The Extron
MVX Series
Matrix Switchers are designed to route VGA-
UXGA computer-video signals with stereo audio. Available in I/O sizes
from 4x4 to 16x16, including a new 12x12 size, the MVX Series offers
wideband switching performance with the convenience of 15-pin HD
connectors for all computer-video connections. MVX Series models
from 4x4 to 8x8 accept unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5 mm stereo
mini jacks, while the 12x8 to 16x16 sizes accept either balanced or
unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw connectors. All models
output balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw
connectors. Using pre-terminated cable assemblies, such as Extron’s
VGA with Audio Cables, eliminates crimping and makes installations
faster and easier.
All MVX Series models are equipped with a full range of control
capabilities, including a standard QS-FPC
™
- QuickSwitch Front
Panel Controller, which provides a discrete button for each input and
output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation. In addition, all models
are equipped with RS-232 serial control utilizing Extron’s
SIS
™
– Simple Instruction Set command protocol. They can be
remotely controlled with the optional Extron MKP 2000 or MKP 3000
X-Y remote control panels, or via a third party control system. An
optional handheld IR remote control is also available for 4x4 to
8x8 models.
Features
n
Ultra-wideband performance
–
350 MHz to 500 MHz (-3 dB),
depending on model
– MVX Series models in I/O sizes from
4x4 to 12x8 provide a minimum of 350 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video
bandwidth, fully loaded. Larger sizes, from 12x12 to 16x16,
provide a minimum of 500 MHz (-3 dB) at full performance
capability, when one input drives all outputs.
n
Compatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and HDTV component video
n
Audio breakaway
– Provides the capability to break an audio
signal away from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio
channels to be operated as a separate matrix switcher.
n
View I/O mode
– Allows users to easily view which individual
inputs and outputs are actively connected.
n
QS-FPC - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller
– Provides a
discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple,
intuitive operation.
n
Global presets
– Individual I/O configurations may be saved and
recalled either from the QuickSwitch front panel or through the
serial controls. This time-saving feature allows you to set up I/O
configurations and keep them in memory for future use.
n
Front panel security lockout
– Ideal for unsecured environments,
this feature locks out all front panel functions; however, these same
functions are available through RS-232 serial control.
n
RS-232 control port
– Using serial commands, the MVX Series can
be controlled and configured via the included Windows
®
-based
control software, or integrated into third-party control systems.
Extron products use the SIS - Simple Instruction Set command
protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick
and easy programming. The RS-232 port also makes it easy to
install firmware updates.
