Technical Description  
qÉÅÜåáÅ~ä=aÉëÅêáéíáçå  
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.

Control Overview  
`çåíêçä=lîÉêîáÉï  
This portion of the manual outlines how to control all MatrixPRO functions. There are many  
means to control the unit available to the user.  
•
First, the front panel is available for status and control. Two keys and a display on  
the MatrixPRO front panel are used for navigating through the menu system. This  
enables you to configure the system, to save and recall presets, and to report  
system status. Channel routing is accomplished by a set of front panel switches.  
•
•
•
A second means of control is through the use of the MatrixPRO Control software.  
The GUI can interface to the MatrixPRO through RS-232 or Ethernet.  
Barco Folsom makes a Remote Control Switch Panel for controlling the  
MatrixPRO remotely.  
The unit can be controlled remotely by various third-party controllers.  
j~íêáñmol=mçïÉêJré=fåáíá~äáò~íáçå  
After plugging in the MatrixPRO to the wall socket, locate the power switch on the back of  
the chassis, and turn the power ON. The LEDs on the buttons will light, the display will  
show the Main Menu screen, and the last saved or recalled setup will be recalled.

Establishing Groups of Inputs and Outputs  
bëí~ÄäáëÜáåÖ=dêçìéë=çÑ=fåéìíë=~åÇ=lìíéìíë  
The MatrixPRO routers can be set up to "lock-out" input sources that are incompatible with  
certain output display devices.  
S Example: Input channels 1, 2 and 3 are SD-SDI sources and output  
channels 1, 2 and 3 are SD-SDI display devices. Input channels 4, 5 and 6  
are HD-SDI sources and outputs 4, 5 and 6 are HD-SDI display devices.  
Establishing groups like these prevents an input from Group 2 from being accidentally  
switched to a Group 1 output.  
Grouping inputs and outputs does not establish a route. The  
input source for a particular output still must be established  
using the Video Switching procedure. In addition, there can  
be only one input routed to any output or group of outputs.  
Note  
There are two methods available for grouping inputs and outputs:  
•
The manual method, using the MatrixPRO front panel. Refer to the “Manual  
Grouping” section for instructions.  
•
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) method. In Chapter 4, refer to the “Grouping  
Tab” section for details.  
j~åì~ä=dêçìéáåÖ  
„
Use the following steps to create an input/output group manually:  
S Prerequisites: Assume that input channel 1 is routed to output channel 1.  
No other inputs are assigned to any output.  
1. To add output channel 2 to output channel 1 (thus establishing an output group),  
press and hold output channel 1 key, then press the output channel 2 key. Both  
output keys light.  
2. To add output channel 3 to the output channel group, press and hold output  
channel 1 key and press the output channel 3 key. All three output keys light.  
3. To add input channel 1 to the group, press and hold output channel 1 key and  
press the input channel 1 key. All three output keys and the new input key light.  
4. To add input channel 2 to the group, press and hold output channel 1 key and  
press the input channel 2 key. All three output keys and the two new input keys  
light.  
5. To add input channel 3 to the group, press and hold output channel 1 key and  
press the input channel 3 key. All three output keys and the three new input keys  
light.  
When an input/output group has been established, it has the following characteristics:  
•
•
First, any single input in the group can be routed to the same three outputs.  
Second, when any key in the output group is pressed and held, all members of the  
input/output group will light up.  
•
Third, when that key is released, any input that is routed to the outputs will remain  
illuminated.

Establishing Groups of Inputs and Outputs  
„
Use the following steps to remove a member of an input/output group:  
1. Press and hold any output key other than the one to be removed, if that is the  
case.  
2. Press and release the key of the group member to be removed, either input or  
output. Now, when any output key is pressed and held all members of the group  
will light up except for the channel that has been removed.  
Please note:  
•
•
•
If two or more input/output groups have been established, the members of each  
can be viewed by pressing and holding one of the group's output keys.  
After the key has been released, the current output group and its single input  
channel will remain lit.  
When an output key of the second group is pressed and held, its members will  
light while the keys of the first group will become dark.

oÉãçíÉ=bíÜÉêåÉí=pÉíìé  
„
Use the following steps to control the MatrixPRO using a computer on the same LAN:  
1. Pre-configure MatrixPRO with a static IP address using the RS-232 ipconfig  
command, program the MatrixPRO using the GUI over RS-232, or use the front  
panel menu system.  
2. On the remote computer, launch the GUI.  
3. Press NO when the dialog asks if you would like to connect serially.  
4. Click the Setup Tab.  
5. Enter the IP address of the MatrixPRO in the IP address box.  
6. Click the Ethernet radio button under the RS-232 heading. The MatrixPRO now  
will be under the control of the GUI.  
Please note the following important points:  
•
Only one Ethernet socket is available — so only one remote GUI can be  
accommodated at one time. However, MatrixPRO can still be controlled via RS-  
232, RS-485 or the Front Panel while being controlled over Ethernet.  
•
•
If the unit is controlled by other sources, press Update Status as necessary to  
find the current status of the MatrixPRO.  
If an operation such as a route is not completed by using a Take command via the  
Front Panel or by serial command, the GUI can fall into an unknown state and  
operation may become unreliable.  
•
To prevent any mis-operation, it is recommended that the Front Panel Lockout be  
activated on the GUI.

