It's simple. A Bernoulli trial produces one of only two outcomes (say 0 or 1). You can use binord. For example p=0.2; n=256; A=binornd(1,p*ones(n));
produces an nxn array of Bernoulli trials which are either 0 or 1 in each outcome. Hope this answers your question.

p=0.5; %probability of success
n=256;
A=rand(n);
A=(A<p)
or
p=0.5;
A=(rand(256)<p)

Careful, probability 1/2 might not be! See http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/246999-probability-1-2-with-matlab-random-number-generators

If you have a matrix A of 0 and 1 then you can make it a matrix of -1 and +1 by using
A*2 - 1
