Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
complete Extron family of full-function, medium- and large-sized, analog matrix
switchers, specifically:
•CrossPoint 450 Plus ultra-wideband RGBHV and audio matrix switchers
•MAV Plus broadcast quality HDTV/component video, S-video, and
composite 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 configurations simultaneously.
The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex wideband (figure 1-1) or
low resolution (figure 1-2) 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.

Figure 1-2 — Typical MAV Plus matrix switcher application
All of the matrix switchers are available in a variety of matrix sizes (the matrix size
is the number of inputs and outputs).
CrossPoint 450 Plus series switchers offer two models of each matrix size:
•HVA for switching RGBHV video and two-channel stereo audio
•HV for switching RGBHV video signals only
MAV Plus series switchers offer multiple models of all matrix sizes, with one, two,
or three (MAV Plus 1616 and smaller) video planes, to support different low
resolution video formats (exceptions are noted in “MAV Plus switchers” on
page 1-6):
•HDA for switching component/HDTV video and two-channel stereo audio
•HD for switching component/HDTV video signals only
•SVA for switching S-video and two-channel stereo audio
VCR
•SV for switching S-video signals only
•AV for switching composite video and two-channel stereo audio
•V for switching composite video signals only
•A for switching two-channel stereo audio only
1-3CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Matrix Switchers • Introduction
Introduction, cont’d
All audio models, with the exception of the MAV Plus 128 AV RCA, input and
output audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.
The MAV Plus 128 AV RCA inputs and outputs audio on RCA connectors.
For all switchers with video and audio, 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.
Each matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet port, its
rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port, or its front panel Configuration (RS-232) port
(matrix sizes up to 1616 only). 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 either
serial link.
The Ethernet port can be connected through a local area network (LAN) or wide
area network (WAN).
The CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher features e-mail notification of
maintenance or other concerned personnel concerning the status of the power
supplies and fans and the loss or resumption of sync on individual inputs.
The Ethernet port or either serial port can be connected to a control system, a PC, or
Extron’s MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel.
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:
In this manual, the term “video model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus or
MAV Plus switcher that switches video.
In this manual, the term “audio model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus or
MAV Plus switcher that switches audio.

MAV Plus HDA and HD switchers can also route low resolution RGsB and RsGsBs
video signals. HDA and HD switchers can also route multiple composite video
planes or S-video and composite video. If used in this way, the various video
planes cannot be broken away; the input signals on the Y, R-Y, and B-Y input BNCs
must be routed to the same outputs.
MAV Plus SVA and SV switchers can also be used to switch two planes of
composite video. If used in this way, the two video planes cannot be broken away;
the input signals on the luma and chroma input BNCs must be routed to the same
outputs.
The MAV Plus Series have a bandwidth of 150 MHz (-3 dB).
Definitions
The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout
this manual:
SVASV

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 (where necessary) 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 still
accessible under serial port or Ethernet control.

Features
Video — All switchers input and output video on BNC connectors.
CrossPoint 450 Plus — These switchers input and output ultra-wideband
RGBHV or RGBS video. They can also switch RGsB, RsGsBs, component/
HDTV, S-video, or composite video.
MAV Plus — These switchers 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, these switchers can distribute low resolution RGsB, RsGsGs,
component/HDTV, S-video, or composite video.
Bandwidth —
CrossPoint 450 Plus — The CrossPoint 450 Plus Series switchers provide a
minimum of 425 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded.
MAV Plus — The MAV Plus switchers provide a minimum of 150 MHz (-3 dB)
video bandwidth, fully loaded.
Audio inputs (audio models only) —
All audio models, with the exception of the MAV Plus 128 AV RCA — Input
and output stereo audio, balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive
screw terminals.
MAV Plus 128 A V RCA — Input and output unbalanced stereo audio on left and
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, either serial port link, or the front
panel.
Audio output volume (audio models) — 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 serial port or Ethernet control.

