LXI cuts size and complexity of video matrix
August 24, 2007
Bob Stasonis of Pickering Interfaces and co-chair of the LXI marketing committee submitted this post:
A new Case Study on the LXI Consortium web site describes how the technology was used to reduce the size of a test system for multiple flat panel displays that required a 24 by 8 matrix, with the option to convert to a 48 by 8 matrix. While matrices of this size can be designed in a number of ways, none is physically small. Normally, the options include a tree structure or a hybrid structure of smaller matrices connected together in a way that avoids excessive transmission line degradation through capacitive loading by open stubs or the load of the open relays. In many cases, the performance suffered.
The LXI video matrix designed by Pickering Interfaces greatly simplified the design and occupies only 1U of full rack width space. It also reduced labor costs and simplified programming. The case study can be viewed here.
