300 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.

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

Switches both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio — Output on captive screw connectors.

Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio and video signals from one source to be switched to different destinations.

Audio output volume adjustment and muting on MVX 128, 1212, 168, and 1616 models — Can be set dynamically for each channel through the front panel, IP Link, or serial control, eliminating the need for an audio preamplifier in many system designs.

Optional IR 501 handheld infrared remote control for 4x4 through 8x8 models

Rack-mountable metal enclosure

Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.

DESCRIPTION

The Extron MVX Series Matrix Switchers are designed to route most common high resolution 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 preterminated cable assemblies, such as Extron's VGA with Audio Cables, eliminates crimping and makes installations faster and easier.

Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows users to set the level of gain or attenuation for each audio input channel, eliminating noticeable volume differences when switching between sources.

RS-232 and RS-422 serial control port — Using serial commands, the

HDXP Plus 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 and RS-422 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.

Switchable audio output levels — Output levels can be switched between professional, +4dBu, and consumer levels, -10dBV. This feature is available via RS-232 serial control only and allows users to utilize a mix of professional and consumer-level equipment.

View I/O mode — Available via the front panel and RS-232 serial control, users can easily view which individual inputs and outputs are actively connected.

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

Global 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.

Front 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.

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