INTRODUCTION The MatrixPRO-II family is a ground-up development aimed at bringing new capabilities and a new level of performance to matrix switching. In order for a display to accurately reproduce the original image, every component in the video system must have enough bandwidth to carry the signal and be as flat as possible in order to maintain the clarity and color fidelity. The MatrixPRO-IIs set a new standard in both areas.
gain settings for each input to maintain optimal S/N ratio. Serial and IP Control The MatrixPRO-II command set is an easy to follow easy to implement ASCII command set that gives control systems complete access to all functions.
