CrossPoint Plus Matrix Switchers • Introduction1-4

CrossPoint Plus Series delivers the highest performance and the most cost-
effective solution.
Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™) — In critical environments or
unmanned, remote locations, it is vital to know that sources are active and
switching. Extron’s exclusive DSVP confirms that input sources are active by
scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP provides instantaneous
frequency feedback for composite sync or separate horizontal and vertical
sync signals via the switcher’s RS-232/422 port. The frequency information
can be displayed on any control system or in a Windows®-based control
program on a local-area network (LAN) or internet (IP) connection
(figure 1-2).

Channel to channel isolation — The CrossPoint Plus Series provides excellent
isolation between channels and extremely low electromagnetic emissions—
perfect for minimizing signal leakage in high security or government
environments.
I/O grouping — Allows the matrix to be virtually divided into smaller sub-
switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows
specific outputs, such as those designated for a specific video format, to be
grouped together.
Triple-Action Switching™ (RGB delay) — RGB delay blanks the screen when the
matrix switcher switches to a new source. The new sync signals precede the
RGB signals, so there is no noise-filled scramble shown during the transition.
The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is user adjustable up to
five seconds under RS-232/422 control.
View mode — View mode allows the user to easily see which individual inputs
and outputs are actively connected under front panel or RS-232/422 control.
