MPX 866 A Media Presentation Matrix Switcher • Introduction
PRELIMINAR
Y
The switcher is a solution to complex simultaneous computer video, low resolution
video, and audio routing applications. Any input(s) within one of the two groups,
computer video and video, can be switched to any one or all outputs within
that same group. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered;
switching is accomplished with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between
channels.
The computer video group has a minimum bandwidth of 300 MHz (-3 dB).
The low resolution video group has a minimum bandwith of 150 MHz (-3 dB).
The MPX inputs and outputs computer (VGA) video in the computer video group
on 15-pin HD connectors. The switcher inputs and outputs S-video and composite
video in the low resolution video group on female BNC connectors. The MPX
inputs and outputs balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio on 5-pole, 3.5 mm
captive screw connectors.
The audio switching can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or
independent of the video (audio breakaway). The 14 audio inputs can be switched
along with inputs from either video group (although ties can only be made to
the computer/audio subgroup). Adjustable input audio gain and attenuation
compensates for level differences between audio inputs.
The switcher has two, primary and secondary, RS-232 ports and a local area
network (LAN) Ethernet port for remote control and reporting. The matrix
switcher is programmed with Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™
), a set of basic
ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a control system or PC
without programming long, obscure strings of code. SIS commands can be entered
via the RS-232 ports or the LAN port.
The LAN port can be connected through a LAN or wide area network (WAN).
The MPX can be operated by any of the following connected to either RS-232 ports
or the LAN port:
•
A control system
•
A PC
•
An Extron MKP 2000 remote control panel
•
An Extron MKP 3000 remote control panel
•
(
RS-232 only
)
An Extron MCP 1000 remote control panel and/or MKP 1000
remote keypad
The switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 2U high metal enclosure with
mounting fl anges for standard 19” racks. The appropriate rack mounting kit is
included with the switcher.
The switcher has an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 15 watts
autoswitchable power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
