if Pelco Had any leadership worth anything they would have invested in HD analog for cheap and easy swap outs with all of their legacy equipment. they would have made a fortune.
but guess its about time to put the final nail in the that coffin

Dahua looks like they have a SD/HD Matrix.

One possibility for customers with large existing analog infrastructure is the Bosch Allegiant matrix system. Although I have not used it recently, and it should be verified that Bosch still supports Allegiant, they are several factors that make it a possible solution for those who wish to maintain their large analog systems.

Pelco's 9780 matrix is the first product I learned when entering the business.

Simple, use encoders and a decent VMS. It's cheap, and you'll get advanced and improved functionalities.

Does this mean that we no longer need to carry 3.5" floppy disks anymore?

Jordi,
I am not so sure about cheap. What is your solution for, say, a jail that has 50 plus cameras integrated with a system, such as MTI. Many of the cameras coaxitron control PTZ. I assume the 9760 translator may go bye bye. Monitors need to be replaced. Integration with spot monitors on door control screen. In some cases, the MTI system may contain its own matrix, and encoders do not have loop outputs. New multi-monitor pc based control system. Joysticks. Nothing is cheap about moving from an analog matrix system to ip for large camera count systems, especially with ptz and coaxitron.

I get that this leaves people in somewhat of a predicament. The last time I sold a matrix switcher was 2005. If the cameras and infrastructure dates back to 2005 it's about due for an upgrade, no? Pelco, Bosch, and Panasonic have had this ongoing challenge where they continue to support legacy products under their newer flagship products. I understand it's so that they can continue to leverage their existing customer base and effectively eliminate competition who would advocate wholesale replacement. This also has several negative effects:
I'm glad to see this. Time to stop repainting that crumbling fence and build a new one.

Panasonic also recently eol'd their matrix. American Dynamics continues to manufacture the MP3200 series matrix on an as needed basis.

TVI or its equivalent is the solution ( I mention TVI as Dahua the flag-carrier for HDCI is making TVI things) . If there is a serious need the void will be filled for the Pelco protocols. I don't see this as a serious problem. It could well be less costly than pulling Cat5. Less costly better picture and by far.
I also second that Pelco was shortsighted. They should have seen the writing on the walls...
Well... another one bites the dust

Its all about conversion cost.
When I have Pelco installed systems and I can convert to Hd for Around 5 k per camera and 5 k for Vms upgrades , Well this gives the end user options to go elsewhere and change to Mpxl Technologies
If ? there were easy insert-able change out cameras which were designed, engineered to replace , upgrade fairly simple, w/o changing up infrastructure ,using existing housings and cost competitive , then this would justify keeping them in place.
Well ! Guess What , they took the highway, not the user friendly way.
This is what cost them thier position in the global market.
