1 Chapter One Introduction About the Switchers Features PRELIMINARY MVX 44 / 48 / 84 / 88 VGA Matrix Switchers
Introduction About the Switchers The Extron MVX Series VGA matrix switchers (figure 1-1) is a family of computer video matrix switchers that distribute any VGA or component/HDTV video (or other high resolution video) and audio input to any combination of outputs. The MVX Series switchers can route multiple input/output ties simultaneously. The switchers input and output high resolution video on 15-pin HD connectors. The switchers input audio on 3.5 mm mini jacks and output audio on 3.
Features Video — These switchers input and output VGA – UXGA RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs video, or component/HDTV signals on 15-pin HD female connectors. Bandwidth — Bandwidth is 300 MHz (–3 dB). This high bandwidth allows the switchers to switch high resolution video with no loss of signal quality. Audio input — These switchers input unbalanced stereo audio signals on 3.5 mm mini jacks. Audio output — These switchers output balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals on 3.
Introduction, cont’d Global memory presets — Sixteen global memory presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store input/output configurations in advance. You can then recall those configurations, when needed, with a few simple steps.
