Plasma display S-video problem (CrossPoint 450 Plus wideband BMEs only\⤀

Extron has encountered a problem that can occur when a CrossPoint 450 Plus wideband switcher BME routes S-video that is output by some video conference codecs. Some codecs change the DC offset on the chrominance (C) so that it is very different from the level on the luminance (Y). This can cause a plasma display to come up in the wrong size mode.

With the matrix switcher taken out of the system, the plasma works fine. It looks like a problem with the matrix switcher, but it is not. The matrix switcher boosts the bad codec output, which makes the plasma go to the wrong setting.

Solution: Try placing an Extron video DC block adapter, part #26-495-01, on the luminance (Y) input to the switcher from the codec.

Configuration Worksheets

Rather than trying to remember the configuration for each preset, use worksheets to record this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on page 3-55 and use one for each preset configuration. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and outputs. The worksheet accommodates all of the matrix sizes available with the CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus models documented in this manual. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and outputs. Use different colors for video and audio.
