Matrix switcher apparatus

Abstract

Abstract A matrix switcher apparatus provided with a plurality of matrix switcher units each including a plurality of first input terminals, a plurality of second input terminals, a plurality of first output terminals, and a plurality of second output terminals, the plurality of matrix switcher units being arranged in a matrix form, wherein, between the adjacent matrix switcher units, the plurality of first input terminals and the plurality of first output terminals are connected and the plurality of second input terminals and the plurality of second output terminals are connected, thus to constitute a signal switcher of M inputs × N outputs as a whole. Wherein control means for storing identification information to identify the first input terminals and the second output terminals, and for controlling cross points of the matrix switcher units are provided every matrix switcher units, thus to deliver selective instruction signals for signal input and output terminals to the respective control means, whereby the control means control ON/OFF of the cross points on the basis of the selective instruction signals. respectively.
