Installation of multiple BME system

Rack mount the switcher BMEs.

Step 1 — Numbering the BMEs

Each BME must be set to a unique address of 0 through 5.

BME address switch — To set the BME address, press the
+ and - buttons on the BME Address switch on the rear

panel of the switcher BMEs, as shown at right.

N

Addresses 6 through 9 are invalid.

The addresses used in the system must be sequential
with no skipped numbers.
Sync BMEs cannot be set to address 0

N

BME 0 is the controlling unit. All control

communications and front panel operations shuld be
made through BME 0 only.

S

Step 2 — Daisy chaining the BMEs

If the matrix switcher system consists of more than one
BME, the BMEs must be connected together in a daisy
chain using Extron-supplied RJ-45 cables.

BME COMM interconnect ports — Connect the fi rst daisy chain
from BME 0’s BME Comm Out connector to the nearest BME’s
BME Comm In connector as shown at right. In a rack whose
BMEs are arranged so that their physical location matches the
BME address numbering, this would be BME 1. But since not all
systems are confi gured alike, call this module BME n.

Connect the next RJ-45 cable from BME n’s BME Comm Out
connector to the nearest unconnected BME’s (BME n+1’s) BME
Comm In connector.

Continue connecting RJ-45 cables from each daisy-chained
module’s BME Comm Out connector to the next module’s BME
Comm In connector until all modules are included in the chain.
When all of the BMEs are connected, each of the BMEs in the
system is connected to at least one other BME via the BME Comm
connectors.

About this Manual

This manual contains installation, confi guration, and operating information for the
Extron family of full-function, very large CrossPoint 450 Plus ultra-wideband and
MAV Plus 3248 through 6464 video and audio matrix switchers.

About the Matrix Switchers

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

The Extron very large CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus matrix switchers are a
family of matrix switcher basic module enclosures (BMEs) that allow you to create
a video and/or audio matrix switching system with up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs
specifi cally tailored to meet your requirements. All BMEs are rack mountable. All
video and sync BMEs are 6U in height; audio BMEs are 7U in height. This family of
matrix switcher BMEs includes the following models:

• CrossPoint 450 Plus Wideband video switcher BME — A switcher

that routes one video plane (red [R], green [G], and blue [B]) from any
input to any one or more outputs. This BME has a video bandwidth of
450 MHz (–3 dB), fully loaded, to support video resolutions of 1600 x 1200
and above.

• CrossPoint 450 Plus Sync switcher BME — A switcher that routes one sync

plane (horizontal [H], vertical [V], or composite sync [S]) from any input to
any one or more outputs..

• MAV Plus Video switcher BME — A switcher that routes one plane of low
resolution (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) component video (Y, R-Y, or B-Y), S-video
(Y or C), and composite video from any input to any one or more outputs.
This BME has a video bandwidth of 150 MHz (–3 dB), fully loaded, to
support all video resolutions.

• MAV Plus Stereo Audio switcher BME — A switcher that routes balanced
or unbalanced stereo audio (two audio planes) from any input to any one or
more outputs.

• MAV Plus Mono Audio switcher BME — A switcher that routes mono audio
(one audio plane) from any input to any one or more outputs.

Each BME model is available in the following matrix sizes:

1-2

• 3248 (32 inputs by 48 outputs)

• 3264 (32 inputs by 64 outputs)

• 4832 (48 inputs by 32 outputs)

• 4848 (48 inputs by 48 outputs)

• 4864 (48 inputs by 64 outputs)

• 6432 (64 inputs by 32 outputs)

• 6448 (64 inputs by 48 outputs)

• 6464 (64 inputs by 64 outputs)

CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Switchers • Introduction

Some BMEs are equipped with an integrated QuickSwitch-Front Panel Controller
(QS-FPC™):

• The CrossPoint 450 Plus Video BME is available with or without a QS-FPC.

• The MAV Plus video BME is always equipped with a QS-FPC.

• The CrossPoint 450 Plus Sync BME is not available with a QS-FPC.

• The MAV Plus audio BME (stereo or mono) is not available with a QS-FPC.

• BMEs without a QS-FPC are equipped with a blank front panel.

A wideband (RGBHV or RGBS) video matrix switcher system requires a
CrossPoint 450 Plus Wideband BME for each video plane (red, green, and blue)
and a CrossPoint 450 Plus Sync BME for each sync plane (H and V [two planes]
or composite sync [one plane]). To add audio to the system requires a MAV Plus
Stereo or Mono BME (fi gure 1-1).

