Optical inputs, unique redundancy options for inputs, outputs and controller and many more features provide great flexibility and reliability. ARCHIMEDES is built in standard configurations of 32x32, 32x64, 64x32 or 64x64. It can be easily upgraded to 64 x 64 in increments of 8.

The LNB power option for each RF input port is capable of delivering LNB power, polarity and the band of the LNB. The ARCHIMEDES matrix switch provides an integrated TV Receiver operated via the multi-touch display.
