1-3 MVX Plus 128 VGA A Matrix Switcher • Introduction
PRELIMINAR
Y
The MVX Plus 128 VGA A switcher inputs and outputs VGA video on 15-pin HD
connectors and audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.
The audio switching can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or be
independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable input audio gain and
attenuation compensates for level differences between audio inputs.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its LAN port, its rear panel
RS-232/RS-422 Remote port, and its front panel Configuration (RS-232) port using
either Extron’s Windows ® -based Matrix Switchers Control Program or the Simple
Instruction Set (SIS ™ ). The SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide
simple control through a control system or PC without programming long, obscure
strings of code. SIS commands can be entered via either the Ethernet link or the
RS-232/RS-422 link.
The LAN port can be connected through a local area network (LAN) or wide area
network (WAN).
The MVX Plus 128 VGA A features e-mail notification of maintenance or other
details concerning the status of the power supplies and the loss or resumption of
sync on individual inputs to concerned personnel.
The LAN port and both serial ports can be connected to and operated from:
• A control system
• A PC
• An Extron MKP 2000 remote control panel
• An Extron MKP 3000 remote control panel
• An Extron MCP 1000 remote control panel and/or MKP 1000 remote keypad
The matrix switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 2U high metal enclosure with
mounting flanges for a standard 19" rack. The appropriate rack mounting kit is
included with the switcher.
The switchers have an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 watts
autoswitchable power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
The MVX Plus 128 VGA A switcher has a minimum bandwidth of 300 MHz (-3 dB).
It can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, and
composite video.
Definitions
The following terms are used throughout this manual:
Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied
to more than one input.)
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the
switcher (also called configuration 0)
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global
memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned
to the input buttons and output buttons. When a preset is retrieved from
memory, it becomes the current configuration.
The switcher has 32 presets. Up to 20 presets can be selected from the front
panel for either saving or retrieving. Preset numbers larger than 20 are
accessible via serial port or Ethernet control.
