About this Manual

This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron CrossPoint 300 Wideband RGBHV Analog Matrix Awitchers.

About the Matrix Switchers

Matrix switchers distribute any input signal to any combination of outputs. The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.

The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex wideband video and/or audio routing applications (figure 1-1). Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.

The matrix switchers are available in a variety of matrix sizes (the matrix size is the number of inputs and outputs):

CrossPoint 300 84 (8 inputs by 4 outputs)

CrossPoint 300 88 (8 inputs by 8 outputs)

CrossPoint 300 816 (8 inputs by 16 outputs)

CrossPoint 300 124 (12 inputs by 4 outputs)

CrossPoint 300 128 (12 inputs by 8 outputs)

CrossPoint 300 168 (16 inputs by 8 outputs)

CrossPoint 300 1212 (12 inputs by 12 outputs)

CrossPoint 300 1616 (16 inputs by 16 outputs)

CrossPoint 300 series switchers offer two models of each matrix size: HV for switching RGBHV video signals only, and HVA models for switching RGBHV video and two-channel stereo audio (balanced and unbalanced).

The CrossPoint 300 Series switchers have a video bandwidth of 300 MHz (-3 dB). All models can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, and composite video signals.

All HVA models input and output audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. For all HVA switchers, the audio switching can be either linked with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable input audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences between audio inputs.

Each matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via either its rear panel RS-232/ RS-422 port or its front panel Configuration (RS-232) port. The matrix switchers are programmed with the Extron Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™). These basic ASCII commads provide simple control through a control system or PC without programming long, obscure strings of code. SIS commands can be entered via the serial port links.

Either serial port can be connected to a control system, a PC, or the Extron

MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control keypads.

The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures with rack ears to fit in a 19" rack.

The CrossPoint 300 84, 88, 124, and 128 are in a 3U-high enclosure.

The CrossPoint 300 816, 168, 1212, and 1616 are in a 6U-high enclosure.

Each model has an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 65 watt, autoswitching power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