In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations, it may be vital to
know that sources are active and switching. Extron’s DSVP confirms 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 serial ports or Ethernet
port. The frequency information can be displayed on any control system or
in a Windows
®
-based control program on a local-area network (LAN) or
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 control or under Ethernet or serial port 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
serial port remote control.
1-9CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Matrix Switchers • Introduction
Introduction, cont’d
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 the Ethernet or serial link. The serial links allow remote control via a
PC or control system. The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with
two levels of password protection.
•Front Panel Controller — The 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 (audio models). The front
panel features illuminated pushbuttons that can be labeled with text or
graphics.
•Windows-based control program — For serial port or Ethernet 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 Extron’s
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.
Upgradeablefirmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can be
upgraded in the field via either serial port or the Ethernet 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 or built-in HTML pages.
Labeling — Extron’s 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 — 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.
I/O grouping — Allows the matrix to be virtually divided into smaller
sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping limits
the selection of inputs and outputs to members of the same group.
I/O grouping allows specific outputs, such as those designated for a specific
purpose, to be grouped together.
CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Matrix Switchers • Introduction1-10
Power — The matrix switchers’ 100 VAC to 240 VAC, internal power supply(s)
provides worldwide power compatibility.
Primary and redundant power supplies —
(CrossPoint 450 Plus and MA V Plus 2412, 2424, 3216, and 3232 switchers only)
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 configured 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 —
(CrossPoint 450 Plus and MA V Plus 2412, 2424, 3216, and 3232 switchers only)
Front panel LEDs indicate the status of the primary and redundant power
supplies.

UL requirements
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the
installation of the matrix switcher into a rack (figure 2-1).
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
122 °F (50 °C) (CrossPoint 450 Plus) or 113 °F (45 °C (MAV Plus) ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by Extron.
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.
3.
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
1.Insert the switcher into the rack, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket
with those in the rack.
CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Switchers • Installation2-2
2.Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied bolts.

Video input and output (video switchers)
RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers only)
The switcher can connect to up to as many as 32 RGBHV video sources, depending
on the model. The switcher can output to as many as 32 RGBHV video devices,
depending on the model.
Use Electrostatic discharge precautions (be electrically grounded) when
making connections. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage
equipment, even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.
Remove system power before making all connections.
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 CrossPoint 450 Plus matrix sizes of 8 x 16 and larger, 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
on each video plane to the corresponding connector in the correct group (see
figure 2-11).
The CrossPoint 450 Plus 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.
Video inputs — Connect RGB video, component/HDTV video, S-video, or
1
composite video inputs, as applicable, to these BNC connectors for each input.
Figure 2-11 shows how to connect the RGB video format to each
configuration.
Video outputs — Connect RGB video, component/HDTV video, S-video, or
2
composite video displays, as applicable, or other devices to these BNC
connectors for each output. Figure 2-11 shows how to connect the RGB video
format to each configuration.

Sync termination switches (CrossPoint 450 Plus only)
Sync termination switches — The CrossPoint 450 Plus matrix switchers have
3
sync termination switches on the rear panel for inputs 1 through 8
(CrossPoint 450 Plus 2412, 2424, 3216, and 3232) or inputs 1 through 4
(CrossPoint 450 Plus 84, 88, 124, 128, 816, 168, 1212, 1616). The switches
(figure 2-15) 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.

Figure 2-15 — 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 V p-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 5V p-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.
CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Switchers • Installation2-12
Audio input and output (models with audio only)
By default, the audio ties follow the video ties. Audio breakaway, which can be
activated via the front panel or under Ethernet or serial port 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”, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”, and chapter 6, “HTML Operation” for
details.
Captive screw connector models (all except MAV Plus 128 AV RCA)
Connections for balanced and unbalanced audio inputs — Each input has a
4
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 2-16 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.
See figure 2-17 to identify the tip, ring, and sleeve when you are making
connections for the switcher from existing audio cables. A mono audio
connector consists of the tip and sleeve. A stereo audio connector consists of
the tip, ring and sleeve. The ring, tip, and sleeve wires are also shown on the
captive screw audio connector diagrams, figure 2-16 and figure 2-18.

