About the CrossPoint Series Matrix Switchers

The Extron CrossPoint Series Matrix Switchers are analog RGBHV matrix switchers that distribute any input to any combination of outputs. The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously. There are six series available that offer a variety of matrix sizes:

•CrossPoint 84 (eight inputs by four outputs)

•CrossPoint 88 (eight inputs by eight outputs)

•CrossPoint 124 (twelve inputs by four outputs)

•CrossPoint 128 (twelve inputs by eight outputs)

•CrossPoint 168 (sixteen inputs by eight outputs)

•CrossPoint 1616 (sixteen inputs by sixteen outputs)

Each series offers two models: HV for switching RGBHV signals, and HVA models for switching RGBHV and two-channel stereo audio (balanced and unbalanced). All models also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, and composite video (figure 1-1). The audio switching can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences between audio inputs.

The CrossPoint Series are single box solutions to simple 200 MHz (-3dB) routing applications. 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 CrossPoint 84, 88, 124, and 128 Matrix Switchers are housed in rack- mountable, 3U high, 19” wide metal enclosures. The CrossPoint 168 and 1616 are in a 6U high enclosure. The appropriate rack mounting kit is included with each switcher. Each model has an internal 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 watts (CrossPoint 84, 88, 124, and 128) or 36 watts (CrossPoint 168 and 1616), auto- switchable power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
