Extron electronic MLS 406 Series manual DESCRIPTIONFeatures, Line Level Outputs

DESCRIPTIONFeatures

The Extron MLS 406, MLS 406MA, and MLS 406SA MediaLink™ Switchers are simple-to-use, six input, multi-format active switchers. Designed as economical solutions for single-display classrooms and boardrooms, all three models provide composite video, S-video,computer-video, and audio switching.

MLS - MediaLink Switchers are designed to be used in conjunction with an MLC - MediaLink Controller to facilitate low-cost integration. They can also be used as stand-alone switchers.

Line Level Outputs

Each switcher includes two line level outputs, one fixed and one variable, that can be configured for mono or stereo output via RS-232.

Integrated Audio Amplifier

The MLS 406MA provides a 20 watt (rms) amplified mono audio output for a 4 or 8 ohm load or 70/100 volt distributed audio system.

The MLS 406SA provides 24 watts (2 x 12 watts, rms) into 4 ohm speakers and 16 watts (2 x 8 watts, rms) into 8 ohm speakers. Like the line level outputs, the integrated audio amplifier can be configured for default stereo or dual mono output via RS-232.

MLS 406MA

MediaLink Switcher with integrated mono amplifier

The MLS 406 switchers can be used as stand-alone switchers, or combined with an Extron MLC - MediaLink Controller to create an affordable system integration solution.

MediaLink Controller

nHigh bandwidth – 280 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth maintains signal integrity.

nVideo inputs – Three female BNC connectors paired with three

4-pin mini DIN connectors for composite video or S-video; three female 15-pin HD connectors for computer-video, composite video, or S-video.

nVersatile video outputs – Two RGB outputs are provided. One is available on five BNC connectors and the other on a female 15-pin HD connector. The 15-pin HD can also be utilized as a buffered local monitor loop-through for the signal connected to input six.

nLocal monitor output – 15-pin HD connector can function as an additional RGB output or as a local monitor output to enable preview monitor capability without the need for a distribution amplifier.

nAudio inputs – Six balanced/unbalanced stereo audio inputs on three pairs of female RCA connectors, two female 3.5 mm stereo mini jacks, and one captive screw connector.

nAuxiliary/Mix audio input – An additional input accepts mono line level audio signals for mixing with any of the six switchable inputs.

nBalanced audio output – Balanced or unbalanced audio is output on captive screw connectors. The two line level outputs, one fixed and one variable, can be set for mono or stereo via RS-232.

nIntegrated audio amplifier – The MLS 406MA provides 20 watt (rms) amplified mono audio output on captive screw terminals for a 4 or 8 ohm load or 70/100 volt distributed audio system. The MLS 406SA provides 24 watts (2 x 12 watts rms) for 4 ohm speakers and 16 watts (2 x 8 watts rms) for 8 ohm speakers.

nVolume control – Is adjustable locally from the front panel or remotely when integrated with a MediaLink Controller or a third party RS-232 based control system.

nLoudness control – Boosts low and high frequencies to compensate for the normal decreased hearing ability of the human ear at low volume levels.

nTriple-Action Switching™ – Blanks the screen during switching of RGB signals to eliminate visible switching transitions.

nFront panel security lockout – Allows security lockout of front panel buttons and/or volume adjustment.

nControl options – The MLS Series switchers are designed to work with a MediaLink Controller. They can also be controlled via the front panel or any third party RS-232 control system.

nRack-mountable– Housed in 1U, full rack width metal enclosures.

nInternal international power supply
