IRS Series Intelligent Matrix Switcher
Chapter 1 Overview
Introduction
The IRS Series products include 16X16/16X8/16X4 intelligent matrix switchers, matrix switchers with
control panels, and remote panel modules. The variety of standard models can meet the different needs
of users.
The IRS series of intelligent, HD/SD small matrix switcher are high-performance matrix products for
small and medium-sized broadcast system. This series of products can support up to 16 embedded
digital HD/SD signal output switching. They can fully meet the needs of small and medium-sized signal
scheduling system.
The products with the input signal source status display function and misuse protection mechanism
would make the broadcast system more secure and stable. And, the series products support network
control. As the simple operation, the users can simply operate the switchers without mistake.
The IRS Series products can be applied to the broadcast system on the carrier signal scheduling, are
suitable for broadcast room, master control room, studio, and other areas of a variety of real-time
applications, to switch the SDI input signal to the output signal.
Feature
The intelligent matrix switchers would monitor and text the each channel input signal. The
button is tri-color key. Normal signal lights GREEN while the non-normal signal lights RED.
And PGM output signal is YELLOW. It visually shows the reality of the current work status of
each signal.
The IRS series support intelligent protection function in order to avoiding "misuse". When the
input signal is detected abnormal, the switching operation for output would be invalid.
The IRS1604 matrix switcher series have the automatic switching function. Each switching
matrix switcher has a direct access to BYPASS input signal. When the PGM main output
signal is abnormal, the output will automatically switch to the BYPASS signal.
IRS series matrix switchers have the alarm function for following anomalies: 1) loss of
synchronization; 2) PGM output signals abnormal; 3) the host and the remote control panel
switching detection timeout.
The IRS series matrix switchers have a comprehensive detection function and the test
content including INPUT signal status, synchronization status, and device temperature, etc.
Dual redundant power modular design and the input cable equalization automatically.
Support NETWORK protocol, which enables network control.

Main Function
1. Display the status of the signal source.
The matrix switcher would detect each input signal. Tri-color operation panel keys show the status
of eachinput siganl. Each color represents a state of the input signal source. For example, "Green"
means the channel signal is "normal" and "Red" means the signal is "abnormal". And "Yellow"
means it is the current bus output channel. Matrix operator can clearly know the status of each
input signal by the Matrix panel.
2. Misoperation protection mechanism.
The matrix switcher can open the Misoperation protection mechanism by software. When the
function is enabled, the operator can not switch to the channel signal which is abnormal. This
function prevents the operator misuse in the matrix panel switching operation.
3. Permanent source anomaly alarm.
In the broadcast system, there are server permanent signal channels.These channels should be
normal for per-output. The matrix switcher can set up one channel to be permanent channel. When
the channel source is detected be abnormal, the red key would be flashing. On the matrix panel,
the red flashing indicating key reminds the channel signal is abnormal. The system shoul be
checked.
4. Conform to the user operation habit of PGM/PST operation panel.
It has "PGM / PST" operation panel to intelligent switching matrix operation, easy to operate using.
5. Full support for SNMP protocol.
The matrix switcher can provide comprehensive and detailed source and parameters via SNMP
protocol. It also supports for third-party monitoring system through the NETWORK.
6. Secure BACKUP signal.
The series matrix switcher support one-channel of BACKUP signal. When the matrix breaks down,
the BACKUP signal would be output with power-down.
7. Control Mode.
The series products support RS23/RS422 serial port control mode. Remote control panel use the
RS485 control communicating with the host. It also supports the Ethernet control mode and
supports for the third-party control software. It uses the NETWORK matrix switching control
protocol. So it can use all the NETWORK matrix control software which is under the NETWORK
matrix control protocol.

Chapter 6 Usage
6.1 Before Use the Device
1. There are two ways for connecting between the host and the swithers.
1) Connect by RS485 interface. The devices connected via BNC interface. And in this way, the
remote control panel should use an external power adapter.
2) Connect by RJ45 interface.In this way, the remote control panel does not require an external
power supply.
2. If the matrix switcher would be used as the host, the ID of it must be set to 0, and there is only one
host device in a system.
3. When the matrix switcher and the remote control panel are used in a group, each device has one
ID, and the DIP switch range is 0 to 15.
4. A crossover cable should be used between the host matrix switcher and the matrix switcher of the
first-level cascade, while the connection between the matrix switchers in the next cascade level
would use a straight-through cable. The Line orders of the crossover cable are 3 to 5, and 4 to 6.
5. The matrix switchers and the remote control panels are required cascading by the RS485 interface
and the cascaded remote control panels use the straight-through cable.
6. Only through the IP of the host, the entire system network page could be viewed. Viewing the IP of
the slave device, only the information of the slave device could be seen.
7. The matrix switchers with control panel are X/Y panel type. And the remote control panels contain
X/Y panel and PGM/PST panel two types. The two types of remote control panel can be set in the
WEB. The functions of the keys on the panel can also be defined through the WEB.
8. The produces support up to 16-channel HD/SD/3G input signals. If the synchronize switch is
required, the synchronization reference signal should be inputed.
9. The produces support up to 16-channel HD/SD/3G input signals. If the synchronize switch is
required, the synchronization reference signal should be inputed.
10. The matrix switchers with control panel are X/Y type panel. The keys contents SRC key, DST key,
target protective key, targeting key, and panel lock key.
11. Device Address: matrix switchers or remote control panels have an eight-digit DIP switch. The last
four digits used to set the device address. And thr range is 0 to 15. 0 indicates the host matrix
switcher; the other address indicates the other matrix switchers or the remote control panel. If the
first four positions are set on 1 at the same time, the matrix switcher would restore to the default
value and default IP: 192.168.1.86.
12. The two RS485 interface are used to install the Network connection between the matrix switchers
and the remote panels and the baud rate is 115200 bps. The RS422 interface is used to receive
serial network control data and the baud rate is 19200 bps.
13. When a matrix switcher and a remote control panel are used, the address of the matrix switcher
must be appropriated on to 0, and the remote control panel would be 1 to 15. For one-to-one

12
remote, the network control does not need to do any settings and the remote control panel would
record all the states of the matrix switcher, including the presence or absence of the input signal.
14. When several matrix switchers and a plurality of remote control panels are used, there would be
up to 16 devices. 0 is for the host matrix, and 1 to 15 could be assigned to other devices. This
connection must be open through the WEB LVL switch for each panel. Set the LVL list and LVL
control output of each panel in order to ontrol properly. Each panel has dropped prompts function.
When the panel can't receive the signal which is send by the host within 4 seconds, all the keys on
the panel would flash in red. Only when the communication is restored, it could restore.
