To learn more about why AMX acquired AutoPatch, Endeleo and Matrix and where this synergy is headed, check out this month's From The Top with Rashid Skaf, AMX president and CEO.

World's Finest Switchers
AutoPatch specializes in professional matrix switchers designed to route any source signal to any combination of destinations while maintaining the original signal quality.

In addition to Matrix Switching, AutoPatch also carries a full line of amplification, digital signal processing and other AV integration products and accessories. Complete details on every AutoPatch product as well as pricing (which remains unaffected) are available at www.autopatch.com.

The AutoPatch Matrix Switching line includes six matrix familes from our pre-configured off-the-shelf Precis Series switchers to the incredibly customizable, large-scale Epica Series. An oveview of each family is discussed below.

Precis Series
The Precis Series is designed to incorporate the convenience of a fixed matrix switcher with the features, specifications and signal choices of our larger lines.

Our LT models are designed for small to mid-range applications including home theater, boardrooms, sports bars, video conferencing, retail, security and portable command-control centers.

With robust features like a 10-band graphic equalizer, input gain, volume, tone, and balance control, the new PrecisLT with DSP provides the ultimate solution for distributed audio.

The Precis Series 6x2 CAT-5 model routes and converts six S-video + stereo inputs out to two CAT-5 outputs for distribution up to 1000 feet.

The Precis HT is designed to route and distribute composite and component (including Y/Pb/Pr and HDTV) video and analog and digital audio. All Precis HT models come standard with volume control.

1Y Series
The 1Y Series is a customizable system allowing for as many as four signal types, up to 16x16 per signal type in the same system.

Applications include boardrooms, video arraignment systems, security applications, education and residential.

Optima Series
The Optima is designed with a platform base on which more than 15 signal types can be stacked. It can easily handle the signal diversity of an entire installation, replacing multiple small routers.

Ideal for any mid range routing application including sports bars, meeting rooms, education and government facilities.

Modula Series
With Modula, simply build your system in increments of 4 inputs and/or outputs (up to 32x32) in each available signal type. Multiple signal types can be combined in the same enclosure (as space allows) or in the same system via linking enclosures. With routing boards built into the enclosure, I/O boards simply slide into place as needed to increase matrix size at the time of purchase, or in the field.

The Modula Skewed enclosures are the most cost-effective solution for systems with very uneven I/O requirements. With routing boards built into the enclosure, I/O boards simply slide into place as needed to increase matrix size at the time of purchase, or in the field. And, as with all Modula systems multiple signal types in various I/O ranges can be combined in the same system.

The Modula Series 4 is designed to route RGBHV over HD-15 connections. A single 4 rack unit enclosure can hold up to 32x32 RGBHV at 1/2 the cost of the traditional BNC model. For even more flexibility audio boards, and video boards using traditional BNC connectors, can be combined in the same enclosure (as space allows), or in the same system via linking enclosures.

The Modula CatPro can receive, route, and transmit uncompressed RGBHV + stereo over category cable without worrying about exact cable measurements or readjusting gain, peak, and skew when routing signal paths of various lengths.

8Y-3000 Series
The 8Y-3000 is a dependable, high-performance solution for large signal routing applications.

It is a trusted cornerstone in many sports facilities, entertainment venues and mission critical command-control centers.

Epica Series
The Epica Series is the perfect solution for large scale, high-performance signal routing, or for smaller scale routing that requires large growth capability.

The Epica-128 and Epica-256 are modular, allowing system designers to start as small as 16 inputs/outputs, and scale the system up to a full 256x256 per signal type. The Epica Series is a dependable high performance solution for mission critical applications.
