1. Introduction
1.1 About MRG Matrix Switcher System
MRG series Matrix switcher is a high-performance professional computer and audio signal switcher that
can be used for cross switching of multi computer and audio signal. Independent RGBHV component
and balanced/unbalanced I/O terminals make each component signal transmit and switch separately;
this design can reduce attenuation of signal transmission to minimum and output the image and audio
signal in high-fidelity quality.
MRG series switcher mostly apply in broadcasting TV engineering, multi-media meeting room, big
screen display engineering, television education, command control center etc. It provides power-fail
locale protection function, LED indicating, A/V timing & separating switching function. With RS232
interface, it can be worked with PC, remote control system and any other far-end control system
devices. The user manual takes MRG88A as example, other models can take reference from it too.
