MFP62 USER MANUAL
Microphone Input & Audio Mixing
The MFP62 features a microphone input that can support 48V phantom power, balanced and unbalanced microphones, as well
as line level audio input. It also features auto audio ducking where by the input source’s audio decreases in volume and the
microphone audio is mixed over the top. This feature is enabled by default and can be customised via the MFP62’s web GUI or RS-
232. The illustration below outlines how the microphone audio mixes over the input source’s audio.

All the microphone mixing features can be adjusted via RS-232.
The RS-232 commands assosciated with each item are as follows:

MIC VOL xx (%)

MIC BG VOL (%)
MIC RDN (0.5-10s)

MIC Mute Sense
MIC RUP (0.5-10s)
MIC BGR (1-20s)
When using the microphone mixing functionality, it is recommended to only use 2ch audio sources, or set the EDID of the product
to a 2ch EDID. While the MFP62 does support multichannel audio, mixing the microphone input over the multichannel signal is not
possible hence the source audio drops out when the microphone audio is triggered. To enable multichannel audio support, you
must choose a multichannel EDID via the Web GUI of the product.
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by
the source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display. By pre-determining the video resolution
and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time needed for EDID hand shaking.
Configuration of switcher’s EDID settings can be achieved using the Menu button on the front panel of the MFP62, RS-232 or via its
Web GUI. The EDID options available are:
The MFP62 supports scaling of the output video signal. This can be selected by pressing the Timing button on the front panel of
the matrix, or via the Web GUI or RS-232. Note: both HDMI outputs will output at the same resolution. Scaler options are:
Auto mode will examine the EDID of the display connected to HDMI Out 1 first, and choose the best output resolution based on
the EDID information.

Scaler Frequency
The output scaler can be forced to a fixed frequency as specified above, or when the scaler is in auto mode, the frequency mode
can also be set to auto where by the input frequency will dictate the output frequency in conjunction with the EDID from the
display, to give the best result possible. The chart below shows what the output frequency should be based on the EDID of the
display.
