Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally
stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all
delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and
manufacturing faults Barco must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special
systems and software on the date of commissioning, at latest 30 days after the transfer of
risks. In the event of justified notice of compliant, Barco can repair the fault or provide a
replacement at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be
impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a reduction in the purchase price or
cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for
direct or indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well
as to other services provided by Barco, being a component of the system or independent
service, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the
absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or part
of Barco.

wear as well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco
either.

About the MatrixPRO
^Äçìí=íÜÉ=j~íêáñmol
The MatrixPRO 16x16 digital router is available in HD-SDI or SD-SDI versions:
The HD-SDI router can route HD-SDI, adhering to SMPTE 292 or SD-SDI signals
adhering to SMPTE 259.
The SD-SDI router adheres only to SMPTE 259.
Both versions of the MatrixPRO 16x16 digital router provide 16 inputs and 16 outputs, and
allow any input to be routed to any output (or group of outputs). The 8x router provides
eight inputs and eight outputs.
MatrixPRO is an ideal switcher to provide professional-quality serial digital video signal
routing. The operator can save up to eight "presets" from the front panel, and eight with the
MatrixPRO Control GUI. Typical applications include live staging events, corporate
boardroom presentations, and educational and training events. Remote control operation
is available over RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet.
To ensure trouble-free operation, please follow all procedures in the Installation and
Operation sections of this manual. Refer to Chapter 2, “Hardware Installation
” and
Chapter 3, “Operation” for details.
Should you have any questions regarding the operation of this unit, please consult the
factory. Refer to Appendix C, “Contact Information” section for information.

The MatrixPRO 16x16 digital router includes the following features:
HD-SDI architecture allows routing of digital serial video streams, adhering to
SMPTE 292.
SD-SDI architecture routes video adhering to SMPTE 259.
Enable/disable reclockers are provided on the outputs.
IP (Ethernet) control is standard, (a static IP address is required.)
Front Panel Lockout Mode is provided.
Memory Presets save individual I/O configurations for recall via the front panel or
RS-232/485.
I/O Grouping allows specific inputs and outputs to be grouped together making
installation and control easier.
The system’s vertical interval switching capability provides glitch-free switches
when used with synchronous video sources. The source for vertical switching will
be channel 1 input.
A MatrixPRO Control Software GUI is provided for setup and control via serial
commands or Ethernet control.
The optional MatrixPRO Remote Control Panel is available for remote operation
via RS-485.

The MatrixPRO Serial Digital switcher is available in three versions.
The 16x16 HD-SDI is a serial digital matrix switcher adhering to SMPTE 292M
and SMPTE 259M with 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
The 8x8 HD-SDI is a serial digital matrix switcher adhering to SMPTE 292M and
and SMPTE 259M with 8 inputs and 8 outputs.
The 16x16 SD-SDI is a serial digital matrix switcher adhering to SMPTE 259M
with 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
The output gain is unity into 75 ohm loads. All video signals are carried on BNCs for the
highest signal quality.
A matrix switcher can route any input to any output (or multiple) outputs. The matrix
switcher has built in capabilities to group outputs and route a single input to that group.
The router has the ability to switch inputs to outputs during the vertical interval. In practice,
this feature will be used to switch synchronous sources. Channel 1 is the source for
vertical interval switching. The feature can be enabled or disabled.
If there is a signal present on channel 1, status will be reported as valid.
If there is no signal present, status will be reported as invalid.
The reclocking circuits clean up marginal input signals. There are times when the signal
quality is much worse than marginal, but still produces a usable picture. In this case, the
reclocking circuits should be disabled because they will be ineffective at improving image
quality.
The MatrixPRO 16x and 8x series can be controlled by the front panel, RS-232, RS-485, or
Ethernet. The MP Control GUI allows control of the MatrixPRO router from a PC via serial
and Ethernet interfaces. Barco Folsom also offers the compact 1RU MatrixPRO Remote
Control Panel which provides 16 input and 16 output buttons for simple remote operation of
the MatrixPRO router.
The MatrixPRO product line has been specifically designed to work as the front-end
switchers for the Encore Presentation System. The Encore Controller communicates with
MatrixPRO analog and digital routers over an EtherNet local area network. All Controller
commands are processed and issued to the array of routers without the need to specifically
program each switcher. Control of each router is essentially "transparent" to the user.

Safety Precautions
p~ÑÉíó=mêÉÅ~ìíáçåë=
For all MatrixPRO 16x16 and 8x8 HD/SD-SDI Router installation procedures, observe the
following important safety and handling rules to avoid damage to yourself and the
equipment:
To protect users from electric shock, ensure that the power supplies for each unit
connect to earth via the ground wire provided in the AC power Cord.
The AC Socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily
accessible.
råé~ÅâáåÖ=~åÇ=fåëéÉÅíáçå=
Before opening the boxes, inspect them for damage. If you find any damage, notify the
shipping carrier immediately for all claims adjustments. As you open each box, compare its
contents against the packing slips. If you find any shortages, contact your Barco sales
representative.
Once you have removed all the components from their packaging and checked that all the
listed components are present, visually inspect each unit to ensure there was no damage
during shipping. If there is damage, notify the shipping carrier immediately for all claims
adjustments.
páíÉ=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=
The environment in which you install your MatrixPRO 16x16 and 8x8 HD/SD-SDI Routers
should be clean, properly lit, free from static, and have adequate power, ventilation, and
space for all components.

Rack-Mount Installation
o~ÅâJjçìåí=fåëí~ää~íáçå
MatrixPRO 16x and 8x Digital Router units are designed to be rack mounted.
Please note the following important points:
When rack mounting the unit, remember that maximum ambient operating
temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C.
Leave at least one inch of space front and rear to make sure that the airflow
through the fan and vent holes is not restricted.
When installing equipment into a rack, distribute the units evenly to prevent
hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven weight distribution.
Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit.
Reliable Grounding (Earthing) of Rack-Mounted Equipment should be maintained.
