CrossPoint 300 Matrix Switchers • Introduction
Operational flexibility —
Operations such as input/output selection, setting of
presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel
or via the RS-232/RS-422 link. The RS-232/RS-422 link allows remote control
via a PC or control system.
•
QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC™) —
The front panel
controller supports input and output selection, preset creation and selection,
audio input gain and attenuation, and audio output level. The front panel
features slots for labels that can identify each input and output with text or
graphics.
•
Windows-based control program —
For RS-232/RS-422 remote control from
a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides a graphical
interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The Windows-based
control program also has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher
configuration file at the home office and then download it for use by the
switcher on site.
•
Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™
) —
The remote control protocol uses the Extron
SIS for easy programming and operation.
•
Remote control panels and keypads —
The matrix switchers are remote
controllable, using the optional MCP 1000 master control panel and any
combination of optional MCP 1000 slave control panels and/or MKP 1000
slave control keypads. The remote control devices are easy to use and
provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each MCP 1000 can be used for
one-touch switching for a particular output and selecting global presets.
Each MKP 1000 dedicated to an output can be used to select a different input
for that output or to select a preset.
Upgradeable
firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can be
upgraded in the field via RS-232/RS-422 without taking the switcher out of
service, opening the switcher enclosure, and replacing the firmware chip.
Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron Web site,
www.extron.com, and they can be installed using the Windows
®
-based
control program.
Labeling —
The Extron label software ships with every Extron matrix switcher.
You can create labels to place above the front panel input buttons and below
the output buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps
for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be
made with any Brother
®
P-Touch
™
or comparable labeler.
Global memory presets —
20 or 32 (depending on the model) global memory
presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store input/output
configurations in advance. You can then recall those configurations, when
needed, with a few simple steps.
Rack mounting —
Rack mountable in any conventional 19" wide rack.
Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) —
If a matrix switcher is installed in
an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem,
a security lockout feature can be implemented. When the front panel is
locked, a special button combination is required to unlock the front panel
controller before it can be operated.
Power —
The matrix switcher’s 100 VAC to 240 VAC, auto-switchable, internal
power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
