The connector rows from top to bottom are: Y video (green), Pb/Cb video (blue), Pr/Cr video (red), right audio signal (red), and left audio signal (white). The input and output jack channels are numbered from left to right as 1 to 8 (or 1 to 4).
Matrix Switching System—Instruction Manual Page 5 Connection Method The audio inputs and outputs can be separately connected to audio signal connectors of video recorders and multiplexers. Use the RCA cables for connecting AV equipment to the matrix. Connect the video and audio connectors of the signal source equipment output terminals to the same channel connector of the matrix input terminals. Connect the output of the matrix switch to the input connectors of the interfaced equipment.

Matrix Switching System—Instruction Manual Page 23 Common Problems and Solutions 1. The matrix front panel switching keys not responsive? Answer: The matrix front panel keys employ scanning testing and require longer response time. Press the keys for 2 seconds and then release. This way, key switching will be responsive in operation. 2. The matrix does not display or color display is abnormal after hot plug? Answer: Switching of the signals goes through the matrix ICs.
Page 24 Matrix Switching System—Instruction Manual 10. The matrix panel keys and communication ports are out of order? Answer: Check if the equipment power input is good and the computer communication ports are good. If the connections are good, it could be failure of the product. Call 469-429 9200 for technical support. 11. Operation and function failure occurred? Answer: Check if the equipment and the matrix system are properly connected. If the problem persists, Call 469-429 9200 for technical support.
Matrix Switching System—Instruction Manual Page 25 APPENDIX – Matrix Switch Communication Protocol The RS-232/RS-485 communications are half-duplex with variable byte count packets. For RS-232, the matrix switch operates as a DCE device and therefore can be connected using a straight cable to a DTE device such as a computer. The RS-232 connector is a DB-9 female. For RS-485, a discrete wiring connector is provided for custom connection to any RS-485 equipment.
Page 26 Matrix Switching System—Instruction Manual Protocol Description Command Packet Command packets are sent to the Matrix Switch from a computer and are 4 or more bytes long depending upon the instruction code.
