Extron electronic manual Preliminary, MVX VGA A Matrix Switchers Introduction

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

Labeling — The Extron button label software ships with every Extron matrix switcher. You can create labels to place above the front panel input buttons and below the output 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.

Global memory presets — 32 global memory presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store input/output configurations in advance. You can then recall those configurations, when needed, with a few simple steps on the front panel. For the MVX 128 A, which has fewer input and output buttons, 20 global memory presets are available from the front panel; the remaining presets are available via serial port control.

Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19" wide rack.

Three front panel security lockout modes (Executive modes) — If a matrix switcher is installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, either of two security lockout modes can be implemented (the third mode is unlocked). When a front panel locked mode is enabled, a special button combination or SIS command is required to unlock the front panel controller and make the front panel fully operational.

Power — The matrix switcher’s 100 VAC to 240 VAC, autoswitchable, internal power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
