Abstract
A matrix switcher apparatus for selectively outputting information signals includes a first matrix switcher unit for selectively outputting an information signal according to control signals in the form of a first communication protocol, and a second matrix switcher unit for selectively outputting an information signal according to control signals in the form of a second communication protocol. The matrix switcher unit apparatus also includes a control unit having a plurality of remote control units each for generating control signals in the form of the first communication protocol in accordance with switching data input from an input unit, and a converting unit for converting control signals generated by the remote control units into control signals in the form of a second communication protocol.
