MPX 423 A • Introduction

PRELIMINAR

Y

Separate switcher mode

— Allows for independent switching to the output of any

given I/O group. This effectively divides the MPX 423 A into three separate

switchers in one box.

Current configuration memory

— Allows for ties and audio settings to be saved

in nonvolatile memory. When the switcher is powered off and then on again, the

switcher recalls the connections made on the last configuration, including audio

settings.

IP Link

— IP Link-enabled products offer an integrated Web server with

high performance architecture, global compatibility with industry standard

Ethernet communication protocols, multi-user support, and a Web-based asset

management application specifically designed to work with products that

include IP Link technology.

RS-232 remote control

— Allows remote control of the MPX switcher using

Extron’s Simple Instruction Set SIS

), or a third-party control system.

Downloadable firmware updates

— The latest firmware can be conveniently

downloaded from the Extron Web site, and updates for new features and

capabilities can be easily upgraded through the IP Link Ethernet port.

Bandwidth

— Bandwidth is 350 MHz (-3 dB), typical for VGA video, allowing this

switcher to switch everything from NTSC video to high-resolution computer

signals.

Front panel security lockout

— Locks out all front panel functions except for

input/output tie viewing to prevent unwanted setting changes.

Genlock sync (for composite and S-video)

— Includes video genlock capabilities

allowing for vertical interval switching and smooth, glitch-free transitions.

Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP

)

— Includes Extron’s exclusive DSVP,

which allows for the monitoring of input signal status information, as well as the

scan rate for computer signal inputs.

Input audio gain and attenuation (adjustable via RS-232)

— Allows users to set

the level of audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB). Individual input audio

levels may be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences when

switching between sources. (The default setting is 0 dB.)

Speed-sensitive volume control

— Automatic sensitivity control allows the user to

easily fine-tune the audio volume.

Versatile mounting options

— The MPX 423 A is housed in a rugged, 1U, full rack

width metal enclosure, and can be easily mounted into any rack or podium, or

under a desk.

Internal international power supply

— The internal power supply provides

worldwide power compatibility.
