Extron Electronics DXP HDMI - Manual (Page 9)

DXP DVI, DXP DVI Pro, and DXP HDMI Series • Introduction 3
• EDID reference — Extended display identification data (EDID) files let you direct
computer sources to stored EDID files that define resolution and refresh rates, or to
the EDID of a connected monitor to specify what resolution to output. User assigned
EDID files are also available, allowing the EDID of Output 1 to be manually assigned to
any input.
• 1.65 Gbps digital data rate — The DXP can switch all digital data (DVI and HDMI
standard) and supports carriage of embedded audio, ancillary data, and the ID
information of the data stream.
• DDC transmission support — DDC channels are actively buffered, allowing pass-
through of EDID and HDCP information between source and display.
• Audio breakaway — (DVI Pro and HDMI models only) An embedded audio signal
can be separated from its corresponding video signal within the switcher, allowing the
audio and video signals from one source to be switched to different destinations.
• 32 global presets — Frequently used I/O configurations can be saved and recalled
as global presets either from the front panel, IP Link, or serial control. This allows I/O
configurations to be set up and stored in memory for future use.
• I/O mode viewing — Users can easily view which inputs and outputs are actively
connected.
• QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC) — The DXP front panels provide a
discrete button for each input and output.
• Tri-color back-lit buttons — The front panel buttons light red, green, or amber,
depending on function, for ease of use in low-light environments, and can be custom
labeled for easy identification.
• IP Link Ethernet control — The DXP matrix switchers can be monitored and
managed over a computer network, using standard TCP/IP protocols. IP Link
provides for remote selection of I/O ties, EDID configuration, and monitoring system
status.
• RS-232 and RS-422 control — Using serial commands issued from the rear panel
Remote RS232/RS422 port or the front panel 2.5 mm TRS Config port, you can
control and configure the DXP switchers via the included Matrix Switchers Control
Program, or integrate the switchers into a control system. Firmware updates can also
be installed via this port.
• Simple Instruction Set (SIS ™ ) commands — The Extron SIS consists of a set of
basic ASCII code commands that easy programming through a control system via an
RS-232 or RS-422 connection.
• Control software — For RS-232, RS-422, and Ethernet remote control via a
computer, the Matrix Switchers Control Program is provided with the DXP switcher.
This icon-driven software uses a graphical, drag-and-drop interface to provide
easy I/O configuration and other customization. The control software also offers an
emulation mode for configuration of an offsite switcher; the configuration can then be
saved for future downloading to the switcher.
• Optional remote control — Available as an option is the MKP 2000 or MKP 3000
X-Y Remote Control Panel, which can be connected via Ethernet or to the Remote
RS232/RS422 port, providing the flexibility to control a DXP matrix switcher from a
remote location.
• Front panel security lockout — Front panel lockout (executive mode) prevents
unauthorized use in non-secure environments. In lockout mode, a special button
combination is required to unlock operation of the switcher from the front panel.
• Rack-mountable 2U, full rack width metal enclosure
