Mounting the Switcher

Installation

Mounting the Switcher

The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, 2U high metal enclosures with mounting ﬂanges for standard 19” racks. If desired, rack mount the switcher as follows:

1.	Insert the switcher into the rack, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket
	with those in the rack.
2.	Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied bolts.

Cabling and Rear Panel Views

All connectors are on the rear panel. Figure 2-1 shows the MVX Plus 128 A.

CUse Electrostatic discharge precautions (be electrically grounded) when making connections. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment, even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.

CRemove system power before making all connections.

Video connections

NThe switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.

NThe MVX Plus 128 switchers can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, or composite video by using the appropriate adapters.

aRGB video inputs — Connect the analog computer-video sources to these 15-pin HD female connectors.

NMost laptop or notebook computers have an external video port, but they require special commands to output the video to that connector. Also, a laptop’s screen shuts off once that port is activated. See the computer’s user’s guide for details, or contact Extron for a list of common laptop keyboard commands.

bRGB video outputs — Connect RGBHV video displays to these 15-pin HD female connectors for each output.
