Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel or via either serial port. The serial ports also allow remote control via a PC or control system.

QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC™) The front panel controller supports input and output selection, preset creation and selection, audio input gain and attenuation, and audio output level. The front panel features slots for labels that can identify each input and output with text or graphics.

Windows-based control program — For serial port remote control from a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides a graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The Windows-based control program also has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher configuration file at the home office and then download it for use by the switcher on site.

Simple Instruction Set (SIS) — The remote control protocol uses the Extron SIS for easy programming and operation.

Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote controllable, using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 remote control keypads. The remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each MKP can be used for input-to-output switching, one-touch switching for a particular output. The MKP 3000 also can be used for selection of global presets.

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

Labeling — The Extron Button Label Generator software ships with every Extron matrix switcher. You can create labels to place above the front panel input buttons and below the output buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with any Brother® P-Touchor comparable labeler.

Global memory presets — 20 or 32 (depending on the model) 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.

Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19" wide rack.

Three front panel security lockout modes (Executive modes) — If a matrix switcher is installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, either of two security lockout modes can be implemented (the third mode is unlocked). When a front panel locked mode is enabled, a special button combination or SIS command is required to unlock the front panel controller and make the front panel fully operational.

Power — The matrix switcher’s 100 VAC to 240 VAC, auto-switching, internal power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
