explanation of audio level adjustment is included in Viewing and adjusting the audio level later in this chapter.

Audio/-dB LED — The Conf/Save button selects and deselects audio for a configuration being created or viewed. The Audio/-dB LED lights to indicate that audio is available for configuration or viewing. The Audio/-dB LED lights steadily to indicate that the audio follows the video configuration. The Audio/-dB LED (and the LED for the selected audio input) blink to indicate that the audio configuration is broken away from the video configuration. In audio level display/adjust mode this LED indicates attenuation (-) of the audio level.

Video/+dB LED — The Conf/Save button selects and deselects video for a configuration being created or viewed. The Video/+dB LED lights to indicate that video is available for configuration or viewing. In audio level display/ adjust mode this LED indicates a gain (+) in the audio level.

Front Panel Operations

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample procedures for creating ties and configurations; changing a configuration; viewing ties and configurations; and viewing and adjusting the audio level.

Power

Power is automatically applied when the power cord is connected to an AC source. When AC power is applied, the switcher performs a self-test that blinks the front panel LEDs during the test. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves the RGBHV LED, Audio LED, Output 1 LED, and Input 1 LED on and all other LEDs off.

During the first power up, Input 1 is tied to Output 1, so both LEDs will light. During subsequent power ups, the LED for the input that is tied to Output 1 will light.

The current configuration is saved in non-volatile memory. When power is applied, the last current configuration is retrieved.

If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and will not operate. If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

Creating a configuration

The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. To change the current configuration, do the following:

1.

Press the Conf/Save button to select video, audio, or both for configuration.

2.Select the desired output by pressing and releasing the Outputs button to cycle through output 1 or output 2.

3.Select the desired input by pressing and releasing the appropriate Input button.

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 to create a second tie, as desired.

1. Only one video input and one audio input can be tied to an output.

2.If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output was previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.

3.To indicate current ties, input LEDs light when an output is selected.

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.
