MediaPort 200 • Introduction

•
Parametric EQ, filters, and limiter on USB and line outputs
– The MediaPort 200
provides nine-band equalization for room tuning. It also detects actual onset of clipping
by comparing input and output waveforms. Gain is automatically reduced without
audible artifacts to protect the audio system from clipping distortion.
•
Microphone and USB audio ducking
– Automatically lowers program audio volume
when a microphone or far-end USB audio signal is detected, eliminating the need for a
separate audio ducking processor.
•
24-bit/48 kHz analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog audio converters
– High
performance converters preserve audio signal integrity for input and output signal
conversion.
•
Fixed, low latency DSP processing
– Input to output latency is fixed within the
MediaPort 200, regardless of the number of active channels or processes, maintaining
audio and video synchronization.
•
User-definable DSP audio presets allow quick recall of commonly used
configurations
– Up to 16 user presets can be created using the Extron PCS software
application. Once created, presets can easily be recalled from the PCS software or a
control system.
•
Mute and gain audio group masters
– The MediaPort 200 provides pre-configured
group masters for consolidated mute and gain, simplifying real-time system control.
•
Soft limits provide optimal master volume adjustment range
– When using
external volume control, the master volume range can be regulated with soft limits to
maintain optimal minimum and maximum levels. This prevents operators from working
with digital I/O, RS-232, or Ethernet control from exceeding pre-defined limits.
•
Live DSP configuration
– Allows live parameter adjustments while previewing or
metering them in real-time. This avoids the need to compile and upload a configuration
file to the device.
•
Front panel controls with LCD display
– Allows convenient access to configuration
and status of the MediaPort 200.
•
Front panel USB configuration port
– Enables easy configuration without having to
access the rear panel.
•
Two digital input and two digital output control ports
– Allow external triggering
such as a mic activation and muting, as well as illuminating mic status LEDs. Digital
inputs can also be used for recalling DSP presets and adjusting volume via contact
closure.
•
+12 VDC, 100 mA remote power
– Provides remote power for various applications,
such as LED illumination for mic status and mute.
•
Front panel security lockout
– Locks out all front panel functions; all functions,
however, are available through Ethernet, USB, and RS-232 control.
•
RS-232 control port
– Enables the use of serial commands for integration into a
control system. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command
protocol, a set of basic ASCII commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
•
Built-in Web pages
– Enables the use of a standard browser for monitoring or updates
over an intuitive Web interface.
•
Easy setup and commissioning with Extron PCS - Product Configuration
Software
– Conveniently configure multiple products using a single software
application. The software also allows configuration files to be downloaded for archiving
or configuring multiple systems.
