CrossPoint Plus Matrix Switchers • Introduction1-6
Switching flexibility — Individually buffered, independent matrix switched video
outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway for HVA versions.
•Any input to any or all outputs
•Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs
simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to
source at the same time.
•Audio follow — Audio can be switched with the corresponding video input.
This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any video signal
simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio follow
switching can be done via front panel control or under RS-232/RS-422 remote
control.
•Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding
video signal. Audio breakaway switching can be done via front panel control
or under RS-232/RS-422 control.
Remote control — The CrossPoint Plus switchers are remote controllable, using the
MKP 1000 master control keypad and any combination of MCP 1000 slave
control panels and/or MKP 1000 slave control keypads. The remote control
devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each
MCP 1000 can be used for one-touch switching for a particular output and
selecting global presets. Each MKP 1000 dedicated to an output can be used
to select a different input for that output or to select a preset.
Labeling — Extron’s label software ships with every Extron matrix switcher. You
can create labels to place alongside the front panel input buttons and output
buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and
intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with
any Brother® P-Touch™ or comparable labeler.
Executive mode (front panel security lockout) — If a CrossPoint Plus Series
Switcher is installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized
personnel may be a problem, a security lock-out feature can be implemented.
When the front panel is locked, a special button combination is required to
unlock the front panel controller before it can be operated.
Rack mounting — The switchers are mountable in any conventional 19” wide rack.
Power — The 100VAC to 240VAC, auto-switchable, internal power supply of the
CrossPoint Plus Series provides worldwide power compatibility.
