Introduction About the MMX 42/62 Series Matrix Switchers The Extron MMX 42/62 series of compact matrix switchers consists of four models of 4-input, 2-output video and audio matrix switchers, and four models of 6-input, 2-output video and audio matrix switchers, including the following: RS-232 Control UTS 2 TP OU 1 6 MMX switcher model 2 23 RSTX RX L 5 TS 4 INPU 3 Description A R MAV 62 AV RC 2 UTS 1 1 TP OU 5 MMX 42 SVA 4 x 2 S-video (4-pin mini DIN) and audio (captive screw) switch
Introduction, cont’d All models Audio inputs — MMX switchers accept up to four (MMX 42) or six (MMX 62) stereo audio inputs. AV and SVA models accept balanced or unbalanced stereo on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. RCA models accept unbalanced stereo on RCA terminals. Audio outputs — MMX switchers output two stereo audio outputs. AV and SVA models output balanced or unbalanced stereo on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. RCA models output unbalanced stereo on RCA terminals.
Installation Installation Overview To install and set up an Extron MMX 42/62 switcher for operation, follow these steps: 1 Turn off all of the equipment. Ensure that the video sources and the output display are all turned off and disconnected from the power source. 2 Mount the switcher. See "Mounting the Switcher", below. 3 Attach the cables. See "Rear Panel Cabling" in this chapter. 4 Plug in the power supply, then turn on the display devices and the input devices.
Installation, cont’d 5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). Mounting instructions On the 6-inch and 9.5-inch deep rack shelves, the switcher can be mounted in the front or the rear of the rack. 1. Remove the feet from the bottom of the switcher, if they are installed. 2.
Installation, cont’d Rear Panel Cabling Power connection All connectors are on the rear panel. The type and layout of the connectors on the rear panel will vary, depending on the model of the switcher. The rear panels of the MMX 42 series switchers are similar to the MMX 62 series switcher, except they have four rather than six video and audio input connectors.
Installation, cont’d Video signal input connections The audio level for each input can be individually set, via RS-232 link, to ensure that the level on the output does not vary from input to input. See chapter 4, "Remote Control", for details. N The MMX switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input. b Composite video input connectors — Connect composite video sources to these female BNC connectors.
Installation, cont’d RS-232 connection j Remote connector — Connect a host device, such as a computer or a touch control panel, to the MMX switcher via this 3-pole captive screw connector (figure 2-13) for remote control using the SIS or Windows-based control program.
Operation Front Panel Controls and Indicators Front Panel Operations Figure 3-1 shows the controls and indicators on the front panel of the MMX 62 compact matrix switcher. 1 2 3 4 5 Plug in all system components and turn on the input devices (such as DVD players and DSS receivers) and the output devices. Set the input devices to output video using each device’s own operating instructions.
Operation, cont’d Front Panel Security Lockout (Executive Mode) When front panel is locked, the front panel input and Configuration buttons' functions are blocked. To toggle the front panel lock on or off, press and hold down the Output and Configuration buttons for more than 3 seconds. All LEDs flash to indicate that the command has been accepted. N When the front panel is locked, you still can view the tied inputs by pressing the Outputs button to toggle between the selection of output 1 and output 2.
Remote Control The switcher’s rear panel Remote connector (figure 4-1) can be connected to the serial port output of a host device. Remote communications with the switcher are via the Extron Simple Instruction Set or using the Windows-based Extron control program.

Windows®-Based Program Control The Windows-based Extron Universal Switcher Control Program, which communicates with the switcher via the RS-232 port, provides an easy way to configure and operate the MMX Series matrix switchers. The program is compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Installing the software The program is contained on the Extron Software Products DVD. Install the software as follows: 1. Insert the DVD into the drive.
Remote Control, cont’d 4. Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the Windows installation of the Universal Switchers Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\UnivSW, and it places the following four icons into a group folder named “Extron Electronics\Universal Switcher”: • • • • Check for Universal Switcher Updates Uninstall Universal Switcher Universal Switcher Control Program Universal Switcher Help Using the software Run the program as follows: 1.
Remote Control, cont’d Muting the video and audio signals To mute one or both of the switcher’s video or audio outputs: 1. Place the mouse cursor over the A/V Mute tab at the side of the window. The A/V Mute field (figure 4-6) replaces the Unit Info field that was shown in figure 4-5. 1 Setting audio levels To set or changes the levels for audio inputs: 1. Place the mouse cursor over the Gain/Attenuation 1 tab at the side of the window.
Remote Control, cont’d Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) If the switcher is installed in an accessible area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, a security lock-out feature can be implemented that locks all Input buttons and the Configuration button. When the front panel is locked, it cannot be operated.
Remote Control, cont’d Loading the firmware to the switcher To load a new version of firmware to your MMX switcher, call the Firmware Loader software from within the Universal Switcher Control Program. Your computer’s serial port must be connected to the switcher’s serial port. See chapter 2, “Installation,” for more information. 1. If necessary, download the Firmware Loader installer executable file to your computer, as follows: a. On the Extron Web site, click the Download tab. b.
