Matrix System Introduction
Warning:
1) matri switcher with alarm is only used as a means of interfacing alarm
equipment to other devices such as Digital Video Recorder to call out cameras.
2) In order to prevent from damaging equipment, a qualified professional must
install and maintain matri switcher according to user introductions in manual.
3) If user meet problems in the process of installing and operation, please consult
re-seller technology service center.
4) Please keep bar code of enclosure, so that we may offer after sale service on a
timely fashion.
Introduction:
Matri system is CCTV surveillance system, which has multi-channel video input, video
outputs and multi-control terminal. Standard units may control up to 1024 video inputs and
128 video outputs (higher input/outputs available). Video input can connect to front
cameras and video output can connect to monitor, or connect to DVR for recording.
Matri system can switch ma up to 1024 channels video input signal to 128 video
outputs, and it can work with multiple keyboards or computer, user may operate pan/ tilt or
camera through keyboard.
In order to add video switch function, matri system has alarm and au iliary switcher
control function to control light and switcher…etc. matri adopts plug in and plug out PCB
design, including power PCB, CPU PCB, Data PCB, video loss inspection PCB, video input
PCB , video output PCB. Matri is e tended to add video input and video output quantity.
E ternally connected equipment, such as keyboard, receiver/driver, au iliary follower,
are connected to matri system through multi-protocol, including RS232, RS485. System is
controlled by CPU PCB or multiple keyboards.
Switcher Case:
All PCB of matri is set up before leaving factory, so basically, user doesn’t need to set up
it again, if user change PCB or system deploy is changed, user need to resume it. All
switchers are on printed PCB of PCB, it can be adjusted until all PCBs are moved out from
case, but for some operations, user don’t need to pull out PCB, such as title, display position,
light adjust.
Inner Switcher:
All PCB of matri are set up before leaving factory, so basically, user doesn’t need to set
up again. If user change PCB or system configuration is changed, user need to resume it.
All switchers cards are adjustable until PCBs are removed from the enclosure, but for some
operations, user don’t need to pull out PCB, such as title, display position, light adjust.
