The Barco MatrixPRO-II 16x16 is a compact, slim-profile digital router designed for reliable SDI switching across SD, HD and 3G formats. It supports a wide range of broadcast and data formats and provides genlock input with loop-through to synchronize switching with house reference signals.

Key Features

• Broad signal support: DVB-ASI, SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 424M, covering 270 Mbps up to 2.97 Gbps.
• Flexible inputs and outputs: 75 ohm BNC female connectors, nominal 75 ohm impedance, and consistent return loss performance across SD and HD ranges.
• Automatic cable equalization: Compensates for cable loss up to 70 m at 2.97 Gbps, 100 m at 1.485 Gbps, and 300 m at 270 Mbps on typical Belden cables.
• Precise signal integrity: Output level 800 mVp-p ±10%, tight rise/fall time and amplitude overshoot control, and non-inverting signal polarity for predictable routing behavior.
• Genlock with loop-through: Ensures all outputs remain synchronized to house sync for multi-device environments.

Use Cases

• Temporary broadcast setups requiring multi-format SDI routing.
• Live event signal distribution where synchronization with venue reference is needed.
• Production and post environments that need compact, dependable SDI switching between cameras, decks and monitors.
