About this Manual

This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for

the Extron MVX Plus 128 VGA A 12-input by 8-output wideband computer video

(VGA) and audio (A) matrix switcher.

About the MVX Plus 128 VGA A Matrix Switcher

The MVX matrix switcher distributes any of 12 inputs to any combination of

8 outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output configurations

simultaneously.
The matrix switcher is a single box solution to complex wideband video and/or

audio routing applications (figure 1-1). Each input and output is individually

isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs

with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
