Extron electronic MVX 128 VGA A Description, Features Cont, Unique features for 4x4 to 8x8 models

DESCRIPTION Features (Cont.)

The Extron MVX Series Matrix Switchers are designed to route VGA- UXGA computer-video signals with stereo audio. Available in I/O sizes from 4x4 to 16x16, including a new 12x12 size, the MVX Series offers wideband switching performance with the convenience of 15-pin HD connectors for all computer-video connections. MVX Series models from 4x4 to 8x8 accept unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5 mm stereo mini jacks, while the 12x8 to 16x16 sizes accept either balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw connectors. All models output balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw connectors. Using pre-terminated cable assemblies, such as Extron’s VGA with Audio Cables, eliminates crimping and makes installations faster and easier.

All MVX Series models are equipped with a full range of control capabilities, including a standard QS-FPC™- QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller, which provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation. In addition, all models are equipped with RS-232 serial control utilizing Extron’s

SIS™ – Simple Instruction Set command protocol. They can be remotely controlled with the optional Extron MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 X-Y remote control panels, or via a third party control system. An optional handheld IR remote control is also available for 4x4 and 8x8 models.

Features

n300 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth, fully loaded – Designed for routing most common high resolution computer-video rates without signal degradation. The MVX Series provides a minimum 300 MHz (-3 dB) of RGB video bandwidth at full performance capability when one input drives all outputs.

nCompatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and HDTV component video

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

nView I/O mode – Allows users to easily view which individual inputs and outputs are actively connected.

nQS-FPC - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller – Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.

nGlobal presets – Individual I/O configurations may be saved and recalled either from the QuickSwitch front panel or through the serial controls. This time-saving feature allows you to set up I/O configurations and keep them in memory for future use.

nFront panel security lockout – Ideal for unsecured environments, this feature locks out all front panel functions; however, these same functions are available through RS-232 serial control.

nRS-232 control port – Using serial commands, the MVX Series can be controlled and configured via the included Windows®-based control software, or integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use the SIS - Simple Instruction Set 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.

nRack mountable – All models are housed in metal, rack-mountable enclosures.

nOptional remote control panels and keypads – Provide the flexibility to control a MVX Series matrix switcher from a remote location.

nInternal international power supply – The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, autoswitchable, internal power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.

Unique features for 4x4 to 8x8 models

nSwitchable audio output levels – Output levels can be switched between +4 dBu professional and -10 dBv consumer levels, allowing a mix of professional- and consumer-level audio equipment.

nUnbalanced stereo audio – Accepts unbalanced PC audio on convenient 3.5 mm mini stereo jacks. Audio output is buffered and can be output as a balanced or unbalanced signal.

nTriple Action Switching™ RGB Delay – Blanks the screen when switching to a new source. The new sync signals precede the RGB signals, so there is no glitch shown during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is adjustable up to

five seconds.

nIncludes removable rack ears

nOptional IR 501 handheld IR remote control – Provides remote control from up to 30 feet (9 meters) away.

Unique features for 12x8 to 16x16 models

nADSP™ - Advanced Digital Sync Processing – An exclusive, all-digital process that regenerates the sync signal waveform and restores incoming sync level to 5.0 V p-p specifications. This ensures a stable image for improved signal compatibility with any LCD, DLP, plasma, or other digital display device.

nFront panel I/O label windows – I/O buttons may be labeled with names, alphanumeric characters, or bitmap icons for easy and intuitive input and output selection.

nBalanced and unbalanced stereo audio – Accepts both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio signals on captive screw connectors.

nAudio output volume control – Can be set dynamically for each channel through the front panel or serial control, eliminating the need for audio preamplifiers in many system designs.
