Introduction, cont’d

Labeling — The included Extron Button Label Generator software lets you create labels to place in the front panel I/O buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with any BrotherP-Touchor comparable labeler.

Global memory presets — 64 global memory presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store input/output configurations in advance. You can then recall those configurations, when needed, with a few simple steps.

Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide rack

Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) — If a matrix switcher BME with a QS-FPC is installed in an open area where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, a security lockout feature can be implemented. When the front panel is locked, a special button combination or SIS command is required to unlock the front panel controller before it can be operated.

I/O grouping — Allows the matrix to be virtually divided into smaller sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows specific inputs and outputs, such as those designated for a specific purpose, to be grouped together. I/O grouping limits the selection of inputs and outputs to members of the same group.

Primary and redundant power supplies — Includes two internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supplies that provide worldwide power compatibility.

The power supply circuitry is configured to automatically switch over from the primary supply to the hot redundant supply in the case of a failure.

The hot redundant power supply means high reliability for the system and no loss of functionality should the primary supply fail; the redundant power supply immediately assumes the load.

Power supply status LEDs — Front panel LEDs indicate the status of the primary and redundant power supplies.
