Extron electronic DXP DVI PRO manual Rack-mountable 2U, full rack width metal enclosure

•EDID reference — Extended display identification data (EDID) files let you direct computer sources to stored EDID files that define resolution and refresh rates, or to the EDID of a connected monitor to specify what resolution to output. User assigned EDID files are also available, allowing the EDID of Output 1 to be manually assigned to any input.

•1.65 Gbps digital data rate — The DXP can switch all digital data (DVI and HDMI standard) and supports carriage of embedded audio, ancillary data, and the ID information of the data stream.

•DDC transmission support — DDC channels are actively buffered, allowing pass- through of EDID and HDCP information between source and display.

•Audio breakaway — (DVI Pro and HDMI models only) An embedded audio signal can be separated from its corresponding video signal within the switcher, allowing the audio and video signals from one source to be switched to different destinations.

•32 global presets — Frequently used I/O configurations can be saved and recalled as global presets either from the front panel, IP Link, or serial control. This allows I/O configurations to be set up and stored in memory for future use.

•I/O mode viewing — Users can easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected.

•QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC) — The DXP front panels provide a discrete button for each input and output.

•Tri-colorback-lit buttons — The front panel buttons light red, green, or amber, depending on function, for ease of use in low-light environments, and can be custom labeled for easy identification.

•IP Link Ethernet control — The DXP matrix switchers can be monitored and managed over a computer network, using standard TCP/IP protocols. IP Link provides for remote selection of I/O ties, EDID configuration, and monitoring system status.

•RS-232 and RS-422 control — Using serial commands issued from the rear panel

Remote RS232/RS422 port or the front panel 2.5 mm TRS Config port, you can control and configure the DXP switchers via the included Matrix Switchers Control Program, or integrate the switchers into a control system. Firmware updates can also be installed via this port.

•Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands — The Extron SIS consists of a set of basic ASCII code commands that easy programming through a control system via an RS-232 or RS-422 connection.

•Control software — For RS-232, RS-422, and Ethernet remote control via a computer, the Matrix Switchers Control Program is provided with the DXP switcher. This icon-driven software uses a graphical, drag-and-drop interface to provide easy I/O configuration and other customization. The control software also offers an emulation mode for configuration of an offsite switcher; the configuration can then be saved for future downloading to the switcher.

•Optional remote control — Available as an option is the MKP 2000 or MKP 3000

X-Y Remote Control Panel, which can be connected via Ethernet or to the Remote

RS232/RS422 port, providing the flexibility to control a DXP matrix switcher from a remote location.

•Front panel security lockout — Front panel lockout (executive mode) prevents unauthorized use in non-secure environments. In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to unlock operation of the switcher from the front panel.
