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).

MKP 3000
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.
RS-232 connection to the switcher
Any number of MKP 3000s can be connected to a matrix
switcher through its RS-232 port, but one MKP must be
designated as the primary controller. Other MKPs can be daisy
chained through the primary MKP remote control panel.
Ethernet connection to the switcher
Any number of MKP 3000s can be connected to a matrix
switcher as part of an Ethernet local area network (LAN).
About this Manual
This manual provides installation and operation instructions for
the Extron MKP 3000 and MKP 3000 MAAP.
The MKP 3000 and MKP 3000 MAAP 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 MAAP is functionally the same device as the
MKP 3000, but with a different front panel that 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.
In this manual, the term “MKP 3000” applies to either
the MAAP or non-MAAP model unless the description
specifically names the MKP 3000 MAAP.
About the MKP 3000 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 panels are mounted on two-gang wall plates 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.
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 will have one or more MKP
control panels assigned to it, with each MKP limited to the
inputs and outputs that it can control.
