analog RGBHV video
signals: 12x4, 12x8, 16x8, and 16x16. All inputs are universal and can accept computer (up to
1600x1200), composite, s-video, component video, HDTV, RGBHV and stereo audio. Each model pro-
vides for switching of RGBHV signals and two channel stereo audio (balanced and unbalanced). Each
input and output is individually isolated and buffered. These inputs can be switched to any one or all
outputs with no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
Units are rack-mountable, and each unit includes RS-232/485 capability. 12x4 and 12x8 models come
standard with the easy to operate front panel control, which allows for simple input and output selec-
tion directly from the front panel. All units can be connected to a optional Remote Control Interface
that allows for remote input and output selection. An Ethernet port for IP Control is featured on all
units.
The MatrixPRO series also features I/O grouping. This grouping allows the matrix to be divided into
smaller sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows specific outputs to
be grouped together - such as those designated for a specific video format. Each units features Vertical
Interval Switching capability to provides glitch-free switches when used with synchronous video
source. RGB delay is used when video is not synchronously locked.

MP software
Included with each unit is a copy of Folsom’s MP Control Software. A
Windows®-based control program that allows you to configure and control
the matrices for various applications.
