Introduction This section provides information on the following topics: • About this Manual • About the MMX 32 VGA MTP • Features About this Manual This manual discusses how to install and operate the Extron MMX 32 VGA MTP matrix switcher. About the MMX 32 VGA MTP The Extron MMX 32 VGA MTP is a compact, three-input, two-output matrix switcher suitable for small installations or portable systems.
Features • Inputs — The MMX VGA MTP has three female 15-pin HD input connectors, each with a 3.5 mm stereo jack. • Outputs — The unit routes computer video and audio signals to two outputs: • Output 1 is a local output, using one female 15-pin HD connector with a 3.5 mm stereo jack. • Output 2 is a transmitted output, using an RJ-45 UTP connector for RGBHV video and summed audio, with an additional audio output on a 5-pole captive screw connector.
Installation and Operation This section covers the following topics: • Mounting the MMX 32 VGA MTP • Rear Panel Features and Cabling • Front Panel Features and Operation Mounting the MMX 32 VGA MTP The MMX 32 VGA MTP can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, or mounted under a desk, podium, or tabletop. Tabletop Use Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the switcher.
Rack Mounting For optional rack mounting, mount the switcher on any of the following rack shelves: • RSU 126, 6” deep 1U rack shelf kit (part number 60-190-10) • RSB 126, 6” deep basic 1U rack shelf (part number 60-604-10) • RSU 129, 9.5” deep Standard universal 1U rack shelf kit (part number 60-190-01) • RSB 129, 9.
Furniture Mounting Use the optional MBU 125 mounting kit (part number 70-077-01) to mount the MMX as follows: 1. Remove the feet from the bottom of the MMX, if installed. 2. Attach the mounting brackets to the MMX with the provided machine screws (figure 4). Figure 4. Mounting the MMX 32 VGA MTP Under Furniture 3. Hold the device with the attached brackets against the underside of the mounting surface. Mark the bracket screw hole locations on the mounting surface. 4.

Power Connection i Power connector — An external 12 VDC power supply is included with the unit. Plug it into this 2-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector. Wire the connector as shown in figure 8. G Smooth Ridges A A SECTION A–A Power Supply Output Cord Tie Wrap Figure 8. Power Connection Wiring CAUTION: Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the MMX. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord (figure 8).
TP Cable Termination NOTE: RJ-45 termination must comply with the TIA/EIA T 568A or TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standards for all connections. If you are using Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable, then you should use the TIA/EIA T 568A standard only. Figure 9 details the recommended termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568A or TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standards. You can use either standard with CAT 5 cable, but ensure that you use the same standard on both ends of the cable.
Front Panel Features and Operation OUTPUT 1 1 2 OUTPUT 2 3 1 2 3 MMX 32 VGA MTP 1 2 Figure 10. Front Panel Features a Input selector buttons and LEDs for output 1 — Press the button corresponding to the desired input. The LED for that input lights. b Input selector buttons and LEDs for output 2 — Press the button corresponding to the desired input. The LED for that input lights. NOTE: When power is applied, the LEDs light sequentially from left to right.
System Reset To clear all user settings and reset the switcher to its factory settings, press and hold the input 3 button for output 1 while you power up the switcher (see figure 11). Continue to hold the button while the switcher lights the front panel LEDs sequentially from left to right. The default settings are: input 1 is tied to both outputs, the front panel is not locked, and all states are unmuted.
Remote Control This section covers topics relating remote control operation, including: • Output Control • RS-232 Control • Contact Closure Control The rear panel Remote connectors of the switcher can be connected to the serial port output of a host device such as a computer or control system, or to a contact closure device such as the Extron MMX 32 AAP panel (part number 70-277-11) or MMX 32 MAAP panel (part number 70-277-12 or -22).
Simple Instruction Set Control Host-to-switcher instructions The switcher accepts SIS commands through the remote connector. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
Symbol definitions • = Space ] = Carriage return/line feed } = Carriage return (no line feed) E = “Escape key” or W | = Pipe (vertical bar) character. Has the same function as }. W = Has the same function as E.

Loading firmware using an SIS command Firmware can be uploaded two ways: 1. Using the Universal Switcher Control Program. 2. Using the “Eupload” SIS command entered via a communications utility such as HyperTerminal. NOTE: Extron recommends that you upload firmware using the Universal Switcher Control Program (see “Updating the firmware” on page 21) and reserve this SIS procedure for correcting firmware that has been corrupted and is unable to respond to the Universal Switcher Control Program.
NOTE: Ensure that the firmware upgrade is for the MMX Series switcher. Valid firmware files must have the file extension “.s19”. Any other file extension is not a firmware upgrade for your switcher. 7. Click Open. The firmware upload begins. If the HyperTerminal echo function is turned on, HyperTerminal displays a scroll of the text of the firmware file as it uploads to the switcher (figure 15). Figure 14. Select the Firmware Upgrade File Figure 15. Upload Progress Display 8.
Windows®-Based Control Program The Universal Switcher Control Program is compatible with Windows 98 and later, and provides remote control of the input selection for each output (including video/audio breakaway), audio gain and attenuation adjustments, and front panel lock out. Updates to this program can be downloaded from the Extron Web site (www.extron.com). Installing the software The program is contained on the Extron Software Products DVD. Install the software as follows: 1.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. The program prompts you to choose to either “run” or “save” the software. Click Run for the default installation, which creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\UNIVSW folder and places three files (UNIVSW.exe, UNIVSW.hlp, and UniversalSwitch_update.exe) into the folder. A shortcut for the Control Program may also be placed on the PC Desktop for quick access. Click Save if you want to save the software installer on your PC.
Resetting the switcher The Unit Reset window allows you to clear all user settings and reset the switcher to its factory default settings. To reset the switcher, click System Reset on the Configure menu (figure 19). The switcher will automatically reset to its factory default settings. Figure 19. Unit Reset Window Updating the firmware Firmware updates periodically become available on the Extron Web site. To load a firmware update: 1. Download the update file from the Extron Web site (www.extron.com).
8. Click Browse in the New Firmware File field. Locate the update file you downloaded from the Web site and click Open. NOTE: The firmware update file must have an .s19 extension. If it does not have that extension, it could cause the unit to stop functioning. 9. Click Add. The Firmware Loader window will appear. 10. Click Begin on the upper right hand corner of the Firmware Loader window. The program will begin to load the update. 11. When the program is finished loading the update, click Exit.
Connecting an MMX 32 AAP or MMX 32 MAAP Control Panel Each Extron MMX 32 AAP and MMX 32 MAAP contact closure remote control panel can control one of the two outputs on the switcher. To connect a panel to the switcher, wire the captive screw connectors on the rear of the panel as follows: 3 4 2 5 1 Figure 21. MMX 32 AAP Rear Panel 3 4 5 2 1 Figure 22.
