Power connection

1AC power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord into this connector to connect the switcher to a 100 to 240VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz power source.

Video input and output connections

All video input and output connections to the CrossPoint 42 are made with female BNC connectors. Some types of video output devices do not have BNC video output connectors. For these cases, a suitable cable or connector adapter is necessary between the device output connector and the BNC input connector of the CrossPoint.

RGBHV video inputs — Connect RGBHV video inputs to these BNC connectors for each input.

RGBHV video outputs — Connect RGBHV video outputs to these BNC connectors for each output.

The CrossPoint 42 HVA switcher can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, or composite video by using four, three, two, or one BNC. If switching a video format other than RGBHV, ensure that the same video planes (R, G, B, H/HV, and/or V) are used on the switcher output as on the input. H/HV and V will switch sync signals only, but will not switch video.

The CrossPoint 42 HVA switcher does not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.

42 HVA specifications

The Extron Electronics 42 HVA (High Voltage Adapter) is a notable product designed for enhancing audio-visual systems. It is primarily focused on the distribution of high-definition video signals over long distances, making it a valuable asset for educational institutions, corporate environments, and large venues.

One of the standout features of the Extron 42 HVA is its ability to support HDBaseT technology. This allows for the transmission of uncompressed HD video, audio, Ethernet, control signals, and power over a single CAT6 cable. This capability not only simplifies installation but also reduces the amount of cabling required, allowing for a cleaner and more organized setup.

The 42 HVA boasts a robust design that can handle resolutions up to 4K, ensuring that high-quality video can be delivered without loss of fidelity. The unit is equipped with multiple input options, catering to a variety of sources such as computers, projectors, and displays. Its compatibility with different formats and resolutions makes it a versatile choice for any AV setup.

Another key feature is its advanced signal management technology. The 42 HVA supports EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management, which ensures that the connected devices are communicating correctly. This helps to prevent issues such as resolution mismatches and allows users to achieve optimal performance from their AV system.

Additionally, the 42 HVA incorporates a feature known as automatic cable equalization. This technology enhances the signal integrity over long cable runs, allowing the device to maintain the quality of the transmitted video even at greater distances. This is particularly important in large venues where cable lengths can be significant.

For ease of use, the Extron 42 HVA includes an intuitive interface that simplifies the setup process. The device can be easily integrated into existing AV systems, and its compact design allows for flexible mounting options. This adaptability makes it an excellent choice for both new installations and upgrades to existing systems.

In summary, the Extron Electronics 42 HVA is a powerful tool in the realm of AV technology. With its HDBaseT support, high-resolution capabilities, and advanced signal management features, it meets the demands of modern audio-visual environments. Its design, functionality, and versatility make it an ideal solution for delivering high-quality video signals over long distances in a range of professional settings.
