MAV 168/1616 video models

Inputs — These switchers offer 16 RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, or NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM composite video inputs on BNC connectors (video models).

Stereo audio can be balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals (audio models).

Outputs — 8 or 16 RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, or NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM composite video outputs are available on BNC connectors (video models).

Stereo audio can be balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals (audio models).

Bandwidth — Bandwidth is a maximum of 150 MHz (-3dB), fully loaded. This high bandwidth allows the MAV switchers to switch everything from NTSC video to HDTV.

MAV 168/1616 audio models

Inputs — 16 stereo audio inputs, balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.

Outputs — 8 or 16 stereo audio outputs, balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.

Audio gain/attenuation — Users can set the input level of audio gain or attenuation (-15dB to +9dB) via the RS-232/RS-422 link or from the front panel. Individual input audio levels can be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources (figure 1-5).

Audio follow — Audio can be switched with the corresponding video input, allowing 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.

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.

All models

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel or over the RS-232/RS-422 link. The RS-232/RS-422 link allows remote control via a PC or control system.

•QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC™) — The MAV series QS-FPC feature supports touch-of-a-button input and output selection, preset creation and selection, and audio gain and attenuation control.

•Windows-based control program — Extron’s Windows-based control program provides a versatile range of operational options with its graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The Windows-based control program also has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher configuration file at the home office and then download it for use by the switcher on site.

•Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s SIS for easy programming and operation.
