Quick Start — CrossPoint 450 Plus

and MAV Plus Switchers

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.

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

BME 0 is the controlling unit. All control

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

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)

Page 13

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

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.

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

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 the Ethernet link, RS-232/RS-422 link, or the front panel.

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.

Page 17

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.

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.

Mounting the Switcher

The matrix switcher BMEs are housed in rack-mountable, 6U (sync and video BMEs) or 7U (audio BMEs) high metal enclosures with 19" rack ears. If desired, rack mount the switcher BME as follows:

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

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

Rear Panel Views

All connectors for all switcher BMEs are on the rear panel. Figure 2-1 shows a CrossPoint 450 Plus 6464 Sync BME, which has a feature set similar to all of the features of all of the video and sync switcher BMEs with the following exceptions:

• The Sync Termination DIP switches (c) are found on the sync BME only.

• The External Sync BNC connection (

Sync termination switches (systems with sync BMEs)

Sync termination switches — The CrossPoint 450 Plus Sync

matrix switcher BMEs have sync termination switches on the rear panel for inputs 1 through 16. 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).

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 V p-p. The normal position is 510 ohms.

Audio input and output (systems wtih audio BMEs)

By default, the audio ties follow the video ties. Audio breakaway, which can be activated via the optional front panel or under Ethernet or 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, SIS Programming and Control, chapter 5, Matrix Software, and chapter 6, HTML Operation for details.

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).

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 Ethernet LAN.

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

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

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

Operation

The operation of the CrossPoint 450 Plus switcher BMEs and MAV Plus

switcher BMEs is very similar. There are two exceptions:

• The video selection button is labeled “RGBHV” on the CrossPoint 450 Plus

switcher BMEs and “Video” on the MAV Plus switcher BMEs. Throughout this manual, the terms “RGBHV button” and “Video button” can be used interchangeably.

• The MAV Plus switcher BMEs do not offer RGB delay switching.

Some models are equipped with an integrated Quick Switch-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.

N N

The BME with the operational front panel controller should be BME 0.

Multiple QS-FPCs are unnecessary and potentially confusing. An S-video

or component video system has has multiple QS-FPCs by default. To avoid confusion, Extron recommends that you lock the redundant QS-FPCs. See Locking out the front panel (Executive mode) on page 3-40.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

The QS-FPC front panel controls (ﬁ gure 3-1) are grouped into two sets. The input and output buttons are grouped on the left side of the panel. The control buttons and video/audio (I/O) selection buttons are grouped on the right side of the panel.

PRELIMINARY

While the number of inputs and outputs varies depending on the size of the

matrix, all of the switchers in this family have the same 64 input buttons by 64 output buttons front panel arrangement (ﬁ gure 3-1).

On switchers with a smaller matrix size, the higher-numbered buttons do not select inputs and outputs, although they are used to select and indicate preset numbers, indicate the input audio level, and indicate the output audio volume.

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

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.

PRELIMINARY

Input and output buttons

If the switcher has fewer inputs or outputs than input or output buttons, only

QS-FPC Front Panel Operations

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample procedures for creating ties; changing a conﬁ guration; viewing conﬁ gurations; saving and recalling a preset; muting and unmuting outputs, viewing and adjusting the audio level; viewing and adjusting the output volume; locking out the front panel; performing one of several resets; toggling background illumination on and off; and reading and setting the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 Remote port settings.

Power

Apply power by connecting the power cord to an AC source. The switcher performs a self-test that ﬂ ashes the front panel button indicators (if so equipped) green, red, and amber and then turns them off. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all I/O and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination. The lit/unlit status RGBHV or Video button and the Audio button is deﬁ ned by the system conﬁ guration.

• Systems with audio — RGBHV/Video and Audio both lit

• Systems without audio — RGBHV/Video lit and Audio unlit

The current conﬁ guration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is applied, the most recent conﬁ guration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact. BME 0, upon power up, issues a map refresh command to all slave BMEs to restore the current conﬁ guration.

