Mondo Direct
In
some switching applications where the sources are in close proximity to
the matrix switch, Magenta’s Mondo Direct eliminates the need for
standalone transmitters by supporting direct video and audio/serial
inputs into the switch. Moreover, the Mondo Direct is the only platform
that can combine local sources with remote sources in a single
switching platform and can support the extension of AV and serial
signals up to a range of 2000ft/609m. Transmitted to the switch via
UTP, the remote inputs can be mixed with the direct inputs in
configurations that are scalable up to 16 direct inputs + 32 remote
inputs x 128 outputs, or 32 direct inputs x 128 outputs. Like the Mondo
II and Mondo III, the Mondo Direct also future proofs your investment
by allowing for the addition of inputs and outputs in increments of 16
and is compatible with all MultiView -A and -S products.
The
Mondo Direct can be programmed and controlled using the onboard
touch-screen, Windows HyperTerminal, Magenta’s Mondo Matrix Control
Software, or 3rd party control systems such as AMX or Crestron.
Key Features
Full matrix switching and UTP extension of HD-video and audio1 OR serial2 signals
Audio and serial signals can be switched independently of video
Scalable and field upgradable from 16x16 to 16V+32UTPx1283 or 32Vx1283
Compatible with all MultiView-A and-S transmitters, receivers and distribution amplifiers
Enables extension of 1920x1200 resolution video from 1 to 2000ft/609m4
32Vx163 or 16V+32UTPx1283 support in a 4U Chassis uses significantly lower rack-space than RGB co-axial switchers

Mondo Direct Control Options
All
Mondo Matrix commands must be inputted via the RS-232 serial port on
the master frame (first frame) of a Mondo. All input to output
switching commands are received and processed by the master frame.
Additional frames used within the matrix are connected in a daisy chain
and receive processed commands from the master frame.
A:
At its most basic, control commands can be sent to a Mondo using HyperTerminal,
a program built into Windows operating systems. HyperTerminal can be
useful for initial testing of a Mondo after installation or for
troubleshooting/diagnostic testing post-install.
Other more full-bodied third-part control systems are also available and detailed below:
B:
Magenta Research Mondo Matrix Control Software
is a modified version of Knox Video’s Chameleon control software and
currently ships on a CD-ROM with each Mondo Matrix sold. The
user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows users to control a
Mondo with a few mouse clicks. The software is included at no charge.

Use of Crestron and AMX or other control systems are also supported.
A full listing of commands can be found in the Mondo Matrix manual (PDF). |