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.
The volume level for each output can be individually set via the front panel or
Ethernet or serial port control. See chapter 3, “Operation”, chapter 4,
“Programmer’s Guide”, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”, and chapter 6, “HTML
Operation” for details.

protocol, and operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates.
See “Selecting the rear panel Remote port protocol and baud rate” in chapter 3,
“Operation”, to configure the RS-232/RS-422 port from the front panel.
If desired, connect an MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel to the
switcher’s RS-232/RS-422 connector. Refer to the “MKP 2000 Remote Control
Panel User’s Manual” or the “MKP 3000 Remote Control Panel User’s
Manual” for details.
Ethernet

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. 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).
switcher from a PC that is either running Extron’s windows-based
control program or that has downloaded HTML pages from the
switcher.
Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate
the status of the Ethernet connection. The Link LED indicates that
the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED
should light steadily. The Act LED indicates transmission of data
packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the
switcher communicates.
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 (figure 2-20).
•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.

e.
The MAV Plus switcher 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 for genlocking the video signal in broadcast or other sync-critical
applications.
Figure 2-21 shows a basic external sync configuration. 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.

This port is independent of 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. See the Command/Response
table for IP SIS commands, in chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, to configure
all ports under SIS control.
A front panel Configuration port connection and a rear panel Remote port
connection can both be active at the same time.
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.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators
The front panel controls (figure 3-1 through figure 3-3) are grouped into two sets.
The input and output buttons are grouped on the left side of the control panel. The
control buttons and video/audio (I/O) selection buttons are grouped on the right
side of the panel.
The operation of the CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers and MAV Plus switchers
is very similar. There are two exceptions:
•The video selection button is labeled “RGBHV” on the
CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers and “Video” on the MAV Plus switchers.
•The MAV Plus switchers do not offer RGB delay switching.
While the number of inputs and outputs varies depending on the size of the
matrix, there are only three front panel arrangements: 12 input buttons by 8
output buttons (figure 3-1), 16 by 16 (figure 3-2), and 32 by 32 (figure 3-3).
See the table below to identify the front panel arrangements used by each
switcher model.
On smaller matrix switchers, the larger-numbered buttons are not used for
input and output selection, although they are used to select and indicate preset
numbers, indicate the input audio level, and indicate the output audio volume.

Definitions
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.)
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 (where necessary) 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 still
accessible under serial port 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 configuration consisting of outputs in a single room
that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it
becomes the current configuration.
Input and output buttons
If the switcher has fewer inputs or outputs than input or output buttons, only
the buttons for which the switcher has an input or output perform the function
of selecting and identifying that input or output.
Input buttons — The input buttons have two primary functions (•) and five

Front Panel Operations
The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample
procedures for creating ties; changing a configuration; viewing configurations;
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 Remote port settings.
Front panel security lockouts
In the procedural descriptions that follow, it is assumed that the switcher is in Lock
mode 0 (fully unlocked). The following two Lock modes are also available:
•Lock mode 1 — All changes are locked from the front panel (except for
setting Lock mode 2). Some functions can be viewed.
•Lock mode 2 — Advanced features are locked and can be viewed only. Basic
functions are unlocked.
See “Setting the front panel locks (Executive modes)” on page 3-48 for a detailed list
of basic and advanced functions and the procedure to set the various front panel
locks.
3-9CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Switchers • Operation
Operation, cont’d
Power
Apply power by connecting the power cord to an AC source. The switcher
performs a self-test that flashes the front panel button indicators green, red, and
amber and then turns them off. (The order in which the colors are displayed
depends on the model.) 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 of the RGBHV or Video button and the Audio button is defined by the
system configuration as follows:
• Systems with audio — RGBHV/Video and Audio both lit
• Systems without audio — RGBHV/Video lit and Audio unlit
The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When
power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets
remain intact.
If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate.
If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S
Hotline.
Creating a configuration
The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. Change
the current configuration as follows:

•When you enter View-Only mode, the output buttons light for all
outputs without ties. Likewise, when an output button for which there are
no ties is pushed, the output buttons turn on for all outputs without ties.
•To see all ties of the current configuration, press and release each input
and output button, one at a time, with the RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus
switchers) or Video (MA V Plus switchers) button and the Audio button
lit.
•In View-Only mode, you can view video and audio, video-only, or audioonly ties. Pressing and releasing the RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus

I/O grouping
C
C
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 serial port or Ethernet
control.
Suggested applications for the I/O grouping feature include:
•Segregating specific video formats to prevent an input in one video format
•Segregating input and output devices that are in separate rooms.
•Isolating video from being displayed on specific output devices for
from being inadvertently applied to an output device that supports another
video format (figure 3-29).