If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate. Call the Extron S

Because BME 0 maps the slave BMEs upon power up, either all BMEs should be

powered up simultaneously or BME 0 should be the last BME turned on. Also, if any slave BME loses power, you need to issue any front panel command or simply cycle BME 0’s power to restore the current conﬁ guration.

Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

Creating a conﬁ guration

Change the current conﬁ guration using the front panel buttons as follows:

1. Press the Esc button to clear any input button indicators, output button indicators, or control button indicators that may be lit.

2. Select to conﬁ gure video, audio, or both by pressing the RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers) or Video (MAV Plus video switchers) button and/or Audio button.

3. Select the desired input and output(s) by pressing the input and output buttons.

 Input buttons and output buttons light or blink amber to indicate video

and audio ties, green to indicate video only ties, and red to indicate audio only ties.

 To indicate potential ties, output buttons blink the appropriate color

when an input is selected.

 To indicate current ties, output buttons light steadily the appropriate

color when an input is selected.

 To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated lit output

buttons. To indicate potential unties, output buttons blink the appropriate color when an output is deselected but not untied from the input.

4. Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create additional ties.

N • Only one video input and one audio input can be tied to an output.

Example 1: Creating a set of video and audio ties

In the following example, input 5 is tied to outputs 3, 4, and 8. The steps show the front panel indications that result from your actions.

• If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output was

previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.

• If an input with no tie is selected, only that input’s button lights.

• When the RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers) or Video (MAV Plus

video switchers) button and Audio button are lit, if an input with an audio tie but no video tie is selected, the input’s button lights amber and the output button lights the appropriate color (amber, green, or red).

• As each input and output is selected, the associated output button blinks the

appropriate color to indicate a tentative tie. Buttons for output(s) that were already tied to the input light the appropriate color steadily. Outputs that are already tied can be left on, along with new blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the associated output button.

• If you press the input button for an I/O grouped input and then try to

select an output in a different group, the associated output button cannot be selected. The associated input button remains lit.

I/O grouping

I/O grouping is a matrix switcher feature that allows you to subdivide the front panel control of the matrix into four smaller functional sub-switchers and limit tie creation from the front panel only. Inputs and outputs can be assigned to one of four groups or not assigned to any group.

Inputs and outputs that are assigned to a group can only be tied to other outputs and inputs within the same group when you are creating ties on the front panel. For example, a front panel operator cannot tie an input that is assigned to group 1 to an output that is assigned to group 2. Ungrouped inputs and outputs can be switched to outputs and inputs in any group. Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2) can be created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.

Suggested applications for the I/O grouping feature include:

• Segregating speciﬁ c video formats to prevent an input in one video format

from being inadvertently applied to an output device that supports another video format (ﬁ gure 3-28).

• Segregating input and output devices that are in separate rooms.

• Isolating video from being displayed on speciﬁ c output devices for

operational security reasons.

The I/O groups can be set up on the front panel or by using RS-232/RS-422 and Ethernet ports and either the SIS or the Windows control program (see chapter 4, SIS Programming and Control, and chapter 5, Matrix Software. Create I/O groups on the front panel as follows:

1. Press the Esc button to clear any input buttons, output buttons, or control buttons that may be lit.

2. To enter I/O Group mode, press and hold the Input 1 and Output 1 buttons until the input and output buttons light to display the ungrouped inputs and outputs.

3. Press and release one of the Control buttons to select a group:

• Press the Enter button to select group 1.

• Press the Preset button to select group 2.

• Press the View button to select group 3.

• Press the Esc button to select group 4.

4. Select the desired input(s) and output(s) to assign to the group by pressing the

input and output buttons.

5. Press and release the RGBHV/Video and Audio button to exit the I/O Group mode, or allow the mode to time out after approximately 30 seconds.

N • Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2) can

be created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.

• Presets can be created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control that tie inputs and outputs across group boundaries. These presets are selectable from the front panel.

• An input or output can be assigned to only one group. If you assign an input or output to a group and that input or output is already assigned to a different group, the older grouping is discarded in favor of the new grouping.

