Gefen GEF-MOD-32432

Route any 32 mixed Sources to any 32 mixed outputs with ELR and Fiber Optic Extension Technologies

The GefenPRO 32x32 Modular Matrix provides an all-in-oneprofessional solution to route up to 32 DVI or DisplayPort sourcesto any 32 DVI outputs supporting resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.The modular design of this 32x32 matrix provides the ultimate in flexibility by allowing the combination of different input and output cards and the extension of inputs and outputs over CAT5-ELR or fiber. The front-panel LCD displays the current routing status and each source is accessible to any display by using the front-panel push buttons, the RS-232 interface, or through IP Control (with built-in web server, Telnet, and UDP). Hot-swappable dual redundant power supplies allow these matrixes to be used for applications in demanding 24/7 applications where enhanced reliability, ease of servicing and zero down-time are required.


How It Works

Connect up to 32 DVI or DisplayPort sources to the input connectors on the GefenPRO 32x32 Modular Matrix. DVI sources can be connected directly, or using CAT-5 or fiber, depending on input card used. Connect up to 32 outputs via DVI, CAT-5, or Fiber Optic cables depending on which output module is utilized. Connect an Ethernet cable from the network to the RJ-45 connector to use the built-in web server, Telnet, or UDP capability to control routing, EDID, and other functions. Connect an RS-232 cable from a RS-232 control device to control the matrix via RS-232. Connect the included AC power cords to the matrix and plug them into available electrical outlets. All sources will be routed as selected.

Flexible modular design allows customization of the configuration for input and output cards to match every need of the system and application. The core of the system consists of the 32x32 Modular Matrix Frame; a powerful, expandable video distribution hub that contains eight expansion bays. Four are for use with input cards and another four are reserved for output cards. For the input cards, you can mix and match between DVI, CAT-5, Fiber Optic, and/or DisplayPort. For the output cards, there are multiple options. Firstly you can have a basic Modular Matrix 8 DVI Output card for use when you don’t need extension. If you need signal extension, there are two options: one uses fiber optic, while the other utilizes CAT-5 and ELR Outputs. If the display connects to a Receiver unit, the Receiver unit will convert the signal back to DVI. The Receiver unit is powered over the CAT-5 cable.
