DESCRIPTION

The Extron MMX Series of Video and VGA Matrix Switchers are economical, compact units that are effective in small installations, such as conference rooms, classrooms, and home theatres. All models can function as either the primary switcher or as sub-switchers in a larger system. The intuitive front panels with tactile buttons and LED indicators of the MMX Series enable easy control of inputs and outputs for non-technical users. MMX matrix switchers are housed in 1U high, half rack width VersaToolsenclosures.

Composite Video and S-Video with Stereo Audio Switchers The MMX Series of composite video and S-video with stereo audio switchers come in 4x2 and 6x2 models. Key features include genlock to input one, which allows all signals to switch at the same vertical interval timing for smooth, seamless transition; front panel security lockout for environments where easy access is undesirable; quad standard compatibility with NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM signals; and RS-232 for control via a third party control system.

VGA-UXGA and Audio Matrix Switcher

The MMX 32 VGA A 3x2 VGA matrix switcher with audio allows users to easily switch between three computer-video (VGA-UXGA) and stereo audio signals using two sets of direct access buttons. Users can connect a VGA and audio cable directly from the source to the switcher. Output one is optimized for local or preview monitor, while output two is optimized for connection to the main presentation display and house sound system. The unit can be controlled through RS-232 via a third party control system and by contact closure with tally power, which allows the user to control both outputs from remote locations.

FEATURES

150 MHz (-3dB) bandwidth, fully loaded – Ensures switching and distribution of most signals without degradation. The ratings are worst case specifications, i.e., the MMX Series provide

150 MHz (-3dB) at full performance capacity — when one input signal drives all outputs.

300 MHz (-3dB) bandwidth, fully loaded (MMX 32 VGA A only) – Ensures switching and distribution of most signals without degradation. The ratings are worst case specifications, i.e., the MMX 32 VGA A provides 300 MHz (-3dB) at full performance capacity — when one input signal drives all outputs.

Buffered I/O – Each input and output is individually buffered to provide maximum performance with virtually no crosstalk.

View I/O mode (MMX 42 & MMX 62 only) – Allows users to easily see which individual inputs and outputs are actively connected. Available from the front panel or RS-232 control.

FEATURES (CONT.)

Captive screw or RCA audio connections – The MMX Series AV and SVA matrix switcher models provide captive screw input and output connectors for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals. The RCA models feature RCA female connectors and are compatible with unbalanced audio signals only.

Input audio gain and attenuation (adjustable via RS-232)The Extron MMX 42/62 Series allows users to set the level of audio gain or attenuation (-18dB to +24dB). Individual input audio levels may be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences when switching between sources.

Audio breakaway – The MMX Series matrix switchers provide the capability to break away an audio signal from its corresponding video signal. Audio breakaway switching can be done via the front panel or RS-232 control.

RS-232 control – A rear panel RS-232 control port provides connection of the MMX Series to a third party control system.

Simple Instruction Set (SIS) – Extron SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a third party control system. Instead of programming in long, obscure strings of code, SIS makes it easy to operate an Extron product using RS-232 control.

Rack-mountableThe MMX Series Switchers are housed in 1U, half rack width rugged metal enclosures and can be rack- mounted using an optional rack shelf.

External international power supply – Provides worldwide power compatibility (part # 70-055-01).

MMX 32 AAP and MMX 32 MAAP remote control – The MMX 32 MAAP contains input selection buttons and LED indicators to control an MMX 32 VGA A matrix switcher. The MMX 32 MAAP is a single space Mini Architectural Adapter Plate (MAAP) that can be installed in any Extron MAAP mounting panel. The MMX 32 MAAP enables a user to remotely select an input to route to one of the matrix switcher outputs.
