Setup examples
The matrix switcher system can have up to 128 inputs and 128
outputs. However, for example, a conference room may have
three input devices and two output devices, a training room
next door may have four input devices and one output device,
and so on. Typically, each room has one or more MKP control
panels assigned to it, with each MKP limited to the inputs and
outputs that it can control.
In the example in figure 1-1, the “presentation room” (top,
center) has one output device, a projector (C), and four input
devices: a video camera (13), a laptop computer (12), and two
PCs (11 and 14). The “Media Room” (bottom, right) contains
the matrix switcher, as well as other inputs (1-6) and possibly
some control device(s).

Figure 1-1 — Typical MKP 3000 applications
An overflow crowd in the video conference room and/or the
training room may need to see a lecture going on in the
presentation room. In this case, the video camera (input 13)
must be available to those other rooms. Therefore, the MKPs in
the video conference and training rooms will be programmed to
allow selection of input 13 for displays in those rooms, in
addition to any video sources and/or displays there.
About this Manual
This manual provides installation and operation instructions for
the Extron MKP 3000, MKP 3000 L, and MKP 3000 MAAP
Remote Control Panels.
The MKP 3000 Series are network-ready remote control panels
that can control any Extron matrix switcher. The MKPs’ RS-232
ports allow them to communicate with other devices (another
MKP or a matrix switcher) locally and their Ethernet port allows
them to communicate with multiple devices.
The MKP 3000 L and the MKP 3000 MAAP are each functionally
the same device as the MKP 3000, but with the following
differences in their front panels:
• The MKP 3000 MAAP front panel includes a four-space
mini architectural adapter plate (MAAP) opening. Any
MAAP device can be installed in this space; but a typical
application would include an MKP 10 MAAP, which is an
auxiliary keypad for the MKP 3000.
• The MKP 3000 L model is designed to be installed in a
lectern. Its front panel is shorter and wider than that of
the MKP 3000, and has a built-in 12-button keypad similar
to the Extron MKP 10 MAAP. You can also install this
model in a rack, using the optional UCM RAAP controller
rack mounting kit.
In this manual, the term “MKP 3000” applies to all
three models unless the description specifically names a
particular model.
About the MKP 3000 Series Remote Control
Panels
You can create ties on the MKP 3000 in two modes: matrix mode
(the default) and input-only mode. In matrix mode, you specify
an input and one or more outputs to be tied to it. In input-only
mode, you select one output, then specify an input to be tied to
it. The MKP can also be dedicated to a specific group of inputs
and outputs when it is configured using the built-in Web pages.
You can also recall global presets, view current connections, or
adjust the volume for any output by using the front panel
controls, SIS
™ (Simple Instruction Set) commands, and/or the
embedded Web pages.
The MKP 3000 panel is mounted on a two-gang wall plate that
can be installed in a wall, conference table, podium, or other
convenient location. The MKP 3000 MAAP is mounted in a
three-gang wall plate, and the MKP 3000 L is mounted directly
onto a lectern or other furniture.
