This 32X32 component matrix switch sends 32 devices to 32 TV's. Because it is a 32X32 matrix switcher, it allows any input to be routed to any output; or the same input to be routed to all outputs, or any combination.

This Colorado-32X32 Component Video Matrix Switch allows you to matrix send 32 video sources to 32 HDTV's and expand it even greater in's and outs. The Colorado-32X32 Component Video Matrix Switch is the most cost effective high performance matrix switch on the the market. It supports both HD component video and digital audio, plus offers easy integration with external HDMI matrix switches.

If you need to add right and left analog audio and composite video switching, pair this switch with the companion 32x32 Audio Matrix Switch with built-in volume controls and composite video.

TIP 1: If you have composite video needs the green input of the component cable in and out can be used. The matrix switcher however DOES NOT convert composite to component and the outputs ZONES must be followed. Composite video cable lengths up to around 500 feet are fine for composite.

If you buy the optional Colorado-Audio-32X32 companion 32X32 audio matrix switcher you get a 256 step input audio volume equalization. This feature allows you to set gain/attenuation for each audio input. The intent is to equalize the volume from all your sources, eliminating the need to manually adjust the volume every time you select that satellite box with the low level output.

The companion 32X32 audio matrix switcher still has the programmable OUTPUT volume settings and the above two work together to provide seamless stable volume control.

If you haven't yet had a chance to use the volume control features on the companion 32X32 audio matrix switcher, I'd like to remind you that Snap AV makes a good, inexpensive 12 channel fixed gain power amp that pairs perfectly with the companion 32X32 audio matrix switcher. These together give you a complete solution for driving in wall speakers, and will save you hundreds of dollars from your current solution.

Key features of the Colorado-32X32 Component Video Matrix Switch:

This Colorado-32X32 Component Video Matrix Switch allows any 32 of the 32 component video and 28 digital ( not right and left analog audio ) audio inputs to be switched to any of the 32 independent component and 28 digital audio outputs and is perfect for a bar, restaurant or multi-room home theater system.

TIP 2: Long component cables can be used depending on the specs of the cable. As with any cable at 1080i, look at the loss per meter at 30Mhz. Don't go beyond -3dB.

This Colorado-32X32 Component Video Matrix Switch Video distribution system is the ideal amplifier for driving long video cables in your home. Many vendors claim their products can do this, but very few can accomplish this without distortion of the video. The most important amplifier design factors in driving long cables are source impedance matching, output connector quality, amplifier bandwidth, and amplifier current drive and slew rate.

The output amplifiers of the Colorado-32X32 Component Video Matrix Switch use the best components for all these, resulting in the best signal distribution you can get.

ZeroKey Technology: The remote control interface can use ZeroKey infrared code cloning to map any remote control key to each of the inputs and outputs. ZeroKey technology is compatible with virtually all remote controls, and does not interfere with the normal operation of the remote. 

ZeroKey programming is stored in flash memory, and you will not need to reprogram even if you lose power. If you buy a new remote in the future, don't worry, the Colorado can be reprogrammed as much as you like.

Alternately, you can buy the above Sony programmable universal remote control and we will furnish you the software to fully control this Colorado 32x32 Component Video Matrix Switch. Just send a separate email for the software.

HDMI Expansion Capability: The Colorado-32X32 Component Video Matrix Switch has the ability to seamlessly add HDMI matrix switching capability. Simply purchase one of our HDMI matrix switches and connect the RS-232 port from the HDMI switch to the expansion port on the Colorado. You will be able to switch the HDMI matrix through the same control interface you use to switch the Colorado. No need for a separate remote or RS-232 controller.

How to program a remote control to operate a Colorado 16X32 component matrix switcher: To do a full 32x32 component video you will need 68 remote keys. Generally the remote control should be a programmable remote. In that case, the setup is very easy.

• Download the Pronto codes from our web site, upload these to their remote (if it doesn't support CCF, you can use the HEX format)
• Use the 16 output select and 16 input select codes as is, these will work for both switches
• For switch one, the "V" select code will just be the default
• For switch two, copy the "A" select code to a "V2" select code
• On switch two, learn the "V2" code into zerokey IR code 0.
• You're done.
• To control outputs 1-16 send Code "V", send output select code, send input select code
• To control outputs 17-32 send Code "V2", send output select code (output -16), send input select code
• To control outputs 33-48 send Code "V3", send output select code (output -32), send input select code
• To control outputs 49-64 send Code "V2", send output select code (output -16), send input select code
