This manual contains installation, conﬁguration, and operating information for the Extron MVX 128 A 12-input by 8-output wideband computer video (VGA) and audio matrix switcher.

About the MVX 128 A Matrix Switcher

The MVX matrix switcher distributes any of 12 inputs to any combination of

8 outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output conﬁgurations simultaneously.

The matrix switcher is a single box solution to complex wideband (ﬁgure 1-1) video and/or audio routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
