EGE-MSI-16x16 Modüler Matrix
1. INTRODUCTION
The Modularized Matrix series are designed to route the signal of 16
sources to any connected 16 displays, providing resolution up to Full
HD 1080p/4Kx2K and WUXGA (1920x1200@60HzRB). Besides the regular
matrix functionality, the matrix models are very attractive to the
modularization design these models can be setup as a matrix of HDMI,
DVI-D, CAT5e/6/7, VGA or their any combinations (count with eight,
for example, a matrix with 8-HDMI-in/8-DVI-IN and 8-HDMI-OUT/8-DVI-
OUT), all you need to do is to swap the input or output modules as you
wish. Refers to section 8 for available module boards.