Introduction, cont’d

A low resolution video matrix switcher system requires a MAV Plus Video BME for
each video plane (three BMEs for component video, two BMEs for S-video, or one
BME for composite video). To add audio to the system requires a MAV Plus Stereo
or Mono Audio BME.

PRELIMINARY

N

The matrix switchers are solutions to complex wideband or low resolution video
and/or audio routing applications. 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 audio BMEs input and output audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole (stereo BME) or 3-pole
(mono BME) captive screw terminals.

For matrix switcher systems with video and audio BMEs, the audio switching can
either be 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.

The matrix switcher system can be remotely controlled via its local area network
(LAN) Ethernet port and/or RS-232/RS-422 port on the rear of the primary BME
(BME 0). The matrix switchers are programmed with Extron’s Simple Instruction
Set™ (SIS™), a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control
through a control system or PC without programming long, obscure strings of code.
SIS commands can be entered via either the Ethernet link or the RS-232/RS-422
link.

The LAN port can be connected through a LAN or wide area network (WAN).

The switchers feature e-mail notifi cation of maintenance or other concerned
personnel concerning the status of the power supplies and the loss or resumption of
sync on individual inputs.

The RS-232/RS-422 port can be connected to a control system, a PC, or any of the
Extron remote control panels, such as the MKP 2000 or MKP 3000.

The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures with 19" rack
ears. Each video and sync BME model is housed in a 6U enclosure. The MAV Plus
audio BMEs are housed in a 7U enclosure. The appropriate rack mounting kit is
included with each switcher.

Each model has two, primary and redundant, internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC,
50/60 Hz auto switchable power supplies that provide worldwide power
compatibility and redundant dependability. The power supply wattages are as
follows:

Multiple QS-FPCs are unnecessary and potentially confusing. To avoid

confusion, Extron recommends that you lock the redundant QS-FPCs. See
Locking out the front panel (Executive mode) on page 3-40.

CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Switchers • Introduction

Defi nitions

The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout
this manual:

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.)

Confi guration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.

Current confi guration — The confi guration that is currently active in the

switcher (also called confi guration 0).

Global memory preset — A confi guration that has been stored. Up to 64 global

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

the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. All presets can be
selected from the front panel for either saving or retrieving. When a preset is
retrieved from memory, it becomes the current confi guration. All presets are
also accessible under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.

Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as

determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of
which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.

Room memory preset — A confi guration consisting of outputs in a single room

that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it
becomes the current confi guration. The switchers support up to 10 presets
per room.

Features

Video (video BMEs) — All switchers input and output video on BNC connectors.

CrossPoint 450 Plus Wideband Video — These switcher BMEs input and output

wideband RGBHV or RGBS video. They can also switch RGsB, RsGsBs,
component/HDTV, S-video, or composite video.

MAV Plus Low Resolution Video — These switcher BMEs input and output

NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, or SECAM video or HDTV video inputs.
Depending on the video format of the switcher system, these switchers can
distribute low resolution RGsB, RsGsGs, component/HDTV, S-video, or
composite video.

Bandwidth —

CrossPoint 450 Plus Wideband Video — The wideband switcher BMEs provide

a minimum of 450 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded.

MAV Plus Low Resolution Video — The low resolution switcher BMEs provide

a minimum of 150 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded.

Audio inputs (audio BMEs only) —

Stereo audio BME — Input and output balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on

3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.

Mono audio BME — Input and output mono audio on 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive

screw terminals.

Audio input gain/attenuation (audio BMEs only) — Individual input audio

Audio output volume (systems with audio BMEs) — 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 under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet
control.

Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™) (CrossPoint 450 Plus Sync BMEs) —

In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations, it may be vital to
know that sources are active and switching. Extron’s DSVP confi rms that
input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP
provides instantaneous frequency feedback for composite sync or separate
horizontal and vertical sync signals via the switcher’s RS-232/RS-422 or
Ethernet port. The frequency information can be displayed on any control
system or in a Windows
(LAN) or Internet (IP) connection (fi gure 1-2).

RGB Delay (CrossPoint 450 Plus Sync BMEs) — A switcher that includes a

CrossPoint 450 Plus Sync BME can briefl y blank the RGB (video) output
while it switches to the new input’s sync source, and then switches the RGB
signals. This allows a brief delay for the display to adjust to the selected
input’s sync timing before displaying the new picture, which will appear
without glitches. RGB delay, also known as Triple-Action Switching
video mute switching, is user selectable from 0 to 5 seconds, in half-second
increments.

