Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron CrossPoint 300 Wideband RGBHV Analog Matrix Awitchers.

About the Matrix Switchers

Matrix switchers distribute any input signal to any combination of outputs. The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.

The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex wideband video and/or audio routing applications (figure 1-1). Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.

The matrix switchers are available in a variety of matrix sizes (the matrix size is the number of inputs and outputs):

• CrossPoint 300 84 (8 inputs by 4 outputs)

• CrossPoint 300 88 (8 inputs by 8 outputs)

• CrossPoint 300 816 (8 inputs by 16 outputs)

• CrossPoint 300 124 (12 inputs by 4 outputs)

• CrossPoint 300 128 (12 inputs by 8 outputs)

• CrossPoint 300 168 (16 inputs by 8 outputs)

• CrossPoint 300 1212 (12 inputs by 12 outputs)

• CrossPoint 300 1616 (16 inputs by 16 outputs)

CrossPoint 300 series switchers offer two models of each matrix size: HV for switching RGBHV video signals only, and HVA models for switching RGBHV video and two-channel stereo audio (balanced and unbalanced).

The CrossPoint 300 Series switchers have a video bandwidth of 300 MHz (-3 dB). All models can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, and composite video signals.

All HVA models input and output audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. For all HVA switchers, the audio switching can be either linked with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable input audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences between audio inputs.

Each matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via either its rear panel RS-232/ RS-422 port or its front panel Configuration (RS-232) port. The matrix switchers are programmed with the Extron Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™). These basic ASCII commads provide simple control through a control system or PC without programming long, obscure strings of code. SIS commands can be entered via the serial port links.

Either serial port can be connected to a control system, a PC, or the Extron MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control keypads.

The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures with rack ears to fit in a 19" rack.

• The CrossPoint 300 84, 88, 124, and 128 are in a 3U-high enclosure.

• The CrossPoint 300 816, 168, 1212, and 1616 are in a 6U-high enclosure.

Each model has an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 65 watt, autoswitching power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.

Tie — An input-to-output connection. Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied

to more than one input.)

Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties. Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the

switcher (also called configuration 0)

Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global

memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to

the input buttons and output buttons. Up to 20 or 32 (depending on the number of input and output buttons) presets can be selected from the front panel for either saving or retrieving. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. All models have 32 presets; on models with fewer than 32 input and output buttons, preset numbers that are too high to be available from the front panel are accessible via serial port control.

1-3CrossPoint 300 Matrix Switchers • Introduction

Introduction, cont’d

Features

Video — All switchers input and output wideband RGBHV or RGBS video on

female BNC connectors. They can also switch RGsB, RsGsBs, component/ HDTV, S-video, or composite video.

Bandwidth — The CrossPoint 300 Series switchers provide a minimum of

300 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded.

Audio inputs (HVA models only) — Input and output ster eo audio inputs,

balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.

Audio input gain/attenuation (HVA models only) — Individual input audio levels

can be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources. Users can set the input level of audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB) via either serial port or the front panel.

Audio output volume (HVA models only) — The audio volume of each output can

be displayed and adjusted through a range of full output to completely silent from the front panel or via serial port control.

Switching flexibility — The CrossPoint 300 series units provide individually

buffered, independent matrix switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway for audio models.

• Tie any input to any or all outputs

• Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs

simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the same time.

• Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input

via front panel or serial port control.

• Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding

video signal. This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any video signal simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under serial port control.

CrossPoint 300 Matrix Switchers • Introduction1-4

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of

presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel or via either serial port. The serial ports also allow remote control via a PC or control system.

• QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC™) — The front panel

controller supports input and output selection, preset creation and selection, audio input gain and attenuation, and audio output level. The front panel features slots for labels that can identify each input and output with text or graphics.

• Windows-based control program — For serial port remote control from a PC,

the Extron Windows-based control software provides a graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The Windows-based control program also has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher configuration file at the home office and then download it for use by the switcher on site.

™

• Simple Instruction Set (SIS

) — The remote control protocol uses the Extron

SIS for easy programming and operation.

• Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote

controllable, using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 remote control keypads. The remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each MKP can be used for input-to-output switching, one-touch switching for a particular output. The MKP 3000 also can be used for selection of global presets.

Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can be

upgraded in the field via either serial port without taking the switcher out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron Web

site, www.extron.com, and they can be installed using the Windows

-based

control program.

