Black Box Matrix Switch Modular Interface Card

The Black Box Matrix Switch Modular Interface Card is a pivotal component of the DKM FX Modular Extender System, engineered to deliver scalable, high-efficiency matrix switching in modern AV installations. Built to support a wide range of configurations, this interface card thrives in environments that demand flexible signal routing, modular expandability, and resilient performance. From compact conference rooms to expansive control rooms and broadcast centers, the Matrix Switch Modular Interface Card is designed to maximize reliability while minimizing complexity. It integrates seamlessly with Black Box’s DKM FX chassis, enabling you to deploy a customized matrix switching solution that grows with your organization, adapts to evolving AV needs, and delivers dependable routing across multiple formats and devices.

  • Flexible, modular architecture that aligns with the DKM FX ecosystem. This interface card is designed to work within chassis that offer 2-, 4-, 6-, or 21-slot configurations, providing scalable routing capacity for small teams up to enterprise deployments. The modular approach reduces upfront costs and minimizes downtime when expanding or reconfiguring your system, letting you tailor the solution precisely to the room size, number of sources, and required destinations.
  • High-performance matrix switching with robust signal integrity. The card is engineered to execute rapid, reliable routing decisions across a dense network of inputs and outputs. While exact performance figures vary by configuration and installed interface modules, the design emphasizes low latency, precise crosspoint switching, and careful signal management to preserve video and audio quality across long cable runs and multi-format environments.
  • Extensive compatibility with transmitter and receiver interface cards. The DKM FX extender family is built for interoperability, and this modular interface card supports a broad range of transmitter and receiver modules to suit your specific application. Whether you’re distributing HDMI, SDI, or other professional AV formats, you can mix and match interface options to create a tailored path from source to display, while keeping a unified control plane for routing and management.
  • Simple, future-ready upgrade path within a modular system. Because the solution is built around modular interface cards and chassis-based expansion, you can expand capacity or update capabilities without replacing the entire system. This approach minimizes disruption, protects your existing investment, and enables you to adopt new formats or additional routes as your requirements evolve—often by swapping or adding cards rather than performing a full rebuild.
  • Ideal for a wide range of professional environments. The Black Box Matrix Switch Modular Interface Card is suited for corporate AV, education, government facilities, control rooms, production studios, and broadcast environments where dependable routing, compact footprints, and scalable infrastructure are essential. Its compatibility with the DKM FX modular extender system makes it a versatile choice for projects that demand resilient performance, easy maintenance, and long-term adaptability.

how to install Black Box Matrix Switch Modular Interface Card

  • Power down the DKM FX chassis and follow all facility safety and antistatic precautions before handling any internal components.
  • Identify an available slot in your DKM FX chassis that matches the card’s form factor and connectivity requirements. Confirm that the chassis is compatible with the module type and does not exceed the designed slot count for your configuration.
  • Gently align the Matrix Switch Modular Interface Card with the slot guides and insert it until it seats firmly in the backplane. Ensure the card is fully seated and secured according to the chassis’ mounting hardware.
  • Attach any required transmitter and receiver interface modules to the new card as dictated by your routing plan. Verify all module connections are seated properly and that any required interconnect cables are routed cleanly to minimize interference and cable strain.
  • Power on the chassis and access the management interface to perform initial configuration. Define routing maps, assign input/output ports, and establish any necessary network or control connections for centralized management.
  • Test the system thoroughly by routing representative signals from installed sources to intended destinations. Check video and audio integrity, timing, and synchronization, and adjust EDID/format settings or cable runs as needed to optimize performance.
