FAQ > The Top 5 things To Know About DVI And HDMI™ Matrix Routing

1. What Is A “True” HD Matrix Router?
There are some “matrix routers” in the market that are merely a serial connection of Switches and Splitters to simulate matrix routing. However, these ‘switch/splitter routers’ are not flexible enough to realize a full matrixing of videos. A video matrix router must have the ability to route any video source to any display.

2. How Important Is Ease Of Control And Flexibility?
Matrix Routers are useful in real life applications, but only if they can be controlled easily. PureLink’s matrix routers can be controlled in a variety of ways, including RS232, LAN network, USB, and intuitive front panel control. All PureLink matrix routers come with control software that can be programmed easily and intuitively to route the signals. At the same time, it can be controlled via major brand external controllers such as Vista Spyder, Barco Encore, Crestron, and Altinex controllers via RS232 or LAN. PureLink uses simple but robust ascii, hex and TCP/IP protocols.

3. Why Is Reliablity Important?
A Matrix Router needs to be stable and reliable because it’s one of the most crucial components in any application. It’s failure usually means total blackout. Also, in many applications, Matrix Routers are powered on 24/7/365. PureLink matrix routers use proven, proprietary components with zero failure tolerance testing. In fact, PureLink matrix routers have been installed in over 100 mission critical military and medical applications since 2005.

4. How Important is Performance?
Today’s HD video sources and displays demand high bandwidth and high speed signal routing. Whether its 1920x1200 at 60Hz or 2048x1080 at 60Hz, PureLink customers know that its DVI and HDMI™ matrix routers cannot be outperformed by any other similar product in the world. IC driven signal regeneration, signal routing efficiency and use of reliable components are all necessary to achieve today’s HD signals.

5. Who Makes The Best DVI And HDMI Matrix Routers in the world?
PureLink. At this time, no other company manufactures a complete line of reliable DVI and HDMI™ matrix routers or provides a similar level of customer support before or after the sale. PureLink engineers are available to provide technical support to consult, design and troubleshoot any system configuration.