• Audio can be broken away from the video for a given input or output (assigned to different groups) by isolating only video or only audio using the front panel RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus)/Video (MAV Plus) and/or Audio buttons after you select I/O Group mode (between steps 2 and 3).

Audio breakaway across different groups can be confusing when operating

the front panel; is not displayed by the Matrix Switchers Control Program, HTML pages, or SIS commands; and is not recommended.

• For I/O groups to have any function, at least two groups must be created.

Setting RGB delay (systems with wideband 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™ or video mute switching, is user selectable from 0 to 5 seconds, in half-second increments.

The RGB delay interval can be set on the front panel or by using RS-232/RS-422 and Ethernet ports and either the SIS, Windows control program, or HTML pages (see chapter 4, SIS Programming and Control, chapter 5, Matrix Software, and chapter 6, HTML operation. Specify the RGB delay interval for a speciﬁ c output on the front panel as follows:

1. Press the Esc button to clear any input buttons, output buttons, or control buttons that may be lit.

2. To enter RGB Delay mode, press and hold the RGBHV button until the button begins to blink green, then release the button.

3. Press and release an output button to select an output.

Reading the displayed volume

There are a maximum of 98 dB of volume attenuation available, that is adjustable in steps of 0.5 dB, except for the ﬁ rst step from full attenuation, which is 34.5 dB. At maximum attenuation, no input buttons are lit, 98 dB of attenuation is applied, and the audio output is effectively muted. At no attenuation, all input buttons are lit and the output volume is equal to the input signal plus any gain or attenuation that is applied to that speciﬁ c input using the input audio level adjustment. See Viewing and adjusting the input audio level (systems with audio BMEs). See the table on the next page to read the volume display for each display scheme.

The input buttons light sequentially to indicate the approximate volume of the selected output. Volume is deﬁ ned as a percentage of the input audio signal that is applied to the output. From 0% of volume, the ﬁ rst Esc (

4.75% of the input audio signal and the Input 1 button ﬂ ashes. From 4.75% on, each push of the Esc (>) button applies 0.75% more of the input audio signal to the output and the number of output buttons ﬂ ashing or lit increases:

• Push Esc (>) button — 4.75% + 0.75% = 5.5% volume, indicated by the Input 1 button lit steadily.

• Push Esc (

7.75% volume, indicated by the Input 1 and Input 2 buttons lit steadily and the Input 3 button ﬂ ashing.

• Push Esc ( volume, indicated by the Input 1 through Input 12 buttons lit steadily.

When all input buttons are lit, the audio output is 100% of the audio input level.

Another way to view the volume level is to think in terms of the attenuation that is applied to the output. Attenuation reduction is indicated by the lit or blinking input buttons: when fewer input buttons are lit, attenuation is greater (and the volume is quieter).

This section is a detailed look at reading the output volume display on the

switcher’s front panel. If you do not need to read the exact value of the volume setting, skip this section.

) button nineteen more times — 7.75% + (19•0.75%) = 22%

3-36

• At minimum volume, all input buttons are unlit or background illuminated and 98 dB of attenuation is applied to the output. The audio output is effectively muted.

• The ﬁ rst step of volume increase causes the Input 1 button to ﬂ ash. Attenuation is reduced by 34.5 dB (63.5 dB of attenuation is applied to the output).

• The second step of volume increase reduces the attenuation by an additional

0.5 dB (62.5 dB of attenuation is applied to the output). (The Input 1 button lights steadily.)

• Successive steps of volume increase cause consecutive buttons to ﬂ ash and then light. Each consecutive lit button indicates a full 1 dB of attenuation reduction.

• The buttons’ volume indications are additive. For example: Input 1 lit ([34.5 dB + 0.5 dB] of attenuation reduction) and Input 2 lit [0.5 dB + 0.5 dB] of attenuation reduction) indicate that the output attenuation has been reduced by a total of 36 dB: (34.5 dB + 0.5 dB + 0.5 dB +0.5 dB = 36 dB).

• At full volume, no attenuation is applied to the output and all input buttons are lit steadily.

