Extron’s CrossPoint Plus Series matrix
switchers combine the most popular features
of the original CrossPoint Series with these
newly added features: 450 MHz (-3dB),
minimum, ultra-wideband video bandwidth;
Digital Sync Validation Processing™; I/O
grouping; front panel I/O label windows;
view I/O mode; audio attenuation/gain;
Triple-Action Switching™; and front panel
security lock-out. The high performance
CrossPoint Plus Series matrix switchers are
ideal for ultra wideband, analog high-
resolution computer-video applications
routing RGsB, RGBS, or RGBHV video signals
and lower-resolution video. This series is
available in the following fixed
configurations: 8 x 4, 8 x 8, 12 x 4, 12 x 8,
16 x 8, and 16 x 16. The CrossPoint Plus
Series offers ideal “single box” solutions to
routing applications requiring uncom-
promised video bandwidth.
Optimized for resolutions from 1280 x 1024
and up, the CrossPoint Plus Series maintains
original signal integrity with its 450 MHz
(-3dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded.
Extron's exclusive DSVP verifies active sources
by scanning all inputs for active sync signals.
DSVP then transmits the horizontal and
vertical scan rate information to the user via
any type of control system using RS-232/422
commands. Using RS-232/422 communi-
cations, a user may monitor the status of the
matrix switcher’s sources remotely.
The CrossPoint Plus Series also provides
excellent isolation between channels and
extremely low electromagnetic emissions.
This security feature is perfect for minimizing
signal leakage in high security or government
environments. I/O grouping allows the matrix
to be virtually divided into smaller sub-
switchers, making installation and control
easier. I/O grouping conveniently allows
specific outputs—such as those designated
CrossPoint Plus
Series
Ultra-wideband Matrix Switchers
for a specific video format—to be grouped
together for convenient wiring and
switching.
Front panel I/O buttons may easily be
labeled by any Brother® P-Touch™ labeler or
by Extron’s label software, which ships with
every Extron matrix switcher. Each input and
output can be labeled with names,
alphanumeric characters, or even color
bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and
output selection. Available from the front
panel or through RS-232/422, the view I/O
mode allows you to easily see which
individual inputs and outputs are actively
connected.
Triple-Action Switching™ (RGB delay)
blanks the screen when the matrix switcher
switches to a new source. The new sync
signals precede the RGB signals, allowing the
display time to lock to the new signal, so
there is no glitch shown during the
transition. The time delay between the RGB
and sync signals is user adjustable up to five
seconds. The CrossPoint Plus Series allows
users to set the level of audio gain or
attenuation (-15dB to +9dB) via RS-232/422
or from the front panel. Individual input
audio levels may be adjusted so there are no
noticeable volume differences between
sources. If a CrossPoint Plus Series switcher is
installed in an unsecured environment where
easy access is not desirable, an optional
security lock-out feature may be used.
During lock-out mode, a special button
combination is required to operate the front
panel controller.
