Extron electronic MMX AV Series, MMX 42 AV, MMX 62 SVA RCA manual Description, Features

DESCRIPTION FEATURES (Cont.)

The Extron MMX Series of composite video and S-video matrix switchers with stereo audio (unbalanced or balanced) consists of eight models, in 4x2 and 6x2 I/O sizes, for easy integration into any system design. MMX A/V Series matrix switchers are available with captive screw or RCA audio connections.

The intuitive front panel buttons and LED indicators enable easy control of inputs and outputs for non-technical users. MMX A/V Series matrix switchers can be mounted in standard electronics racks, as well as within a podium, lectern, or other furniture.

Each model offers vertical interval switching, providing seamless transitions when switching between synchronous video sources. The video signal applied to input one is used as a genlock reference. All models are quad standard compatible for use with NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM format video signals. MMX A/V Series matrix switchers can be controlled via the front panel or through RS-232 for use with a third party control system.

FEATURES

■150 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded – Ensures switching and distribution of video signals without degradation. The ratings are worst case specifications, i.e., the MMX Series provide 150 MHz (-3 dB) at full performance capacity when one input signal drives all outputs.

■Buffered I/O – Each input and output is individually buffered to provide maximum performance with virtually no crosstalk.

■View I/O mode – Allows users to easily see which individual inputs and outputs are actively connected. Available from the front panel or RS-232 control.

■Vertical interval switching – Provides smooth, seamless transitions when switching between synchronous video sources. The video signal applied to input one is used as a genlock reference.

■Audio input gain and attenuation (adjustable via RS-232) – Allows users to set the level of audio gain or attenuation for each audio input channel, eliminating noticeable differences when switching between sources.

■Audio breakaway (adjustable via RS-232) – Provides the capability to break away an audio signal from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio channels to be operated as a separate matrix switcher.

■RS-232 control port – Using RS-232 serial commands, the unit can be controlled and configured via the included Windows®-based control software, or integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use the Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming. The RS-232 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.

■Front panel security lockout – Prevents unauthorized use in non- secure environments.

■Downloadable firmware updates – The latest firmware can be conveniently downloaded from the Extron Web site (www.extron.com). Updates for new features and capabilities can be easily upgraded via RS-232.

■Rack-mountable– 1U, half rack width metal enclosure can be rack-mounted using an optional rack shelf.

■External international power supply – Provides worldwide power compatibility (part # 70-055-01).
