DESCRIPTION
Extron’s Digital XPoint Series of digital video matrix switchers is the ideal solution for switching multiple serial digital video signals to multiple digital video devices in video production studios,
There are two models available in the Digital XPoint line: a four input by four output model (DXP 44 SDI) and a eight input by eight output model (DXP 88 SDI). Each input has an equalized and buffered loop- through, and each output has dual buffered and
The Digital XPoint series conforms to the SMPTE 259M specification. These digital matrix switchers handle all composite (143 and 177 Mbps), component 4:2:2 (270 Mbps), and widescreen 16:9
(360 Mbps) serial standards. Automatic cable equalization typically equalizes greater than 300 meters at 270 Mbps of Extron SHR or equivalent high quality cable.
The Digital XPoint matrix switcher series is housed in a rack mountable, 1U high, 19" wide enclosure. These switchers come standard with a front panel control and are capable of communicating with Extron’s remote keypad (MKP 1000) and/or remote control panel (MCP 1000). Control of the Digital XPoint series from a third party control system can be done via
FEATURES
■Inputs with equalized and buffered loop-throughs
■Outputs each with two buffered and
■Serial digital data rates from 143 Mbps to 360 Mbps –
■Capable of switching 4fsc (composite) or 4:2:2 (component) serial digital video transmission standards.
■SMPTE 259M compliant
■Automatic input cable equalization – Typically equalizes greater than 300m at 270 Mbps of Extron SHR or equivalent high quality cable.
■Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™) – When input serial data is locked, the matrix indicates the presence of a carrier source.
■Automatic rate selection – Automatically accepts four SMPTE data rates, including 143, 177, 270, and 360 Mbps. The auto mode is ideal for multirate serial data protocols where the matrix automatically detects and locks onto the incoming data signal.
■Output data muting when input source is lost – An internal muting function forces the serial data outputs to a static state when input data is not present or not locked.
FEATURES
■16 global presets –
■
■Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) – A set of basic ASCII code commands for serial control. Instead of programming in long, obscure strings of code, SIS makes it easy to program and operate the DXP Series using serial control.
■Control Software – Provides a graphical,
■MCP 1000 and MKP 1000 control – Optional control panels and keypads provide the flexibility to control a DXP Series matrix switcher from a remote location.

■LCD display – Displays current input/output configuration, preset configurations, data rate, and input carrier detect, as well as the status of additional system features.
■Extron’s control software – Extron has developed a Windows®- based control software that provides the ability to control every Extron matrix switcher. This program makes input/output configuration and other customization functions simple and convenient because it uses graphic icons.