The I/O groups can be set up on the front panel or by using serial port and
Ethernet ports and either the SIS or the Windows control program (see chapter 4,
“Programmer’s Guide”, 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.
I/O groups are protected when front panel lock mode 2 is selected. You can
view the groups in lock mode 2, but not change them from the front panel.
•Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2)
can be created under serial port or Ethernet control.
•Presets can be created under serial port 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.

Setting RGB delay (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers only)
The CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers can briefly 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 either serial port or
the Ethernet port and either the SIS, Windows control program, or HTML pages
(see chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”, and chapter 6,
“HTML operation”. Specify the RGB delay interval for a specific 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.

On models with audio, the audio level of each input can be displayed and adjusted
through a range of -18 dB to +24 dB to ensure that there is no noticeable volume
difference among sources (figure 3-56). The audio level can be adjusted from the
front panel or under serial port or Ethernet control. The default audio input level is
0 dB.
1.Press the Esc button to clear any input buttons, output buttons, or control
buttons that may be lit.
2.To enter Audio mode, press and hold the Audio button until the button begins
to blink red, then release the button.
3.Press and release an input button to select an input. The output buttons
display audio level and polarity (+ or –) for the selected input. Each lit output
button indicates 1 dB of gain or attenuation. Green output buttons indicate a
gain (+) audio level and red buttons indicate an attenuation (–) level.
4.Press and release the Esc (

the audio level.
5.Press and release the Audio button to exit the Audio mode. The Audio button
stops blinking.
•Pressing the Enter or Preset button also exits Audio mode. Pressing the
Preset button changes to Recall Preset mode.
•There is one audio level setting per input. The audio level setting is
shared by the left and right audio inputs.
•The audio level settings are stored in non-volatile memory. When power
is removed and restored, the audio level settings are retained.
•Exiting Audio mode by pressing the Audio button always returns the I/O
configuration to RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers) or video

Example 10: Viewing and adjusting an input audio level
The following steps show an example in which an audio level is viewed and
adjusted. The steps show the front panel indications that result from your action.
Audio gain and attenuation is displayed differently on different models.
•Switchers with 32 output buttons — Each output button indicates 1 dB when
lit. See the table on page 3-37.
•Switchers with 16 output buttons — Each output button indicates 1 dB when
blinking and 2 dB when lit. See the table on page 3-38.
•Switchers with 8 output buttons — Each output button indicates 1 dB when
blinking slowly, 2 dB when blinking quickly, and 3 dB when lit. See the table
on page 3-38.
Because of the different gain and attenuation display schemes, the input audio
levels that result from the following example are shown three times: as displayed
on a 32-button switcher, on a 16-button switcher, and on an 8-button switcher. The
32-button displays show the actions that led up to the display. For simplicity, the
16-button and 8-button figures show the attenuation display only, not the actions
that lead up to it.

Viewing and adjusting the output volume (audio models)
On models with audio, the audio level of each output can be displayed and
adjusted through a range of 100% (no attenuation) to 0% (maximum [76 dB]
attenuation). The audio level can be adjusted from the front panel or under
serial port or Ethernet control. The default volume is 100% (no attenuation).
Output volume is protected when front panel lock mode 2 is selected. You can
view the volume in lock mode 2, but not adjust it from the front panel.
1.Press the Esc button to clear any input buttons, output buttons, or control
buttons that may be lit.
2.To enter Audio mode, press and hold the Audio button until the button begins
to blink red, then release the button.
3.Press and release an output button to select an output. The input buttons
display the volume level for the selected output. The switchers indicate the
volume differently, depending on number of input buttons, but as a general
rule, the more buttons that are lit, the higher the volume. The fewer buttons
that are lit, the lower the volume.
For a more detailed analysis of decoding the displayed value, see “Reading
the displayed volume” on the next page.
4.Press and release the Esc (
) and View ( ) buttons to increase and decrease
the audio volume.
5.Press and release the Audio button to save the audio settings and exit the
Audio mode. The Audio button stops blinking.
•There is one audio volume level setting per output. The audio level setting
is shared by the left and right audio inputs.
•The audio volume levels are stored in non-volatile memory. When power
is removed and restored, the audio level settings are retained.
•Exiting Audio mode by pressing the Audio button always returns the I/O
buttons to RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus) or Video (MAV Plus) lit green
and Audio lit red.
•Pressing the Enter or Preset button also exits Audio mode. Pressing the
Preset button changes to Recall Preset mode.

