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 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.

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.
