About this Manual

This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron family of full-function, very large CrossPoint 450 Plus ultra-wideband and MAV Plus 3248 through 6464 video and audio matrix switchers.

About the Matrix Switchers

Matrix switchers distribute any input to any combination of outputs. The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.

The Extron very large CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus matrix switchers are a family of matrix switcher basic module enclosures (BMEs) that allow you to create a video and/or audio matrix switching system with up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs specifically tailored to meet your requirements. All BMEs are rack mountable. All video and sync BMEs are 6U in height; audio BMEs are 7U in height. This family of matrix switcher BMEs includes the following models:

•CrossPoint 450 Plus Wideband video switcher BME — A switcher that routes one video plane (red [R], green [G], and blue [B]) from any input to any one or more outputs. This BME has a video bandwidth of 450 MHz (–3 dB), fully loaded, to support video resolutions of 1600 x 1200 and above.

•CrossPoint 450 Plus Sync switcher BME — A switcher that routes one sync plane (horizontal [H], vertical [V], or composite sync [S]) from any input to any one or more outputs..

•MAV Plus Video switcher BME — A switcher that routes one plane of low resolution (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) component video (Y, R-Y, or B-Y), S-video (Y or C), and composite video from any input to any one or more outputs.

This BME has a video bandwidth of 150 MHz (–3 dB), fully loaded, to support all video resolutions.

•MAV Plus Stereo Audio switcher BME — A switcher that routes balanced or unbalanced stereo audio (two audio planes) from any input to any one or more outputs.

•MAV Plus Mono Audio switcher BME — A switcher that routes mono audio (one audio plane) from any input to any one or more outputs.

Each BME model is available in the following matrix sizes:

•3248 (32 inputs by 48 outputs)

•3264 (32 inputs by 64 outputs)

•4832 (48 inputs by 32 outputs)

•4848 (48 inputs by 48 outputs)

•4864 (48 inputs by 64 outputs)

•6432 (64 inputs by 32 outputs)

•6448 (64 inputs by 48 outputs)

•6464 (64 inputs by 64 outputs)