Optimizing the Audio (Systems with Audio BMEs)

Each individual input audio level can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to +24 dB, so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. Adjust the audio gain and attenuation as follows:

1. Connect audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the audio outputs to

output devices such as audio players. See Audio input and output (systems with audio BMEs), in chapter 2, Installation. For best results, wire all of the inputs and the outputs balanced.

2. Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.

3. Switch among the inputs (see Creating a conﬁ guration, in this chapter), listening

to the audio with a critical ear or measuring the output audio level with test equipment, such as a VU meter.

4. As necessary, adjust the input audio level of each input (see Viewing and adjusting the input audio level (systems with audio BMEs), in this chapter) so that

the approximate output level is the same for all selected inputs.

5. As necessary, adjust the output audio level of each input (see Viewing and adjusting the output volume (systems with audio BMEs), in this chapter).

Troubleshooting

This section gives recommendations on what to do if you have problems operating the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher, and it describes an actual image problem that Extron has encountered.

General checks

1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The switcher is receiving power if one of the front panel Power Supply LEDs is lit green.

2. Check to see if one or more outputs are muted.

3. Ensure an active input is selected for output on the switcher.

4. Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.

5. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.

6. Call the Extron S

Plasma display S-video problem (CrossPoint 450 Plus wideband BMEs only)

Extron has encountered a problem when a CrossPoint 450 Plus wideband switcher BME routes S-video that is output by some video conference codecs. Some codecs change the DC offset on the chrominance (C) so that it is very different from the level on the luminance (Y). This can cause a plasma display to come up in the wrong size mode.

With the matrix switcher taken out of the system, the plasma works ﬁ ne. It looks like a problem with the matrix switcher, but it is not. The matrix switcher boosts the bad codec output, which makes the plasma go to the wrong setting.

Solution: Try placing an Extron video DC block adapter, part #26-495-01, on the luminance (Y) input to the switcher from the codec.

Sales & Technical Support Hotline if necessary.

Rather than trying to remember the conﬁ guration for each preset, use worksheets to record this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on page 3-51 and use one for each preset conﬁ guration. The worksheet accommodates all of the matrix sizes available with the CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus models documented in this manual. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and outputs. Use different colors for video and audio.

Worksheet example 1: System equipment

Figure 3-72 shows a worksheet for a 48-input by 32-output system in a ﬁ ctional organization with the system hardware annotated. Inputs 10, 11, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 through 48 have no connections in this organization, so they have been crossed out on the worksheet. Inputs 49 through 64 do not exist on this model, so they are crossed out. Similarly, outputs 7, 14, 15, 16, and 33 through 64 are crossed out.

Inputs include PCs, an audio CD player, cameras, and an Extron VTG 450. Output devices include monitors, front and rear projectors, a stereo, and a VCR for recording presentations.

The Extron VTG 450 video test generator connected to input 12 enables a video test pattern to be sent to one, several, or all output devices for problem isolation or adjustment purposes. An audio test tape or CD could be used in a similar manner to check out the audio components.

Worksheet example 2: Daily conﬁ guration

Figure 3-73 continues from worksheet example 1 by showing the video and audio ties that make up the conﬁ guration of preset 1. A solid ink line shows video ties and a dashed pencil line shows the audio ties.

PRELIMINARY

Large matrix sizes can become very complex. Extron suggests using various

colors of ink and/or pencil and careful routing of drawn lines for ease of tracking connection lines.

In this example:

• The image of the presenter, from the main podium camera (input 1), is

displayed:

 In the main hall (output 1)

 In the conference room (output 4) to the overﬂ ow crowd

 In the lobby (output 8)

 Tied to the VCR (output 6)

• The presenter has a presentation on her laptop computer (input 4) that is scan

converted and displayed:

 In the main hall (output 2)

 Locally on the podium (output 3)

• The audio from her microphone (input 3) is played:

 In the hall (output 1)

 In the conference room (output 4)

 Sent to the VCR (output 6)

• Classical music from the CD player (input 5) is played:

 In the background in the main hall on sound system #2 (output 5)

 In the lobby (output 8)

RS-232 and RS-422 Links

The switcher has two serial ports that can be connected to a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility, an RS-232 capable PDA, or a control system. These ports make serial control of the switcher possible. The two serial ports are:

• The rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port, a 9-pin D female connector

• The front panel Conﬁ guration (RS-232) port, a 2.5 mm mini stereo jack

The default protocol for both ports is as follows:

• 9600 baud • no parity • 8-bit

• 1 stop bit • no ﬂ ow control

Rear panel Remote port

The rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port (ﬁ gure 4-1) can be conﬁ gured for either RS-232 or RS-422. The port can operate at the 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rate.

