PRELIMINAR

Quick Start — MVX Series VGA Matrix Switchers

Installation

—

Mount

If desired, mount the switcher in a rack with the

supplied rack ears or mount the switcher under

a desk using an Extron MBU 149 1U enclosure

under-desk mount kit, part #

70-222-01

—

Inputs

Connect up to 4 or 8 high

resolution video inputs to

the 15-pin HD input connectors.

Connect up to 4 or 8 unbalanced stereo

audio inputs to the

input 3.5 mm mini jack

connectors.

—

Outputs

Connect up to 4 or 8 high

resolution video devices to the

15-pin HD output connectors.

Connect up to 4 or 8 balanced or

unbalanced stereo audio devices to the

output captive screw connectors.

—

RS-232

If desired,

connect a control

system or a

computer to the

RS-232 port.

—

Power

Connect the included IEC power cord into the

rear panel connector and plug the switcher in to a

100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power source.

Definitions

Tie —

An input-to-output connection

Set of ties —

An input

tied

to two or more

outputs

Configuration —

One or more

ties

sets of ties

Current configuration —

The currently active

configuration

(also called

configuration 0

)

Preset —

configuration

that has been stored.

One

preset

can be assigned to each input and

output button. 16 presets are available via

RS-232 control. When a

preset

is retrieved

from memory, it becomes the

current

configuration

Front Panel Features

Power/data/audio LED —

Indicates power is

applied. This LED also has two secondary

functions:

Serial communication function

— The

Power/data/audio LED blinks off and

on to indicate that an IR signal has been

received.

Audio level function

— In

Audio Setup

mode,

the Power/data/audio LED lights when

the selected input audio signal is > the

reference level and is unlit when the signal

is below the reference level. Adjust the

gain until the LED blinks frequently. If the

LED is almost always on, but occasionally

blinks off, the level is too high. If the LED

is almost always off, but occasionally

blinks on occasionally, the level is too low.

I/O button

selects video and audio, video, or

audio for input selection.

Video and Audio LEDs

indicate whether video

and audio, video, or audio is selected. The

Audio LED blinks to indicate audio is broken

away.

Input buttons

select an input to tie to an output.

Input LEDs

identify the input selected for the tie.

Output buttons

select output(s) to tie to an input.

Output LEDs

identify output(s) selected for the

tie.

Enter button

saves configuration changes.

Preset button

selects

Save Preset

mode or

Recall

Preset

mode, in which a configuration can be

saved as a preset or recalled.

Audio Setup button and LED

enable you to

view and/or change the current audio

level setting for each input.

Audio Setup is a

secondary function of the I/O button.

Down (

) and Up (

) buttons and LEDs

decrease

or increase the audio level for the selected

input and indicate the decrease and increase.

On 8-output switchers,

and

are secondary

functions of the Output 7 and Output 8 buttons.

+dB/–dB LEDs

indicate the polarity of the audio

level setting (+dB = gain, –dB = attenuation).

+dB and –dB are secondary functions of the Video

and Audio LEDs

CAUTION

Connect the sleeve to ground.

Connecting the sleeve to a negative (-)
terminal will damage the audio output
circuits.
