1. Introduction
1.1 About MRG Matrix Switcher System
MRG series Matrix switcher is a high-performance professional computer and audio signal switcher that
can be used for cross switching of multi computer and audio signal. Independent RGBHV component
and balance/unbalance I/O terminals make each component signal transmit and switch separately; this
design can reduce attenuation of signal transmission to minimum and output the image and audio
signal in high-fidelity quality.
MRG series switcher mostly apply in broadcasting TV engineering, multi-media meeting room, big
screen display engineering, television education, command control center or other fields. It provides
power-fail locale protection function, LED indicating, A/V timing or separating switching function. With
RS232 interface, it can be worked with PC, remote control system and any other far-end control system
devices. The user manual takes MRG1616-A as the example, other models can take reference from it
too.
