Extron electronic MMX VGA Series manual Description, Features

DESCRIPTION Features (Cont.)

The Extron MMX VGA Series of three input, two output matrix switchers is designed for a variety of small system computer-video and stereo audio signal routing applications, such as classrooms and training facilities, and conference rooms. Both matrix switchers include one RGBHV video output on a 15-pin HD connector and a second output in two variations. The MMX 32 VGA A features its second RGBHV output on five BNC connectors; the

MMX 32 VGA MTP is equipped with a built-in Extron MTP Series twisted pair transmitter for outputting RGBHV and summed mono (L+R) audio signals. The transmitter is capable of driving UXGA (1600x1200) resolution computer-video signals 300 feet (90 m) or more over a single UTP cable.

Both models are compatible with high resolution computer-video signals, as well as HDTV signals with bi-level or tri-level sync, component video, S-video, composite video, and stereo audio signals. MMX Series matrix switchers can be controlled via the front panel, through RS-232, or by contact closure with the optional MMX 32 AAP and MMX 32 MAAP control modules.

Features

n300 MHz (-3 dB) RGB bandwidth – Ensures switching and distribution of most signals without degradation. The ratings are worst-case specifications, i.e., the MMX Series provides 300 MHz (-3 dB) at full performance capacity – when one input signal drives all outputs.

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

nBuilt-in UTP transmitter (MMX 32 VGA MTP only) – Capable of driving UXGA (1600x1200) resolution computer-video and audio signals 300 feet (90 m) or more to a compatible MTP Series receiver.

nSelectable pre-peaking (MMX 32 VGA MTP only) – Provides additional compensation at the front end for the longest cable runs.

nAudio breakaway via RS-232– Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio signals to be operated as a separate matrix switcher.

nRS-232 control port – Using RS-232 serial commands, the unit can be controlled and configured via the included Windows®-based

control software, or integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use the Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming. The RS-232 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.

nContact closure remote control with tally output status – Allows for remote selection of an input channel, while a tally output status provides feedback to indicate which input is currently selected.

nOptional MMX 32 AAP and MMX 32 MAAP remote control modules – Optional control modules provide remote input selection per output. The MMX 32 AAP is a single space Architectural Adapter Plate (AAP), while the MMX 32 MAAP is a single space Mini Architectural Adapter Plate (MAAP). Both include three input selection buttons with corresponding LED indicators.

nFront panel security lockout – Prevents unauthorized use in non- secure environments.

nDownloadable firmware updates – Updates can be easily upgraded via RS-232.

nRack-mountable– 1U, half rack width metal enclosure can be rack-mounted using an optional rack shelf.

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