imageMATRIX 400 is a family of 400MHz bandwidth Matrix Routing Switchers that includes multiple models. The maximum matrix size to be released in the initial phase is a 16x16 RGBHV with Stereo Audio. This will be expanded to 32X32 RGBHV in the very near future, with larger matrix sizes beyond that.

The initial series is designed around two basic video switch cards, an 8X8 and a 16X16 matrix, using similar control software. These basic cards will be able to switch a wide variety of video signal formats in multiple Input/Output configurations. In addition to RGBHV, versions are available for YUV, YPbPr, YC (S-Video) and Composite Video. SDI formats will be addressed in future models. The architecture supports mixed signal formats, so for example, an RGBHV matrix can also accommodate YUV, YPbPr, Composite and YC signals in the same matrix. The control software can be programmed for Group Switching, which can prevent an input being routed to an incompatible output.

Because of the high bandwidth, the IM-400 series is ideally suited for High Definition Television applications. HDTV signals in both YPbPr and RGBHV formats can be accommodated within the same matrix.

Control is provided via Front Panel Pushbuttons with an LCD readout or Remote Control Panels. An RS-232 interface is provided for interfacing with third party control and automation systems. A Windows-based Control Panel software package is included to provide complete control of the IM-400 from a PC.
