FPC 5000

The FPC 5000 Front Panel Controller is an intuitive, 12.1 inch touch-screen, control interface designed exclusively for the Matrix 12800. The easy-to-use FPC 5000 can control, monitor, access, and manage all of the Matrix 12800 matrix switcher set-up and control functions via an intuitive, menu-driven interface. Any user, regardless of their technical proficiency, can easily navigate through its simple and straightforward menus to change, monitor, or control the features of the Matrix 12800. With IP Link Ethernet capabilities, it can access the matrix from anywhere on a network, from multiple sites, as well as via the Internet. Housed within a 7U panel, the FPC 5000 can be installed in a rack, podium, or control console.

IP Link® Ethernet Control

The Matrix 12800 Series is equipped with Extron's IP Link, an IP integration technology specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments — from K-12 classrooms to large universities, businesses, and residential media systems.

IP Link is built around an integrated, high performance Web server that features global compatibility with industry standard Ethernet communication protocols, multi-user support, and GlobalViewersoftware. GlobalViewer, a Web-based application, enables a variety of asset management functions including proactive maintenance and remote technical support from any administrator authorized LAN, WAN, or Internet client.

On the Matrix 12800 Series, IP Link provides technical support personnel with the ability to receive service and failure messages through an e-mail-enabled cell phone, PDA, pager, or e-mail account. Utilizing IP Link, the help desk can also view embedded Web pages to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot the switcher for the following:

Asset Management

Remotely select input and output ties for audio only, video only, or audio and video

Name and select global I/O presets

Set audio input and output volume levels

Set RGB delay time for glitch-free transitions

Upload firmware updates via the Internet

Operating Status and Diagnostics

Monitor primary and redundant power supply voltages

Monitor operating temperature

Recall firmware revision and other data for improved Help Desk support

Provides immediate notification via e-mail for loss of input signal, power supply failure, and other critical service information

Upload firmware updates

DSVP

Verify active sources by polling inputs for horizontal and vertical sync rate information

SIS- Simple Instruction Set Control

SIS simplifies RS-232 by utilizing a limited set of commands that are easy to remember and use. Three factors that make SIS superior for RS-232 remote control are that characters can be generated directly from the keyboard, the same instruction works with many Extron products, and it provides informative responses to each command sent.
