The future-proofed matrix backplanes are able to switch to 12.8 Gigabit per second data rates, allowing
transportation of the next generation HDMI, 4K x 2K, 3D and DisplayPort 1.1 video signals. All Input boards
e.g. DVI-I, 3G-SDI, etc. convert their respective Input signals to the widest and broadest standard for all
existing video signals – uncompressed HDMI (including embedded audio). Output boards convert the

transmission. The hybrid architecture allows signal routing between boards even if they have different
connectors. This way any input can be routed to any one or more outputs if the output interface is capable
of transmitting the signal. For example, a DVI source can be routed to an HDMI sink, but HDCP-encrypted
sources cannot be routed to non-HDCP capable DVI sinks.

MX-FR80R and MX-FR65R
Used in the MX-FR80R (and MX-FR65R) router frame, the Preview output is directly connected to the 80th
output port with a DVI splitter. Therefore this port always outputs the same signal as the 80th output (the 8th
port of the 10th output board), even if it uses a different interface (TP, OPT, etc.).
The 80th input port of the crosspoint is multiplexed between the Test input port and the 8th port of the 10th
input board. This switch is independent from the crosspoint state. The selected port (Test input or Input
board #10) will be available as the 80th input on the crosspoint switch.
Other Frames
All other frames use the Test input and Preview output just like any other ports. These ports are referred to
as the last port in the crosspoint.

MX-FR65R allows only 8.
The frame has 10 physical board slots, but will not boot up when more
than 8 input or output boards are inserted. Only the number of the
boards is limited, thus they can be used in any of the physical slots.
However, to gain exclusive access to the Test input and Preview output
ports on the MX-CPU2, it is recommended to leave the last slot empty.
For example, if the input slot #1 is empty, there can be 8 input boards
in slots #2 to #9 and the slot #10 left empty. In this case the 65 input
ports can be accessed with port numbers 9-72 and 80.
