User manual

Like the other switchers in the MAV series,
these new S-video and component video
versions provide flawless switching and
distribution of signals without signal
degradation. Both versions offer a minimum
150 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth. This rating
is a worst-case specification. In other words,
these switchers provide at least 150 MHz
(-3dB) at full performance capacity—when
one input signal drives all outputs. In most
other applications, video bandwidth
generally exceeds 150 MHz (-3dB).
The audio versions support balanced and
unbalanced stereo audio. The switchers with
audio also support audio breakaway, which
lets an audio signal be detached from its
video signal and routed independently from
the video source. With all Extron Matrix
audio versions the adjustable audio
attenuation/gain feature allows installers to
set the audio input levels from –15dB to
+9dB through the front panel or RS-232/422.
Individual input audio levels may be adjusted
so there are no noticeable volume
differences between sources.
These switchers feature industry-leading
technology such as video genlock and
vertical interval switching, enabling seamless
transitions between inputs. Each model
offers 16 global presets and comes with an
internal international power supply. Both
models are rack mountable in conventional
19" wide racks—the S-video series is 3U
high, and the component video series is 4U
high. Additionally, both series can be
controlled remotely using Extron’s master
control panel (MCP 1000) and remote
keypad (MKP 1000).

NEW PRODUCTS FROM EXTRON
We’ve added eight new models to our
existing 300-plus matrix models. These new
switchers build on our existing MAV Series of
composite video/stereo audio matrix
switchers. The new models include four
S-video matrix switchers and four
component video matrix switchers. All new
models are available with and without
unbalanced/balanced stereo audio.
Both the S-video and component video
matrix switchers come in two different sizes:
16 inputs and 16 outputs (16 x 16) or 16
inputs and eight outputs (16 x 8). Each size
can be configured for video and/or audio.
These new switchers are off-the-shelf
ready and immediately available for the most
time-sensitive installations. Each model ships
with our simple-to-operate front panel. The
front panel incorporates Extron’s field-tested
matrix switcher design, which was developed
to eliminate the learning curve associated
with using a matrix switcher. Input and
output selections are easily controlled with
the touch of a button through Extron’s
QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller
(QS-FPC™) technology. To simplify
operation, the input/output buttons can be
easily labeled using Extron’s label software,
which ships with every Extron matrix
switcher. These buttons can also be labeled
using any Brother P-Touch labeler.
These new switchers feature Extron’s
trademarked Simple Instruction Set (SIS™)
for RS-232/422 control. SIS is a set of ASCII
commands that makes RS-232 control easy
and intuitive. These switchers also ship
with Extron’s Windows-based control
software, which enables simple, intuitive
input/output configuration and other types
of customization. This control software
features an emulation mode that lets the
matrix switcher be pre-configured on a PC
before the switcher is actually installed.
Using the emulation mode to program the
switcher makes the programming
process very simple and reduces overall
installation time.
