AutoPatch Matrix Switching
Technical Tips

 

 

• What type of warranty does AMX offer on AutoPatch equipment?
  All AMX AutoPatch equipment is covered under the standard AMX warranty as described in the AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer. This warranty can be extended to a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all Modula, Modula Series4, Modula CatPro, 8Y-3000, Epica and EpicaDG matrix switchers by completing the warranty documentation as defined in the AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer.

• AutoPatch DVI signal transmission and routing equipment maintain the true digital purity of the original signal and do not alter the signal in any way (such as frame rate reduction, video compression or color space reduction).

• Any AutoPatch Matrix Switcher can be ordered without a blank front panel.
  If you do not require direct control of the matrix switcher via the front panel you can order your system without a front panel.  In addition, multiple enclosure systems only require one of the enclosures to have a front panel for control of the entire system.

• Your AutoPatch Matrix Switcher is shipped with a printed connector guide defining each individual connector by type, signal and the system configuration levels for quick and easy reference.
  Use this guide when you are connecting cables to your Switcher, and for reference when switching to ensure you are calling out the correct level.

• S/PDIF and AES 75Ω digital audio signals can be routed over any standard video board within the AutoPatch matrix switcher lines.

• There is a simple guide available for customizing an AutoPatch Optima matrix switcher.
  The Optima can replace multiple small routers with one system using two enclosure options and more than 50 mix-and-match board styles.  We have created an easy-to-use configuration guide.  For the most current version please visit AMX.com.

• The AutoPatch Modula Series is available in skewed configurations for installations with very uneven input/output ranges.
  AutoPatch Modula Series switchers heavy input enclosures that are designed to route 16x48, 12x52, 8x56 or 4x60 in 3RU, and heavy output enclosures that are designed to route 48x16, 52x12, 56x8 or 60x4 in 3RU.  These systems are available in multiple signal types.
