Vaddio AV Bridge MATRIX PRO AV Bridge MATRIX PRO Manual - Page 6

AV Bridge MATRIX PRO  8 x 4 Audio Capability: Four RJ-45 Ports for direct connection of Vaddio Easy MicPODs or Easy Ceiling Mic PODs, 4 Mic or Line inputs with 48v phantom power if desired, and four Line outputs.  Program and Display Outputs: A standard HDMI output and a Vaddio-specific HSDS CAT-5 output capable of delivering Program video via an optional Vaddio Quick-Connect at distances of up to 100 feet (30.5m)  Automatic Mic Mixing-Chairman Override: An adaptive gain sharing design which maintains a constant output level regardless of which or how many mics are active. Chairman Priority can be assigned to allow one mic a 3dB advantage over other mics in the auto-mix.  PIP Functionality: Different PIP sizes and locations are user selectable, allowing for custom configuration and hard and soft triggering. Additional PIP modes include top/bottom Split Screen, and a Quad Split which can show all four inputs simultaneously.  Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC): AEC is selectable and usable for requirements of far end Echo cancellation. Line inputs or Far End audio from a "Soft Codec" can be selected as the AEC Reference signal for echo cancellation requirements to be fed from any of the (4) MATRIX PRO line output channels.  Advanced Audio Matrix switching and Cross-point Level Setting: An 8 x 4 audio matrix configuration allow for a truly custom integration, with the ability to set gain or attenuation at any points in the matrix. These allow a configuration which could send multiple audios to the same output buss, without directly summing their sources and creating audio signals which are "too hot"- or having different output busses with drastically different signal levels depending on the number of source audios assigned to them. Intended Use: Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition. Save These Instructions: The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product drawings for the Vaddio product line on the Vaddio website. These documents can be downloaded from www.vaddio.com free of charge. Important Safeguards: Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged. In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions. Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranties. Please do not use "pass-thru" type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™ signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio Cat-5e products.
