Difference in Matrix switcher and Multiplexer

Recommended Posts


A matrix switcher will allow audio and video inputs to be converted out to a different format and also to multiple outputs.

A multiplexer will let video in and give video control such as single camera or multiviews to one output and possibly in some cases out to a spot monitor as well.

A matrix switcher can route any input to any output. It can feed the same input to multiple outputs simultaneously. A matrix switch can only feed one camera at a time to a monitor.

 

A multiplexer typically puts multiple inputs on one output simultaneously; either in real time as a group (2x2, 3x3 or 4x4, etc.) or to a recorder (sequencing the inputs rapidly).

This is 100% correct. except you can program the multiplexer to synch the correct IPS (Images Per Second) to a recorder. Most Muxs have a list of supported recorders.
