Modular Matrix Switcher for a North American Traffic Control Center

Client Background

Challenges

• Legacy fixed-port matrix switchers caused downtime during maintenance, risking delays in traffic incident response.
• The center needed to add 30 new cameras in 2026, requiring expandable I/O ports.
• Signal latency had to be near-zero to ensure timely response to accidents and congestion.
  

BeingHD Solution

1. Hot-Swappable Design: Equipped the switcher with hot-swappable HDMI and HDBaseT boards, power supplies, and fans, allowing maintenance without system downtime.
2. Seamless Switching: Delivered near-zero latency (≤1ms) switching, enabling operators to instantly focus on critical intersections during incidents.
3. Video Wall Integration: Integrated with the center’s 16-screen video wall, allowing custom layouts (e.g., 4×4 grid for wide-area monitoring) and one-click signal routing.
4. Future-Proofing: Left 8 empty slots for additional I/O boards, supporting the 30 new cameras without replacing the core unit.

Results

• Eliminated maintenance downtime (from 4 hours/month to 0), improving incident response efficiency by 25%.
• Supported 30 new cameras with a simple board upgrade, saving $50,000 in hardware replacement costs.
• Reduced operator training time by 30% thanks to the intuitive web GUI and multi-control options.
• Maintained 100% system uptime during extreme weather events, critical for traffic management.
