3. If you selected IP [LAN] in step 2, the IP Connection window appears.

a. Examine the Matrix IP Address field, which displays the last Matrix IP address entered.

If necessary, enter the correct IP address in the field.

N192.168.254.254 is the factory-specified default value for this field.

b. If the switcher is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user password in the Password field.

c. Click Connect. The Matrix Switchers Control Program is ready for operation.

Accessing the HTML Pages

Another way to operate the switcher is via its factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten. The switcher’s HTML pages are accessible through its LAN port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. See h on page 2-5, for connection information.

Configuring for Network Communication

The first time you connect a PC to a switcher BME via its LAN port, you may need to temporarily change the PC’s IP settings in order to communicate with the controller. Then you must change the controller’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional] administrator name and password) in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN) or on the Internet. After you have set up the CrossPoint or MAV switcher BME for network communication, you can reset the PC to its original network configuration.

NThe computer and the switcher BME must both be connected to the same subnet on a LAN (using a straight- through cable). Alternatively, you can use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the controller directly to the computer.

Use the ARP command to configure the IP address as follows:

1.

Obtain a valid IP address for the CrossPoint or MAV

 

switcher BME from the network administrator.

2.

Obtain the switcher BME’s MAC address (UID #) from the

 

label on its rear panel. The MAC address should have this

 

format: 00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx.

3.

If the switcher BME has never been configured and is

 

still set for factory defaults, go to step 4. If not, perform

 

a Mode 4 system reset. For detailed information

 

on reset modes, see “Rear Panel Operations” in the

 

CrossPoint 450 Plus / MAV Plus Switcher User's Manual.

NThe switcher BME must be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.254.254) before the ARP command is executed, as described below.

4. At the PC, access the MS-DOS command prompt, then enter the arp –scommand. Type in the desired new IP address for the unit (obtained in step 1) and the unit’s MAC address (from the unit's rear panel). For example: arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0and then press {Enter}.

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. Its adaptability and robust performance make it an essential tool for professional AV environments, catering to a broad range of applications and ensuring a seamless experience for users and audiences alike.
