MXA-MP & MXA-MPL Instruction Manual
Installation
Overview
Both the MXA-MP and MXA-MPL may be installed in a freestanding location, such as on a desktop or table, but both devices may
also be installed in a standard AV rack. This should be done to ensure accessibility to the Modero X Series touch panel receiving the
device’s video or image output.
NOTE:
For full functionality, the MXA-MP and MXA-MPL should be used with the Enova series media switchers and Modero X Series
touch panels. Neither device may be used with previously released AMX touch panels or media switchers.
Installing the MXA-MP/MPL
In a network, the MXA-MPL or MXA-MPL must be connected between the Enova DVX or DGX and the Modero X Series touch panel
(FIG. 3). Multiple devices may be used for touch panels on a network, but each individual device cannot be used by multiple Modero
X Series touch panels.
NOTE:
When connecting an Enova DVX to an MXA-MP or MXA-MPL, an HDMI cable adapter may be necessary to make the connection
from the DVX’s HDMI cable to the MXA-MP/L’s Video Input port.
When using the MXA-MP or MXA-MPL with a Modero X Series touch panel, the device may be used to supply power to the touch
panel in certain circumstances. (For more information, please refer to the
Maximum Power Cable Gauges and Distances
page 11.)
Instead of using a separate external power source, touch panels using an external power source may also connect to the device via
the 2-pin connector output on the device’s back (FIG. 4).
In the case of Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Modero X Series touch panels, these panels require the use of an AMX-certified PoE
injector. The PoE injector must be connected between the device and the touch panel for proper operation (see FIG. 3 above).
NOTE:
For PoE-powered Modero X Series touch panels, the AMX-certified PoE injector must be connected between the device and the
touch panel. Use of a PoE switch in place of an AMX-certified PoE injector is NOT recommended.
To connect the Modero X Series touch panel to the device:
1.
Insert the incoming cable from the network LAN to the upper
Ethernet In
RJ45 connector (FIG. 4).
2.
If the touch panel is a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) device, connect an outgoing Ethernet cable from the device’s
Ethernet Out
RJ45 connector to an AMX-certified PoE injector. Connect the output of the injector to the touch panel’s RJ45 connector, but
do not apply power until the installation is compete.
3.
If the touch panel is an MXD/T-1900L-PAN or MXD/T-2000XL-PAN (panoramic) device, outgoing power to the touch panel
may be supplied via the device’s 2-pin connector output (FIG. 4) or through another source. Do not apply power until the
installation is complete.
