Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls the operation of the switcher can be upgraded in the field via the RS-232 port, without taking the switcher out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron website, www.extron.com, and they can be installed using the Windows-based control program.

Global memory presets — Sixteen global memory presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store input/output configurations in advance. You can then recall those configurations, when needed, with a few simple steps. On each model, there are as many presets available from the front panel as there are input and output buttons:

•MVX 44s have 8 presets available on the front panel

•MVX 48s and MVX 84s have 12 presets available on the front panel

•MVX 88s have 16 presets available on the front panel

On smaller MVXs, presets that are not available from the front panel are still available under RS-232 or optional IR 501 control.

Rack mountable — With the included rack mounting kit, the switchers can be mounted in any conventional 19-inch wide rack.

Under-desk mountable — With an optional desk mounting kit, the switchers can be mounted under a desk, podium, or other furniture.

Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — If an MVX Series switcher is installed in an open area where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, a security lockout feature can be implemented. When the front panel is locked, a special button combination is required to unlock the front panel controller before it can be operated. Ties can still be viewed.

When the front panel is locked out, the switcher can still be operated via the RS-232 link.

Power supply — The internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz 30 watts power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
