OVERVIEW
Modula Matrix Switchers are fully customizable and available in multiple enclosure types to meet the signal management needs of any mid to large size audiovisual installation. The Modula Series is designed for flexibility; input / output boards simply slide into place as needed to increase matrix size. This can be done at the time of purchase, or later in the field.

Standard Modula 32x32 3RU enclosures can accommodate up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs in a wide variety of signal styles including stereo audio, mono audio, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, RGBHV, component video (including RGBS, RGsB, RGB, YUV, Y/Pb/Pr and HDTV), Y/c, S-Video and composite video. We also have systems with integrated video transmission over twisted pair. Various signal styles can be combined in a single enclosure or enclosures can easily link together under a single control view for larger systems (for example a 32x32 composite video + stereo audio system would have 2 enclosures - one for the video and one for the audio).

Modula Series4, Modula 32x32 4RU enclosures, are designed to route RGBHV with HD-15 connections, this saves a tremendous amount of rack space as only a single HD-15 connector is used for a given RGBHV input or output - rather than 5 BNC connections.

We even have skewed enclosures to help with installations that have very uneven input / output requirements such as 16x48 or 52x12.

The video frequency response in the Modula series is a tight ±3 dB, unlike other manufacturers who specify only -3 dB to allow for the use of excessive peaking, damaging the signal, to record a wider bandwidth. Virtual matrix programming levels allow multiple enclosures to be treated as a single system, or single enclosures to be treated as multiple independent routers. And, every system can be controlled using a variety of methods including local control panel, standard RS-232/422 control port, and optional remote and TCP/IP control (TCP/IP is via our external APWeb module).

COMMON APPLICATION
With so many enclosure styles to choose from, Modula Customizable Matrix Switchers can be used anyplace multiple audio and video sources need to be routed to multiple destinations without restriction. These systems are a proven cornerstone in thousands of installations worldwide including command and control, sports bars, theaters, auditoriums, arenas, digital signage, cruise ships and much more.