PRELIMINARY

The rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port can be conﬁ gured from the front

panel or using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands. See Selecting the rear panel Remote port protocol and baud rate in chapter 3, Operation, to conﬁ gure the port from the front panel. See the Set serial port parameters command on page 4-21 to conﬁ gure the port using an SIS command.

Front panel Conﬁ guration port

The front panel Conﬁ guration port is hard conﬁ gured as RS-232 only. The port can operate at the 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rate, but Extron recommends leaving this port at 9600 baud only.

The front panel Conﬁ guration port can be conﬁ gured using SIS commands only.

See the Set serial port parameters command on page 4-21 to conﬁ gure the port using an SIS command.

The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm stereo mini TRS RS-232 cable, part #70-335-01 (ﬁ gure 4-2) can be used for connection to the Conﬁ guration port.

Ethernet Link

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN.

Ethernet connection

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 4-3).

• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the

CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher.

• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus

switcher to an Ethernet LAN.

Default IP addresses

To access the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher via the Ethernet port, you will need the Extron IP address, and may need the subnet mask and the gateway address. If the IP address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, the actual numeric IP address can be determined using the ping (ICMP) utility (see appendix A, Ethernet Connection, for more details). If the addresses have not been changed, the factory-speciﬁ ed defaults are:

• IP address 192.168.254.254 • Subnet mask 255.255.0.0

• Gateway address 0.0.0.0

Host-to-Switcher Instructions

The switcher accepts SIS commands through the RS-232/RS-422 port and Ethernet port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command ﬁ eld. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Switcher-Initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below (underlined).

date/time

The switcher initiates the copyright message when it is ﬁ rst powered on or when connection via Internet protocol (IP) is established. “Vx.xx“ is the ﬁ rmware version number. “nn-nnn-nn“ is the BME’s part number. “date/time“ is the date and time of the connection and is only reported when the connection is made via the IP port.

]

The switcher initiates the password message immediately after the copyright message when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet and the switcher is password protected. This message means that the switcher requires an administrator or user level password before it will perform the commands entered via this link. The switcher repeats the password message response for every entry other than a valid password until a valid password is entered.

] ]

The switcher initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user password has been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same, the switcher defaults to administrator privileges.

Qik

The switcher initiates the Qik message when a front panel switching operation has occurred.

Sprnn

The switcher initiates the Spr message when a memory preset has been saved from the front panel. “nn” is the preset number.

Rprnn

The switcher initiates the Rpr message when a memory preset has been recalled from the front panel. “nn” is the preset number.

Innn Audxx

The switcher initiates the Aud message when a front panel input audio level change has occurred. “nn” is the input number and “xx” is the dB level.

Outnn Volxx

The switcher initiates the Vol message when a front panel output audio volume change has occurred. “nn” is the output number and “xx” is the volume level.

Switcher Error Responses

When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large) E10 — Invalid command E11 — Invalid preset number E12 — Invalid output number (too large) E13 — Invalid value (out of range) E14 — Illegal command for this conﬁ guration E17 — Timeout (caused only by direct write of global presets) E21 — Invalid room number E24 — Privilege violation (Ethernet, Extron software only)

These responses should then be compared to a list of the outputs assigned to the speciﬁ ed room to determine the ties in

the room preset.

For ease of understanding the starting output number should always be “1”.

The response to the View ﬁ le directory command differs, depending on whether the command is sent via an

RS-232/RS-422 or Telnet connection or sent via a Web browser connection.
