High-Bandwidth RGB Matrix Switcher Crestron CEN-RGBHVHB
2 • High-Bandwidth RGB Matrix Switcher: CEN-RGBHVHB Operations Guide – DOC. 7157C
800 MHz Bandwidth Matrix Router
The CEN-RGBHVHB is capable of routing up to eight (CEN-RGBHVHB8X4,
CEN-RGBHVHB8X8) or 12 (CEN-RGBHVHB12X4, CEN-RGBHVHB12X8)
computer or video sources to up to four (CEN-RGBHVHB8X4,
CEN-RGBHVHB12X4) or eight (CEN-RGBHVHB8X8, CEN-RGBHVHB12X8)
display devices. Its five matrix levels accommodate any combination of analog
RGBHV, HD/component, S-video and composite signals. Ultra high bandwidth and
wide response ensure optimum performance for every signal as part of any AV
system. Sync impedances for each input are selectable from the front panel or
software to accommodate both short and long cable runs.
Glitch-free Switching
Video-follow-sync switching ensures a smooth transition when selecting between
non-synchronous sources. Adjustable blanking allows each display device time to
lock to the new sync signal before displaying the video image whenever a new
source is selected.
Sync Detection
Sync detection on each H and V input measures the sync rates of every RGBHV
source and allows their values to be viewed on the front panel display, on the control
system touch screen, or through Crestron’s Fusion RV
®
software.*
Audio Routing & DSP
Professional audio signal processing affords enhanced, high-performance audio
routing and control, potentially eliminating the need for additional audio
components. Each stereo output features real time controllable volume, bass, treble,
and mute controls, plus 5-band EQ with customizable presets. Programmable input
level compensation helps ensure compatibility with a wide range of pro and semi-pro
sources. Automatic blanking achieves a pop-free transition when switching between
sources, while audio breakaway capability allows the routing of audio signals to
follow video or be switched independently. The entire audio signal path has been
designed from the ground up to deliver ultra quiet, distortion-free sound quality —
whether feeding sensitive amplifiers, assistive listening devices, or recording and
broadcast equipment.
Paging Mode
Built-in page override functionality simplifies system design, employing automatic
mixing and ducking for a single audio paging source. When set to Paging mode, an
audio signal at the last input channel is automatically distributed to every output
while the signals currently routed to each output are attenuated or “ducked” to allow
the paging signal to be heard. The sensitivity and ducking amount are fully
adjustable for smooth paging behavior and a natural transition back to the previous
audio state.
Full-featured Front Panel
The CEN-RGBHVHB is fully operable out-of-the-box for use as a standalone
switcher. Featuring an informative LCD display, quick-adjust knob, and quick access
buttons, the front panel supports essential switcher operation without requiring a
computer or control system. Advanced setup is available through Crestron
Toolbox™ software. All signal routing, input impedances, and audio settings are
stored in non-volatile memory onboard the switcher.
