The Harris Platinum™ MX matrix switcher features a robust architecture that ensures your investment is future-proof, providing unparalleled value for your mid-sized matrix needs. All Platinum MX frames offer independent audio and video signal paths and crosspoints, delivering full versatility regardless of matrix size. The Platinum MX is designed to support high-quality matrix distribution of all analog and digital audiovisual signals, allowing for seamless embedding of separate audio into video without the need for auxiliary audio cards.
Harris continues its tradition of innovation with the highly acclaimed Platinum Matrix System — an eight-channel frame sync input card that can synchronize up to eight active video signals to a local reference signal without the need for external chassis or wiring. This optional card also de-embeds up to 16 channels of embedded audio from each video signal, allowing for independent routing and allocation.
The goal of the Platinum MX matrix switcher is to support 24/7 uninterrupted operation, making it ideal for environments such as networking, local broadcasting, mobile production, cable television, telecommunications, military, government, and corporate applications—any setting that requires matrix distribution and processing of a large number of audio and video signals.
