1-3MPX 423 A • Introduction
PRELIMINARY
Separate switcher mode — Allows for independent switching to the output of any
given I/O group. This effectively divides the MPX 423 A into three separate
switchers in one box.
Current configuration memory — Allows for ties and audio settings to be saved
in nonvolatile memory. When the switcher is powered off and then on again, the
switcher recalls the connections made on the last configuration, including audio
settings.
IP Link™ — IP Link-enabled products offer an integrated Web server with
high performance architecture, global compatibility with industry standard
Ethernet communication protocols, multi-user support, and a Web-based asset
management application specifically designed to work with products that
include IP Link technology.
RS-232 remote control — Allows remote control of the MPX switcher using
Extron’s Simple Instruction Set SIS™), or a third-party control system.
Downloadable firmware updates — The latest firmware can be conveniently
downloaded from the Extron Web site, and updates for new features and
capabilities can be easily upgraded through the IP Link Ethernet port.
Bandwidth — Bandwidth is 350 MHz (-3 dB), typical for VGA video, allowing this
switcher to switch everything from NTSC video to high-resolution computer
signals.
Front panel security lockout — Locks out all front panel functions except for
input/output tie viewing to prevent unwanted setting changes.
Genlock sync (for composite and S-video) — Includes video genlock capabilities
allowing for vertical interval switching and smooth, glitch-free transitions.
Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™) — Includes Extron’s exclusive DSVP,
which allows for the monitoring of input signal status information, as well as the
scan rate for computer signal inputs.
Input audio gain and attenuation (adjustable via RS-232) — Allows users to set
the level of audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB). Individual input audio
levels may be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences when
switching between sources. (The default setting is 0 dB.)
Speed-sensitive volume control — Automatic sensitivity control allows the user to
easily fine-tune the audio volume.
Versatile mounting options — The MPX 423 A is housed in a rugged, 1U, full rack
width metal enclosure, and can be easily mounted into any rack or podium, or
under a desk.
Internal international power supply — The internal power supply provides
worldwide power compatibility.
