FPC 1000 Features
Modular Design The modular design of the Matrix 3200/6400 Series switchers allows users the
flexibility of purchasing only the modules required. In some systems, an
FPC 1000 may not be needed.
Panel Mount The Matrix 3200/6400 Series BMEs can be rack-mounted in any conventional
19" rack. The FPC 1000 mounts in place of the blank front panel in the master
module (BME #0). It is available for both the 5U and 7U enclosures.
Triple-Action switching with adjustable delay - For seamless switching from one RGB input to
another, an adjustable delay is available for each output. This allows the Matrix
3200/6400 to accommodate the switching characteristics of any display device.
