The 60-710 is a Dual 24 x 8 Video Matrix Module suitable for switching frequencies up to 25MHz. It has an impedance
of 75Ω implemented using 50Ω SMB connectors.
It is designed to provide a simple and scalable bidirectional matrix for video frequencies and is intended for the easy
construction of high performance bidirectional matrix switching systems.
Software conguration allows the 60-710 to be set as a dual 24 by 8 matrix, a single 48 by 8 matrix and other
congurations. All connections to the matrices are accessible from the front panel.
A exible isolation switch arrangement permits the matrices to be congured so the matrix can be expanded with
other modules while maximizing the bandwidth of the switching system.
The 60-710 is designed in accordance with the LXI Class C standard and is supplied in a compact 1U high, rack
width case, 340mm depth.
It is fully programmable via the LAN interface using code based Pickering Interfaces PXI switch driver. Industry
standard (W3C) web browsers can be used to access and change conguration information and provide access to
the soft front panels.

The 60-710 Dual Video Matrix consists of two separate 24 x 8 coaxial matrices which can be used independently
(see Figure 3-1). The Y axes of the matrices can be connected together using two banks of Matrix Isolation
Switches allowing one or all of the Y lines to be interlinked. This enables many different congurations to be
realised, for example, closing all Matrix Isolation Switches creates a 48 x 8 matrix (see Figure 3-2). The Matrix also
uses Y Isolation Switches to connect the Y axis to the front panel connectors. These allow unused Y connections
to be disconnected from the matrix and preserve overall bandwidth. The Matrix can also be used with all Y
Isolation switches open in an “X Axis Only” conguration, this is outlined on page 6-3.
pickering
To use the 60-710 Video Matrix over a LAN connection it should be set up and congured as described in the “LXI
Getting Started Guide”.
If the IP address is to be set manually and before connecting to a network, contact your IT department so they can
give you the correct settings for:
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
• DNS Server(s)
Once you have the required information, the IP conguration window is used to manually set the IP address. This is
shown in Figure 3-3.
Incorrect setting will result in a loss of communication indicated by a red LAN LED on the front panel.
If this does occur press and hold the reset button on the back panel of the unit for a full factory reset.
pickering
The 60-710 Dual Video Matrix can be programmed using the supplied Soft Front Panel. This can be run as a Java
Applet from the devices LXI home page. An example of this is shown in Figure 4.1.

The 60-710 LXI Dual 24 x 8 Video Matrix is a module housed in a 1U high case designed to be tted into a standard
19 inch rack. The module comprises the following:
Front panel mounted status LEDs.
32 Front Panel mounted SMB connectors for connection to matrix bank A.
32 Front Panel mounted SMB connectors for connection to matrix bank B.
Rear panel mounted RJ45 100baseT LAN connection for LXI control of the module over Ethernet.
Rear panel mounted IEC plug for connection to the mains supply.
pickering
The 60-710 is a single or dual 24 by 8 video matrix. Much of this description assumes the product supplied is
the dual version and references to dual matrices or extended matrices should be ignored if the device is a single
matrix.
For dual versions the two matrices can be set independently. In addition the part or all of the matrices can be
connected together to extend the size of the matrix. With all the channels connected together a 48 by 8 matrix can
be formed.

The matrix can also be set to other congurations by not closing all the matrix isolation relays.
The matrices have been designed to operate in a 75Ω system, the impedance commonly used for video
applications.
The matrix connections are on the front panel of the 60-710 in two rows of connectors for the dual version. The
RF connectors are all 50Ω SMB types. These connectors can mate to 75Ω SMB connectors without damage, but
it is recommended that 50Ω connectors are used even in 75Ω systems. Cables connecting to the 60-710 should
be 75Ω.
pickering
If the matrices are to be used independently the isolation relays between the matrices should remain off (their
default condition).
The matrices can then be used in one of two ways:
. In this case the Y axis isolation relays should be closed to connect the Y connectors to the matrix
and connectivity between a Y and X is obtained by switching one relay in the matrix.
. Signals are only connected to the axis and are then connected together by closing two relays
in the matrix. This method can provide greater freedom on the number of connections to be made and for the 60-
710 allows 8 concurrent connections to be made. In this case the isolation relays on the Y connectors should be
keep off to maximize the bandwidth of the matrix. The Y connections on the front panel will then be disconnected.
The 60-710 has been designed to ensure that signals have minimal loss and VSWR when in used in a 75Ω
system. If one input terminal is connected to more than one output terminal it will have a signicant impact on the
bandwidth of the switching system.
If the 60-710 is intended for use in a 50Ω system again the bandwidth will be affected. The user should use a 75Ω
to 50Ω adaptor on each interface.
