Remote Control

Selected SIS Commands

The switchers have Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands that you can use for operation and configuration. You can run these commands from a PC connected to either of the switcher’s serial ports or the Ethernet port. See g (page 2-4), h (page 2-5),and

l(page 2-6),for connection information.

Establishing a network (Ethernet) connection

NIf you connect to the switcher via the LAN port, and it is the first time you have done so, you may change the controller’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator name and password). See "Configuring for Network Communication" for details.

Establish a network connection as follows:

1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the switcher’s IP address.

NThe factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.

The switcher responds with a copyright message including the date, the name of the product, the firmware version, the part number, and the current date/time.

NIf the switcher is not password-protected, the device is now ready to accept SIS commands.

NIf the switcher is password-protected, a password prompt appears.

2. If the switcher is password protected, enter the appropriate password.

If the password is accepted, the switcher responds with Login User or Login Administrator.

If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.

Connection timeouts

The Ethernet link times out and disconnects after a designated period of time of no communications. By default, this timeout value is set to five minutes but the value can be changed. See the Set Connection Timeout command on page 4-9.

NExtron recommends leaving the default timeout at five minutes and periodically issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active or disconnecting the socket and reopening the connection when necessary.

Number of connections

A switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all HTTP sockets and Telnet connections. When the connection limit is reached, the switcher accepts no new connections until some have been closed. No error message or indication is given that the connection limit has been reached. To maximize performance of your switcher, the number of connections should stay low and unnecessary open sockets should be closed.

Verbose mode

Telnet connections to a switcher can be used to monitor for changes that occur on the switcher, such as front panel operations and SIS commands from other Telnet sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive change notices from the switcher, the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 3. See the Verbose Mode command on page 4-9.In verbose mode 3, the Telnet socket reports changes in messages that resemble SIS command responses.

Host-to-switcher instructions

The switcher accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through either serial port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

NThe table that begins on the next page is a partial list of SIS commands. For a complete listing, refer to the CrossPoint 450 Plus / MAV Plus Switcher User's Manual, chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”.

MAV specifications

Extron electronics are renowned for their cutting-edge technology in the realm of AV systems and distribution solutions. Among its notable products, the MAV series stands out as an advanced tool for managing audio/video signals across various applications. The Extron MAV, or Multi-Format Audio/Video Switcher, provides a seamless approach to switching between multiple sources effortlessly, making it an integral component in modern AV setups.

One of the main features of the Extron MAV is its multi-format switching capability. It supports a wide variety of video signals, including HDMI, VGA, display port, and composite video, allowing users to connect different devices without worrying about compatibility issues. This versatility is particularly beneficial in environments such as classrooms, conference rooms, and auditoriums, where multiple input sources like laptops, projectors, and other multimedia devices are commonly used.

Another significant characteristic of the MAV series is its robust audio integration. The MAV not only switches video signals but also routes audio through its built-in audio switcher. This feature simplifies the workflow by allowing users to manage audio from the same interface, ensuring synchronized audio and video output. The device also supports advanced audio features, including audio de-embedding and analog audio outputs, making it suitable for complex AV systems.

The MAV employs Extron's proprietary technologies to enhance signal integrity. For instance, it adopts advanced signal processing to prevent degradation of video quality, maintaining a clear and crisp image even over long distances. The incorporation of automatic switching allows for a quick transition when the active source changes, ensuring minimal downtime during presentations.

The intuitive user interface of the MAV is another defining characteristic. It can be controlled through a dedicated touchscreen or via a web-based interface, providing flexibility in how users interact with the system. Additionally, the MAV can be integrated with control systems like Extron’s Global Scripter, enabling customized automation and enhanced interactivity.

In summary, the Extron MAV exemplifies advanced AV technology with its multi-format switching, integrated audio management, superior signal processing, and user-friendly interface.
