About this Manual
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
Extron MVX VGA A wideband computer video (VGA) and audio matrix switchers.
About the MVX VGA A Matrix Switchers
The MVX matrix switchers distribute any input signal to any combination of
outputs. The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations
simultaneously.
The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex wideband (figure 1-1)
video and/or audio routing applications. Each input and output is individually
isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or to all outputs
with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
The MVX matrix switchers are available in a variety of matrix sizes (the matrix size
is the number of inputs and outputs):
• MVX 128 VGA A
(12 inputs by 8 outputs)
• MVX 168 VGA A
(16 inputs by 8 outputs)
• MVX 1212 VGA A
(12 inputs by 12 outputs)
• MVX 1616 VGA A
(16 inputs by 16 outputs)
