5.3.1 Description

Matrix SM328A is a product for professional use in applications for security and surveillance and dedicated to
the management of video signals. It can be used to control 32 input videos; there are eight video outputs, one of
which can be managed directly by a VCR. It is used to control the usual switching and alarm management
operations.
As well as the usual switching, alarm management and on screen menu programming operations, the SM328A
matrix is equipped with an optional auxiliary line that can be used to control the telemetry or multiplexer units.
Refer to the matrix manual for further information on this subject.

5.3.2 Connection

5.3.2.1 Cable
The communication cable is standard, as described in § 3.3 - Standard connection cable, page 8.
5.3.2.2 Matrix setting s
The new generation matrix SM328A can be controlled by different types of keyboard and therefore emulates the
respective protocols: to control the switcher with the DCK keyboard the MACRO protocol with baud rate 38400
should be used.
Set the dip switches in the matrix as required (all dips are OFF: MACRO Protocol, baud rate 38400,
programming disabled).
5.3.2.3 Keyboard set tings
