Introduction, cont’d

In this manual, the term “video model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher that switches video.

In this manual, the term “audio model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher that switches audio.

All audio models, with the exception of the MAV Plus 128 AV RCA, input and output audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.

The MAV Plus 128 AV RCA inputs and outputs audio on RCA connectors.

For all switchers with video and audio, the audio switching can either be 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 its Ethernet port, its rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port, or its front panel Configuration (RS-232) port (matrix sizes up to 1616 only). The matrix switchers are programmed with Extron’s Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™), a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a control system or PC without programming long, obscure strings of code. SIS commands can be entered via either the Ethernet link or either serial link.

The Ethernet port can be connected through a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).

The CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher features e-mail notification of maintenance or other concerned personnel concerning the status of the power supplies and fans and the loss or resumption of sync on individual inputs.

The Ethernet port or either serial port can be connected to a control system, a PC, or Extron’s MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel.

The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures with 19" rack ears. The amount of vertical rack space required for each switcher is as follows:
