Extron Electronics DMS 1600_2000_3200_3600 User Guide - Manual (Page 9)

DMS 1600, DMS 2000, DMS 3200, and DMS 3600 • Introduction 3
The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex digital video signal routing
applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered, and any input can be
switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
The matrix switchers can be remotely controlled via their rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422
ports, their rear panel LAN port, and their front panel Configuration (USB) port using either
the Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or the Simple Instruction Set (SIS). The icon-
driven Extron software uses a graphical, drag-and-drop interface to make I/O configuration
and other customization functions simple and convenient. The SIS is a set of basic ASCII
code commands that provide simple control through a control system or PC.
The switcher can be operated remotely by any of the following when connected to either a
serial port or the LAN port:
• Control system
• PC
• Extron MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel
• (RS-232/RS-422 only) Extron MCP 1000 remote control panel
• (RS-232/RS-422 only) Extron MKP 1000 remote keypad
The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures, of the following sizes,
with mounting flanges for standard 19-inch racks:
• DMS 1600 — 4U high
• DMS 2000 — 3U high
• DMS 3200 — 5U high
• DMS 3600 — 8U high
Features
DVI video inputs and outputs — With DVI I/O boards, the switchers input and output
DVI-D digital video signals on DVI-I connectors.
Fiber optic inputs and outputs — With fiber optic I/O boards, the switchers input and
output fiber optic signals generated and decoded by Extron DFX transmitters and receivers
on LC connnectors.
Automatic input board cable equalization — Typically equalizes greater than 100 feet
(30 m) at 1.65 Gb/s of Extron DVID SL or equivalent high quality cable.
Automatic output board re-clocking — Restores the signal timing and shape allowing for
increased transmission distances.
EDID Minder — Lets you direct the monitor reference of the computer video source and
what resolution to output.
Switching flexibility — The switcher provides individually buffered, independent matrix
switched outputs.
• 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.
Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP) — In critical environments or unmanned,
remote locations, it may be vital to know that sources are active and switching. The Extron
DSVP feature confirms that input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for active
signals. DSVP provides instantaneous feedback via any of the remote control ports on the
switcher.
