PRELIMINAR
Y
Audio —
Input and output balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole
captive screw terminals.
Audio input gain/attenuation —
Individual input audio levels can be adjusted so
there are no noticeable volume differences between sources.
Users can set the
input level of audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB) via the Ethernet
link, RS-232 link, or the front panel.
Audio output volume
— The audio volume of each output can be displayed and
adjusted through a range of full output to completely silent from the front
panel or under RS-232 or Ethernet control.
Switching fl exibility —
Provides individually buffered, independent matrix
switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway.
N
Audio switching is independent of the video groups.
•
Tie any input to any or all outputs within a video group
•
Quick multiple tie —
Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs
within a video group simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to
change from source to source at the same time.
•
Audio follow —
Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input
via front panel control or under Ethernet or RS-232 remote control.
•
Audio breakaway —
Audio can be broken away from its corresponding
video signal. This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any
video signal simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio
breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under Ethernet or
RS-232 remote control.
Operational fl exibility —
Operations such as input/output selection, setting of
presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel
or via the Ethernet or RS-232 link. The Ethernet and RS-232 links allow
remote control via a PC or control system. The Ethernet link allows multiple
remote links with two levels of password protection.
•
Front panel control
— The front panel controller supports input and output
selection, preset creation and selection, and audio gain and attenuation and
volume control. 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 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
confi guration fi le at the home offi ce and then download it for use by the
switcher on site.
•
Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™
) —
The remote control protocol uses Extron’s
SIS for easy programming and operation.
•
Remote control panels and keypads —
The switcher is remote controllable,
using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 remote control panels. The
remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick
selection. Each MKP can be used for input-to-output switching or one-touch
switching for a particular output and selecting global presets.
Upgradable
fi rmware —
The fi rmware that controls all switcher operation can be
upgraded in the fi eld via RS-232 or Ethernet, without taking the switcher out
of service. 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.
