Switching flexibility — Provides individually buffered, independent matrix switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway for systems with audio BMEs.

•Tie 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 its corresponding video input via front panel control or under Ethernet or serial port remote control.

•Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding video signal. This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any video signal simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under Ethernet or serial port remote control.

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel or via the Ethernet port or either serial port. The Ethernet and serial ports allow remote control via a PC or control system. The LAN port allows multiple remote links with two levels of password protection.

•QuickSwitch-Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC) — The optional front panel controller supports input and output selection, I/O grouping, preset creation and selection, RGB delay, audio gain and attenuation, and volume control (systems with audio BMEs). The front panel features illuminated pushbuttons that can be labeled with text or graphics.

NThe front panel controller is standard, not optional, on MAV Plus video BMEs. In systems with multiple BMEs, all are operational, but there may be a delay in reporting configuration. To prevent confusion, Extron recommend locking the front panels of all BMEs with the exception of BME 0.

A front panel controller cannot be installed on a sync or audio BME. See "Setting the front panel locks (Executive modes)" on page 3-43.

•Windows-based control program — For serial or Ethernet port remote control from a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides a 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 the Extron SIS for easy programming and operation.

•Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote controllable, using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 remote control panels. The remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each MKP can be used for input-to-output switching or one-touch switching for a particular output. The MKP 3000 also can be used for selection of global presets.

Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can be upgraded in the field via either serial port or the Ethernet port, without the switcher being taken out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, and they can be installed using the Windows-based control program or the built-in HTML pages.
