Matrix 3200/6400 Video Switchers 3 Chapter Three Using the Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Software
Chapter 3 • Tutorial - Using the Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Software Extron’s Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Program The Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control program communicates with the Extron Matrix 3200/6400 System through the RS-232/422 port on BME #0 (defaults to 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop, no parity). The program is required to initially set the Virtualization and optional Room configurations for the system.
Chapter 3 • Tutorial - Using the Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Software Switching does; it groups physical input connectors and physical output connectors together into Virtual Inputs and Virtual Outputs, each of which switches from 1 to 6 Virtual Planes. Let’s carry the S-Video example a step further using the 64 x 64 Video BME and a 64 x 64 Audio BME.
Chapter 3 • Tutorial - Using the Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Software • The program will communicate with the Matrix 3200/6400 System to determine its hardware configuration (type and size of each connected BME). It then reads the system’s settings (Ties, Presets, Virtual Map, etc.) and draws a graphical representation of the unit’s configuration and settings (Ties) on the Main screen (Figure 3-5.A & B). It also reads the MTRX6400.

Chapter 3 • Tutorial - Using the Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Software • If you wish to group certain virtual outputs together so that you may later create Room Presets, now would be a good time to Create ROOMS by clicking CONFIGURE|ROOM CONFIGURATION. • You can create a hard-copy document that shows all the details from the Virtual Map screen at any time by clicking the PRINT MAPS menu. The printed maps make a very handy wiring guide and will appear in color if using a color printer.
Chapter 3 • Tutorial - Using the Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Software • From the menu on the Main screen, click SYSTEM-CONFIG to show the Virtual Switch Virtual Map screen (Figure 3-4.A). From the Virtual Map screen menu, click CONFIGURE|ROOM CONFIGURE to show the Room Mapper screen (Figure 3-7.A). Associate a Virtual Output with a room number by using the mouse to drag the output circle to the list on the right side. You can remove a Virtual Output from a room by FIGURE 3-7.
Chapter 3 • Tutorial - Using the Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Software right side of the screen will cause that configuration to be read from the Matrix and drawn on the screen. The displayed preset becomes the “Current configuration” by clicking the GO BUTTON. • You can Add and Erase Ties (edit) when in the “Current configuration”. These edits are made using the mouse in a drag and drop operation. To add a Tie, drag the input box and drop it on the desired output box (left to right).
Chapter 3 • Tutorial - Using the Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Software • A typical Emulation operation might consist of multiple editing sessions: • Session A (connected to a Matrix 3200/6400 System) • Session B (Emulation) use MTRX6400.INI as the first file (source) to edit the last save from the Matrix use JOB1107.MTX as the second file (destination) • Session C (Emulation) use JOB1107.MTX as the first file (source) to further edit the last Emulation save use JOB1107.
Chapter 3 • Tutorial - Using the Matrix 3200/6400 System Virtualization/Control Software How to SAVE and RESTORE the Matrix 3200/6400 Settings The FILE menu provides the following functions: • Save MATRIX settings as... (uploads *.MTX file from system) • Restore MATRIX settings from... (downloads *.MTX file to system) • Save This Session’s settings (uploads MTRX6400.INI file from unit) • Restore Last Session’s settings (downloads MTRX6400.

Appendix A • Reference Information Glossary of terms Following is a list of terms taken from Extron’s Glossary. AC – Alternating Current – Flow of electrons that changes direction alternately. ADA – Extron’s product designation for Analog Distribution Amplifier. AMPS – Amperes – A unit of measurement for current. Analog – Analogue – A continuous signal that takes time to make a transition from one level to another. Standard audio and video signals are analog.
Appendix A • Reference Information Component Video – Our color television system starts with three channels of information; Red, Green, & Blue (RGB). In the process of translating these channels to a single composite video signal they are often first converted to Y, R-Y, and B-Y. Both 3-channel systems, RGB and Y, R -Y, B -Y are component video signals. They are the components that eventually make up the composite video signal.
Appendix A • Reference Information High Impedance – Hi Z or High Z – In video, when the signal is not terminated locally and is going to another destination, where it will be terminated. In video, Hi Z is typically 10k ohms or greater. Horizontal Rate – Horizontal Frequency – The number of complete horizontal lines, including trace and retrace, scanned per second. Typically shown as a measure of kHz.
Appendix A • Reference Information Output – The product of an operation by a device going to some external destination, such as another device, a video screen, image or hard copy. PAL – Phase Alternate Line – The phase of the color carrier is alternated from line to line. It takes four full pictures for the color horizontal phase relationship to return to the reference point. This alternation helps cancel out phase errors, the reason the hue control is not needed on PAL TV sets.
Appendix A • Reference Information SECAM – Sequential Couleur Avec Memoiré – Translated as “Sequential Color with Memory”. A composite color transmission system that potentially eliminates the need for both a color and hue control on the monitor. One of the color difference signals is transmitted on one line and the second is transmitted on the second line. Memory is required to obtain both color difference signals for color decoding.
