Extron electronic MVX PLUS 128 manual Tie any input to any or all outputs

Rooming — Each switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to specific “rooms”, allowing them to have their own presets.

Switching flexibility — Provides individually buffered, independent matrix switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway for audio models.

•Tie any input to any or all outputs

•Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the same time.

•Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input via front panel control or under Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 remote control.

•Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding video signal. This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any video signal simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 remote control.

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel or via the Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 link. The RS-232/RS-422 links allow remote control via a PC or control system. The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with two levels of password protection.

•Front Panel Controller — The front panel controller supports input and output selection, I/O grouping, preset creation and selection, RGB delay, and audio gain and attenuation and volume control (audio models). The front panel features illuminated pushbuttons that can be labeled with text or graphics.

•Windows-based control program — For RS-232/RS-422 remote control from a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides a graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The Windows-based control program also has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher configuration file at the home office and then download it for use by the switcher on site.

•Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s SIS for easy programming and operation.

•Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote controllable, using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 remote control keypads. The remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection.

Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can be upgraded in the field via RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet, without taking the switcher out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, and they can be installed using the Windows-based control program.

Labeling — Extron’s included label software lets you create labels to place in the front panel I/O buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with any Brother™ P-Touch™or comparable labeler.
