About this Manual
This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up and
configure your matrix switcher. Step by step instructions show
you how to connect the hardware. It also shows you how to
perform basic operations, use both the front panel controls and
selected Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™
) commands. This guide
also shows you how to load and start up the Windows
®
-based
DSP Configurator Program and Matrix Switchers Control
Program. Lastly, this guide shows you how to connect to the
built-in HTML pages, which you can use to operate the switcher.
About the MPX Plus 866 A
A matrix switcher distributes any input to any combination of
outputs and can route multiple input/output configurations
simultaneously.
The MPX Plus 866 A media presentation matrix switcher
(figure 1-1) combines two video matrix switchers, an audio
matrix switcher, a program audio switcher, and a digital signal
processor (DSP) that provides a wide variety of microphone
pre-amplifier controls, mixers, and filters in a single product.
The MPX Plus 866 A has the following switching and mixing
capabilities:
• An 8-input by 6-output VGA matrix switcher, comprising
the computer video group
• A 6-input by 6-ouput S-video and composite video matrix
switcher, comprising the low resolution video group
• A 14-input by 6-output primary audio matrix switcher,
comprising the program audio group
• Four mono microphone (mic) / line level inputs that can
be mixed with one or all audio outputs of the primary
audio group
N
Video ties can only be made within the same group
(computer or low resolution).
Audio ties can be made only to outputs in the computer/
audio group (outputs 1 through 6).
Any video input within one of the two groups, computer video
and low resolution video, can be switched to any one or all
outputs within that same group.
The 14 inputs in the primary audio group can be switched along
with inputs from either video group (although audio ties can
only be made to the computer/audio group).
