The Barco MatrixPRO 16x16 is a rack-mount analog matrix switcher designed for rental use where reliable, professional-quality routing of video and stereo audio is required. It accepts a wide range of universal inputs and provides flexible control and preset recall for fast configuration changes during events.

Key Features

• Universal input support: accepts composite, S-Video, component, HDTV, RGBHV and computer video resolutions from 640x480 up to 2048x1536.
• High bandwidth: 375 MHz (-3 dB) minimum bandwidth when fully loaded, ensuring clarity across outputs.
• 16x16 routing with presets: save up to 16 front-panel looks and 16 via the MP Control GUI for quick scene recall.
• Audio flexibility: balanced stereo inputs and outputs, per-input volume control, per-output mute, audio follow or breakaway, and output gain/attenuation from -75 dB to +20 dB.
• Glitch-free switching: vertical interval switching for synchronous sources, plus RGB delay for non-synchronous video.
• Control options: front panel, RS-232/485, IP/Ethernet control (static IP required), and MP Control Software GUI for setup. Auxiliary RS-485 pass-through supports daisy-chaining multiple units.
• Installation aids: I/O grouping simplifies configuration and a front panel lockout mode prevents accidental changes.
