BAX Matrix Switching Systems—User Manual 5.0.1 Input/Output Jacks Referring to the different models, the video signal input/output jacks are formed by the 4th row and 8th row BNC female connectors. The audio input/output conectors are formed by the 4th and 8th row 5-phase 3.8mm connection terminals. The BAX-3088 video signal input/output jack channels are numbered from left to right as NO.1 to NO.8 (in two rows). The connectors are indicated from upper to lower as R, G, B, H, and V signal terminals.
BAX Matrix Switching Systems—User Manual Balanced connection is a connection method of using two signal wires to transmit a pair of balanced signals. Since interference to two signal wires are similar and out of phase the interfering signals are cancel out.The lower audio frequencies are susceptible to interference in long distrance transmission. Therefore, balanced connection is a way to counter interference commonly used in professional audio equipment.
BAX Matrix Switching Systems—User Manual 5.0.3 Remote Control and Settings The BAX matrix provides standard RS-232 and RS-485 serial communication ports.
