CrossPoint 42 HVA Matrix Switcher 1 Chapter One Introduction About the CrossPoint 42 Matrix Switcher Features
Introduction, cont’d Introduction About the CrossPoint 42 Matrix Switcher The Extron CrossPoint 42 HVA Matrix Switcher is an analog RGBHV matrix switcher, with stereo audio, that distributes any input to any combination of outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously. The Extron CrossPoint 42 HVA Matrix Switcher switches RGBHV and two-channel stereo audio (balanced and unbalanced).
Features Inputs — This switcher offers 4 RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, or composite video inputs on BNC connectors. Stereo audio input can be balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. Outputs — 2 RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, or composite video outputs are available on BNC connectors. Stereo audio output can be balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.
Introduction, cont’d Switching — Individually buffered, independent matrix switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway. • Any input to any output • Audio follow — Audio can be switched with the corresponding video input. This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any video signal simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio follow switching can be done via front panel or under RS-232 remote control.
CrossPoint 42 HVA Matrix Switcher 2 Chapter Two Installation Mounting the Switcher Cabling and Rear Panel Views
Installation, cont’d Installation Mounting the Switcher The CrossPoint 42 HVA Matrix Switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 1U high, 19” wide metal enclosure. The appropriate rack mount kit (#70-077-03) is included with the switcher. The switcher may also be surface-mounted under a table, desk, or podium, or on a wall, using an Extron 1U underdesk mounting kit (#70-222-01). Table or wall mounting The table/wall mounting brackets extend approximately 1/4” (6.
Rack mounting Rack mount the switcher as follows: 1. Attach the rack mounting brackets to the switcher with the eight provided #8 machine screws (figure 2-1). 2. Insert the switcher into the rack, align the holes in the mounting bracket with those of the rack. 3. Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied machine screws. Cabling and Rear Panel Views All connectors are on the rear panel. Figure 2-2 shows the rear panel of the CrossPoint 42 HVA. 2 3 1.
Installation, cont’d Audio input and output connections 4 Connections for balanced and unbalanced audio inputs — Each input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio input. Connectors are included with each CrossPoint switcher, but you must supply the audio cable. See figure 2-3 to wire a connector for the appropriate input type and impedance level. High impedance is generally over 800 ohms.
RS-232 connection 6 Remote/RS-232 port — Connect a host device, such as a computer or touch panel control, to the CrossPoint via this 9-pin D connector for serial RS-232 control. 1 5 6 6 1 9 9 5 Female Male If desired, attach an MCP 1000 remote control panel master unit to the switcher’s RS-232 connector. You can also attach an MKP 1000 remote keypad or MCP 1000 slave unit to the MCP 1000 master unit.

42 CrossPoint 42 HVA Matrix Switcher 3 Chapter Three Operation Front Panel Controls and Indicators Front Panel Operations Rear Panel Controls
Operation, cont’d Operation Front Panel Controls and Indicators The front panel controls (figure 3-1) are grouped into three sets. The Outputs button and LEDs are grouped on the left side of the control panel, the Inputs buttons and LEDs are grouped in the center of the panel, and the I/O (input/ output) control buttons and LEDs are grouped on the right side of the panel.
explanation of audio level adjustment is included in Viewing and adjusting the audio level later in this chapter. 6 Audio/-dB LED — The Conf/Save button selects and deselects audio for a configuration being created or viewed. The Audio/-dB LED lights to indicate that audio is available for configuration or viewing. The Audio/-dB LED lights steadily to indicate that the audio follows the video configuration.
Operation, cont’d 4. If audio and video are tied to different inputs (audio breakaway), and if you select video and audio for display, the LED for the selected video input lights steadily and the LED for the selected audio input blinks. 5. If an output with no tie is selected, only that output’s LED lights. Example 1: Create a set of video and audio ties — input 3 to output 1 See figure 3-2 and the following steps for an example in which input 3 is tied to output 1.
Viewing the current configuration The current configuration can be viewed using the front panel buttons. Press and release the Output button and the LED for the input tied to it will light. If, when you view video and audio ties, the Audio LED blinks and the Video LED is on after selecting an input or output, the LEDs indicate that the audio ties are not the same as the video ties for that input (audio breakaway is active).

C Press and release the Decrement ( ) or Increment ( ) button to decrease or increase the audio input level until the Inputs 1 and 2 LEDs are lit and the Input 3 LED is blinking rapidly and the Video/+dB LED is on.
Rear Panel Controls The CrossPoint 42 HVA has sync termination switches on the rear panel for all inputs (figure 3-5). The switches provide a way to condition non-TTL sync levels greater than 5 Vp-p, enabling the sync to be properly passed from input to selected output(s). The CrossPoint 42 HVA has two sets of sync termination switches; one for horizontal or combined sync and a second set for vertical sync.

CrossPoint 42 HVA Matrix Switcher 4 Chapter Four Programmer’s Guide Host-to-Switcher Instructions Switcher-Initiated Messages Using the Command/Response Table
Programmer’s Guide, cont’d Programmer’s Guide The switcher’s rear panel RS-232 connector (figure 4-1) can be connected to the serial port output of a host device such as a computer or control system. This connection makes software control of the switcher possible. Remote communications with the CrossPoint 42 are via Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS) or using Extron’s Windows-based control program.
Switcher Error Responses When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host.
