Each portion of the signal can be controlled independently or in any desired grouping. This allows use of the switcher with a variety of signal formats, and allows multiple independent switchers in one enclosure.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 6 The computer video signal can be RGsB, RGBS, or RGBHV format. The broadcast video signal can be C-Video, S-Video, or Component Video in NTSC, PAL or SECAM standard. The audio signal can be Mono or Stereo. Depending on the signal and size configuration of the MAX Switcher, the back panel of the switchers will be different.

MATRIX SWITCHERS 9 INSTALLING YOUR SWITCHER 6 Step 1. Connect the power entry connector of the MAX Switcher to the power outlet with the provided power cord. The power supply is universal and will work throughout the world with voltages between 90V-260V.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 10 In PRESS and HOLD mode the switcher performs secondary functions. Press and hold the button until all LED’s flash and the unit beeps a second time. In POWER-ON mode the switcher changes settings that are stored in the switcher’s memory.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 11 Press and hold Input 5 and turn the power ON. Then wait for long and short beep to set the No sync delay function. Press and hold Input 6 and turn the power ON. Then wait for long and short beep to set a 5- second sync delay. Press and hold Input 7 and turn the power ON.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 12 RESET To reset the switcher to its factory default setting, press [VIDEO] and hold it until all LED’s flash. When the switcher is reset: - Baud rate is changed to 2400 bps. - Unit ID is selected to 1. - IR-Control mode is disabled.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 13 The [SETIDn] command is used for programming the switcher; it should not be used as a part of a program to operate the switcher. [CODEn] n=1 - Use [ ] as start and end code n=2 - U.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 14 1. The number of outputs must be the same on all units to be looped. 2. Output offset is zero for all units. 3. The input offset must be set for all units except for the first one. The offset for the input should be the same as the last number of the previous unit 4.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 15 [RSET] This command resets or initializes the switcher to the power-on condition. With this command, the baud rate is changed to 2400 bps, all current inputs from outputs are disconnected, unit ID number is set to 1, memory number 1 is recalled, and all levels (VIDEO & AUDIO) are enabled.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 16 This command allows control of each signal level independently. Once issued it is active until another [SELn] command is issued or the front panel is used to control the switcher. When the front panel is used, the levels to be controlled are defined by the front panel selections.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 17 This command is used to select multiple inputs and multiple outputs without switching and then switch them together with a single command. This is a very useful command for scene or salvo switching or for controlling through a PC. If n = 1, units will respond to any command.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 18 [SWUx] command will delay switching for that period. [FDBKn] n- 1 enable feedback [OK] or [ERR] n- 0 disable feedback This command sets MAX Switchers to provide feedback code during RS-232 control operations. Factory default is no feedback.
MATRIX SWITCHERS 19 7.6 IR-CONTROL MODE Wired Infra-red Receiver Step 1. Make sure that the MAX Switcher is in the OFF position. Step 2. Plug the 4-position terminal plug located at the end of the cable into RS-232 Port 1 located on the top-right corner on the backside of the switcher.
