I need a video switch that will connect 16 RGB video sources to 32 RGB video destinations. Since the signals are RGB, does this mean I need a 48×96 switching array?
This is a very frequent mistake when comparing switching vendors. It’s true that with this configuration example there is a total of 48 inputs and 96 outputs and a 48×96 switching array would work for the application, however, that solution has three times the switching elements required. With RGB video systems, each of the three signal types need to connect only to the associated output signal type. Red inputs (R) will only need to connect to red outputs (R), green inputs (G) to green outputs (G) and blue (B) inputs to blue outputs (B). Red inputs will never need to connect to green outputs….and so on. What this requirement needs for efficient connectivity is three levels of switching each having 16 inputs and 32 outputs. Sometimes, a fourth or fifth level of switching may be required for switching a horizontal sync or vertical sync signal as well. A typical application could utilize our Series G2S32 modules in a G2 mainframe. Each module would switch one level (color).
