Howdy all,
Could someone provide a quick primer on how matrix switches work? Lets take the Extron 100 RGBHV as a quick example.
My understanding is that this will switch HD quality video. Was this their initial purpose, or are they just powerful enough to keep up with current technology?
It will also switch audio. Does it switch these together? Can a matrix switch provide the switching functionality of a Nuvo Concerto?
What is the difference between RGBHV, VGA, and standard component (the red, green, and blue cable that is generally used on TVs).
What does the sync mean?
How much work are these to set up?
I found this thread, but it doesn't really answer my questions.
I also did quite a bit of internet searching, but I couldn't really find a primer on exactly how these things work.
Thanks,
Target