Rooming — Each switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to

specifi c “rooms”, allowing them to have their own presets.

Switching fl exibility — Provides individually buffered, independent matrix

switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway for systems with
audio BMEs.

• 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 control or under Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 remote 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 Ethernet or
RS-232/RS-422 remote control.

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

presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel
or via the Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 link. The Ethernet and RS-232/RS-422
links allow remote control via a PC or control system. The Ethernet link
allows multiple remote links with two levels of password protection.

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

controller supports input and output selection, I/O grouping, preset creation
and selection, RGB delay, and audio gain and attenuation, and volume
control (systems with audio BMEs). The front panel features illuminated
pushbuttons that can be labeled with text or graphics.

N

The front panel controller is standard, not optional, on MAV Plus video BMEs.

In systems with multiple BMEs, all are operational, but there may be a delay in
reporting confi guration. To prevent confusion, Extron recommend locking the
front panels of all BMEs with the exception of BME 0.

A front panel controller cannot be installed on a sync or audio BME. See
Locking out the front panel (Executive mode) on page 3-40.

PRELIMINARY

• Windows-based control program — For RS-232/RS-422 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
confi guration fi le at the home offi ce and then download it for use by the
switcher on site.

• Simple Instruction Set (SIS

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
panels. 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 fi rmware — The fi rmware that controls all switcher operation can

be upgraded in the fi eld via RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet, 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 or the built-in HTML pages.

Labeling — Extron’s included button label software lets you create labels to place

in the front panel I/O 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 — 64 global memory presets are a time-saving feature that

lets you set up and store input/output confi gurations in advance. You can
then recall those confi gurations, when needed, with a few simple steps.

Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19” wide rack.

Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) — If a matrix switcher BME with

a QS-FPC is installed in an open area where operation by unauthorized
personnel may be a problem, a security lockout feature can be implemented.
When the front panel is locked, a special button combination or SIS command
is required to unlock the front panel controller before it can be operated.

I/O grouping — Allows the matrix to be virtually divided into smaller

sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows
specifi c inputs and outputs, such as those designated for a specifi c purpose,
to be grouped together. I/O grouping limits the selection of inputs and
outputs to members of the same group.

Primary and redundant power supplies — Includes two internal 100 VAC

to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, auto-switchable power supplies, which provide
worldwide power compatibility.

The power supply circuitry is confi gured to automatically switch over from

the primary supply to the hot redundant supply in the case of a failure.

The hot redundant power supply means high reliability for the system and

no loss of functionality should the primary supply fail; the redundant power
supply immediately assumes the load.

Power supply status LEDs — Front panel LEDs indicate the status of the primary

and redundant power supplies.

Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly
terminated with the correct pinout. Fast Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e
or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables,
terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length 328' (100 m).

N

Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support

Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.

• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.

• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover
cable and must be properly terminated for your application (fi gure 2-11).

• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the
matrix switcher BME 0.

• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the matrix switcher BME 0 to an

PRELIMINARY

External sync (systems with MAV Plus Video BMEs)

The MAV Plus Video switcher BME switches between inputs during the vertical
interval period, resulting in glitch-free video switching. The MAV switcher can use
an external signal to synchronize switching during the vertical interval. Without
the external sync locking feature, switching between inputs can result in a brief
rolling (sync loss) or a brief change in the picture size.

Ext(ernal) Sync connector — Connect an external sync signal to this BNC

k

connection on BNC 0 for genlocking the video signal in broadcast or other
sync-critical applications.

N

In systems with multiple low resolution video BMEs (such as component video

and S-video systems), only the External Sync connector on the luminance (Y)
video plane’s BME needs to be connected to the black burst generator. This BME
should be BME 0

Figure 2-12 shows a basic external sync confi guration. The Ext Sync connector
receives the timing signal. A tee connector on the connector allows the
signal to be passed on to another video device, if required. Terminate the tee
connector if desired.

Figure 2-13 shows another confi guration, in which the timing source passes
through three video cameras and a video scan converter before connecting
to the switcher. This type of video camera can synchronize with the external
timing source for video editing applications.

If no external sync timing source is connected to the switcher, switching
occurs immediately.

The maximum distances from the matrix switcher to the controlling device can

vary up to 200

' (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' (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' (76 m) away.

This port is completely separate from the rear panel Remote port and is not

affected by changes to the rear panel port’s protocol. This front panel port’s
protocol can be changed, under SIS command control only.
