Matrix switchers are used to route multiple audio/video inputs to multiple outputs. Matrix switchers can be pre-set with various configurations to automatically route an input to a specific output based upon an established priority.

Since matrix switchers are used for audio and video purposes to route signals, they may be known as A/V Switchers, as well as Matrix Routers, or A/V Routing Switches.

Matrix switchers are built in a variety of configurations, from a standalone switcher, to eight inputs to eight outputs, known as an 8×8 matrix switcher, to a 16×16 switch, which can be mounted onto a rack and used with various to build a 256×512 matrix switcher.
