The control and switching methods of a HD Modular Matrix Switch can be broadly summarized into the following five types:
Manual Button Control: This is a simple and direct switching method. The HD Modular Matrix Switch is usually equipped with physical buttons or knobs on the front panel, allowing users to manually switch input sources and output destinations.
Remote Control: This is a more convenient switching method. The matrix switch is typically accompanied by a remote control, enabling users to switch input sources and output devices by pressing the corresponding keys on the remote.
RS-232 Serial Port Control: The HD modular matrix switch can be controlled and switched via an RS-232 serial port. This common serial communication interface allows the matrix to connect to a computer or other control device for remote control and management. By sending specific commands, users can remotely switch the matrix's input sources and output devices.
Network Control: Equipped with a built-in Ethernet interface, the matrix switch can connect to a local area network (LAN) and communicate via network control protocols (such as HTTP, TCP/IP). Users can employ corresponding management software or a web interface on computers, phones, or other network terminal devices to achieve remote switching control of the matrix's inputs and outputs.
LAN Control Switching: This category can be further divided into mobile phone WEB control switching and APP control switching within the LAN. It primarily involves using smartphones, tablets, or PC apps/web interfaces to control the switching of multiple signals for display on large screens.