Labeling — The Extron Button Label Generator software ships with every Extron

matrix switcher. You can create labels to place above the front panel input buttons and below the output buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with any Brother® P-Touch™ or comparable labeler.

Global memory presets — 20 or 32 (depending on the model) 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.

Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19" wide rack. Three front panel security lockout modes (Executive modes) — If a matrix

switcher is installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, either of two security lockout modes can be implemented (the third mode is unlocked). When a front panel locked mode is enabled, a special button combination or SIS command is required to unlock the front panel controller and make the front panel fully operational.

Power — The matrix switcher’s 100 VAC to 240 VAC, auto-switching, internal

power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.

Installation

Mounting the Switcher

The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures with 19" rack ears. The amount of vertical rack space required for each switcher is as follows:

• The CrossPoint 300 84, 88, 124, and 128 are in a 3U-high enclosure.

• The CrossPoint 300 816, 168, 1212, and 1616 are in a 6U-high enclosure.

UL requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the matrix switcher into a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-

unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such

that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such

that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of

the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted

equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips.

Mounting instructions

If desired, rack mount the switcher as follows:

1. Insert the switcher into the rack, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket

with those in the rack.

2. Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied bolts.

RGBHV input and output

The switcher can connect to up to as many as 16 RGBHV video and/or stereo audio devices, depending on the model. The switcher can output to as many as 16 video and/or audio outputs, depending on the model.

The CrossPoint Series switchers can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, or composite video by using four, three, two, or one BNC(s). If switching a video format other than RGBHV, ensure that the same video planes (R, G, B, H/HV, and/or V) are used on the switcher output as on the input.

The switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.

On the 8 x 16, 16 x 8, 12 x 12, and 16 x 16 matrix sizes, the connectors for each video plane are grouped together (all of the red inputs grouped together, all of the green inputs grouped, and so on). Ensure that you connect the input of each video plane to the corresponding connector in the correct group (see the drawing at right).

RGBHV video inputs — Connect RGBHV video inputs to these

BNC connectors for each input. RGBHV video outputs — Connect RGBHV video displays or other devices to

these BNC connectors for each output.

Audio input and output (HVA models only)

By default, the audio ties follow the video ties. Audio breakaway, which can be activated via the front panel or under RS-232/RS-422 control, allows you to select from any one of the audio input sources and route it separately from its corresponding video source. See chapter 3, “Operation”, chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, and chapter 5, “Matrix Software” for details.

Connections for balanced and unbalanced audio inputs — Each input has a

3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio input. Connectors are included with each switcher, but you must supply the audio cable. See figure 2-3 to wire a connector for the appropriate input type. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the connector. High impedance is generally over 800 ohms.

CAUTION

The length of the exposed (stripped) portion of the copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter bare wires are not as secure in the direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.

CAUTION

The captive screw audio connector can easily be inadvertently plugged partially into one receptacle and partially into an adjacent receptacle. This misconnection could damage the audio output circuits. Ensure that the connector is plugged fully and only into the desired input or output.

Sync termination switches

Sync termination switches — The CrossPoint 300 matrix switchers have sync

termination switches on the rear panel for inputs 1 through 4 (figure 2-7). The switches provide a way to condition non-TTL sync levels greater than 5 Vp-p, enabling the sync to be properly passed from input to selected output(s). The matrix switchers have two sets of sync termination switches; one for horizontal or combined sync and a second set for vertical sync.

CrossPoint 300

16, 168, 1212, and 1616

Figure 2-7 — Sync termination switches

Each switch provides the option of selecting either 510 ohms or 75 ohms. The 75 ohms position is required only for an input with non-TTL sync, greater than 5 Vp-p. The normal position is 510 ohms.

An input that produces an out-of-sync display, a display that is rolling vertically and/or tearing horizontally, could indicate a non-TTL sync input. A device that is known to output non-TTL sync levels (greater than 5 Vp-p) should be connected to one of the inputs with sync termination switches, and the switches for that input should be set to the 75 ohm position. If you are not sure, check the specifications in the user’s manual for the input device.

This port is RS-232 only, with its default protocols as follows:

• 9600 baud • no parity • 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit • no flow control

The maximum distances from the matrix switcher to the controlling device can vary up to 200 feet (61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud rates, environment, and output levels (from the switcher and the controlling device) all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50 feet (15 m) are typically not a problem. In some cases the matrix switcher may be capable of serial communications via RS-232 up to 250 feet (76 m) away.