Click the Grouping Tab on the MatrixPRO Control application. A sample tab is shown  
below:  
Figure 4-7. Grouping Tab (sample)  
The MatrixPRO routers can be set up to "lock-out" input sources that are incompatible with  
certain output display devices.  
S Example: Input channels 1, 2 and 3 are all SD-SDI sources, and output  
channels 1, 2 and 3 are SD-SDI display devices. Input channels 4, 5 and 6  
are HD-SDI sources and output channels 4, 5 and 6 are HD-SDI devices.  
Establishing groups like these prevents an input from Group 2 from being accidentally  
switched to a Group 1 output. The type of route and the input source must still be  
established using the Video Switching page.  
„
Use the following steps to establish a group:  
1. Define the Group Number by selecting a Group index from the Groups column.  
2. Select the output channels that will be associated with this Group (e.g., outputs 1,  
2 and 3).  
3. Select the input channels that will be associated with this Group (e.g., inputs 1, 2  
and 3). As these keys are clicked, they will turn yellow.

4. Select the next Group number index in the Group column. The keys of the original  
Group 1 outputs will be grayed-out — indicating that they are no longer available  
to assign to another group.  
5. Click on the Group 1 index number again. Notice that the keys of all members of  
that group will turn yellow.  
6. To deassign members of a group, select the Group index for that group and click  
the Remove Group key.  
The Front Panel buttons will show the members of a Group:  
•

•
Press and hold any one output key for a particular group.  
The the switch-caps of members of that group, both input and output, will light.  
When that key has been released, the output channels for that group will remain  
illuminated, while the current input source for that set of output channels will also  
remain illuminated.

6. Upgrading Software  
Overview  
lîÉêîáÉï  
The MatrixPRO units built by Barco Folsom incorporate system software in a Flash  
memory component. Flash memory allows easy software upgrades, without the need to  
send the unit back to the factory.  
The “loader” utility enables you to update the system’s Flash module with the latest revision  
of software. The utility can be run from a computer with a hard drive (recommended) or a  
floppy drive. Running the loader from a floppy drive is discouraged due to the slow speeds  
associated with disk access.  
e~êÇï~êÉ=oÉèìáêÉãÉåíë  
The following list outlines hardware requirements for upgrading software:  
•
•
IBM compatible computer with an available COM port  
Serial cable conforming to EIA RS-232 specifications (e.g., standard modem  
cable). The cable should have a DB-25 male connector on one end, and a DB-9  
connector on the other end.  
This cable is available as an off-the-shelf, stocked item, Barco  
Folsom part number: 14-9760047-00.

argument1, argument2, … argument"N" are required or optional  
parameters depending on the command used.  
<cr>  
carriage return (ASCII 13) terminates the command  
Please note:  
•
•
•
A space (ASCII 32) must be inserted between the command and any arguments  
that follow. A space must also be inserted between all argument parameters,  
except for the last argument in the chain.  
All commands in RS-232 mode must be terminated with a carriage return (ASCII  
13). The carriage return will tell the command processor to begin execution of the  
command.  
Query commands will return the following:  
=result  
#
The “=” indicates that a result from a query command is following. The “result” will  
follow directly after the “=”. The value of the result will vary depending on the  
query command used. A new line will be generated and the prompt (#) will  
indicate the system is ready for a new command.

RS-485 Mode  
opJQUR=jçÇÉ  
To switch to RS-485, refer to the “RS-232 Settings Menu” section in Chapter 3. Single  
commands will be combined with a command delimiter start, device number, command  
separator and command delimiter end to form a command string as shown below:  
•
Single Command Format:  
cdsidcmd arg1 arg2 ..argncde  
Multiple Command Format:  
cdsidcmd arg1 arg2 ..argn,idcmd arg1 arg2  
..argN,…,idcmd arg1 arg2 ..argncde  
•
Table B-3. RS-485 Command Syntax  
Command  
Description  
cds  
id  
cds is the command delimiter start character '*' (ASCII 42).  
id is the device number in the range of 1 to 32. This can be a single  
character for values less than 10, no preceding zero is required.  
cmd  
arg  
cmd is any valid Graphics Board command, typically 2 to 6  
characters in length  
arg1,2,N is any required or optional parameters need for the  
command  
,
separates multiple commands  
cde  
cde is the command delimiter end character '!' (ASCII 33).  
S Example:  
*12XYZ A 9,9PDQY 1234,31WX 200 98!  
The command string is started by the command delimiter start character “*”. The first  
command follows directly after the command delimiter start character. The example shows  
that device 12 should process the XYZ command with A and 9 as parameters. A comma  
(ASCII 44) separates the commands. Device 9 will process the PDQY command with a  
parameter of 1234 and device 31 will process the WX command with parameters of 200  
and 98. The command end delimiter character “!” follows directly after the last command to  
end the command string.  
Commands received in the command string will not be processed until the command end  
delimiter character “!” is received. This format allows commands to be stacked up for  
transmission to a single device or multiple devices and executed when the cde “!” character  
is received by all units. Any incomplete or unknown commands will be ignored. The  
maximum number of commands that can be stacked up per unit is 16. Each unit will only  
stack those commands assigned to it, even though all units receive the same command  
string.  
During queue processing, no input buffer processing is performed. Characters sent  
through the serial port during queue processing are still stored in the input buffer. If  
hardware flow control is not observed, it is important to guarantee that the input buffer limit

is not exceeded before completion of the last command string.  
The command queue does not support backspace  
characters.  
Note  
To minimize bus traffic the command words should be kept as short as possible. The units  
will not respond with prompts or any command error conditions. Echo mode will be  
disabled when RS-485 mode is selected.