Reading the displayed volume
There are 65 steps of volume attenuation, with 1 dB per step (button push), except
for 0-to-1, which is 13 dB. At maximum attenuation, no input buttons are lit, 76 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 specific input using the
input audio level adjustment. See “Viewing and adjusting the input audio level
(audio models)”. Other than the minimum and maximum volume, the switchers
indicate the volume differently, depending on number (12, 16, or 32) of input
buttons. See the table on the next page to read the volume display for each display
scheme.
For each display scheme, the input buttons blink or light sequentially to indicate
the approximate volume of the selected output. Volume is defined as a percentage
of the input audio signal that is applied to the output. From 0% of volume, the first
Esc (
) button push applies 5.5% of the input audio signal. From 5.5% on, each
Esc ( ) push applies 1.5% more of the input audio signal to the output:
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.
•Push Esc (

When all input buttons are lit for any switcher model, 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).
•At minimum volume, all input buttons are unlit or background illuminated
and 76 dB of attenuation is applied to the output. The audio output is
effectively muted.
•The first step of volume increase causes the Input 1 button to blink (slowly, in
the case of switchers with 12 input buttons). Attenuation is reduced by 13 dB
(63 dB of attenuation is applied to the output).
•The second step of volume increase reduces the attenuation by an additional
1 dB (62 dB of attenuation is applied to the output). (On switchers with 32
input buttons the Input 1 button lights steadily.)
•Successive steps of volume increase cause consecutive buttons to first blink,
then light steadily. (On switchers with 32 input buttons, each consecutive
button indicates a 1 dB attenuation reduction when blinking and a 2 dB
attenuation reduction when lit.)
For example: When lit steadily, the Input 3 button indicates the following,
depending on the number of input buttons the switcher has:
Switchers with 12 input buttons — 47 dB of attenuation when compared
Switchers with 16 input buttons — 52 dB of attenuation when compared
Switchers with 32 input buttons — 58 dB of attenuation when compared
to the Input 3 button blinking quickly (48 dB to 50 dB of attenuation).
The blinking Input 4 button (45 dB to 46 dB of attenuation) is at least 2 dB
less than the fast blinking Input 3 button (48 dB – 46 dB) and at most 5 dB
less (50 dB – 45 dB).
to the Input 3 button blinking (53 dB to 55 dB of attenuation). The
blinking Input 4 button (49 dB to 51 dB of attenuation) is at least 2 dB less
than the fast blinking Input 3 button (53 dB – 51 dB) and at most and at
most 6 dB less (55 dB – 49 dB).
to the Input 3 button blinking (59 dB of attenuation). The blinking Input
4 button (57 dB of attenuation) is 2 dB less than the steadily-lit Input 2
button (59 dB - 57 dB).
•On switcher with 32 input buttons, the buttons’ volume indications are
additive.
For example: Input 1 lit (23 dB [22 dB + 1 dB] of attenuation reduction), Input
2 lit (2 dB [1 dB + 1 dB] of attenuation reduction), and Input 3 blinking (1 dB
of attenuation reduction) indicate that the output attenuation has been
reduced by a total of 25 dB (22 dB + 2 dB + 1 dB = 25 dB).
•At full volume, no attenuation is applied to the output and all input buttons
are lit steadily.
See the table on page 3-43 to read the volume display.

Optimizing the Audio (Audio Switchers)
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
connections (audio models only)”, 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 ties”, 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 (audio models)”, 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 (audio models)”, in this chapter).

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 switchers only)
Extron has encountered a problem when a CrossPoint 450 Plus switcher 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 fine. 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.

Configuration Worksheets
Rather than trying to remember the configuration for each preset, use worksheets
to record this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on page 3-61
(32-input button and -output button switchers) and page 3-63 (16-button switchers)
and use one for each preset configuration. The worksheet accommodates all of the
CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus models. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs
and outputs. Use different colors for video and audio.
Worksheet example 1: System equipment
Figure 3-84 shows a worksheet for a CrossPoint 450 Plus 2424 HVA in a fictional
organization with the system hardware annotated. Inputs 10, 11, and 21 through 24
have no connections in this organization, so they have been crossed out on the
worksheet. A CrossPoint 450 Plus 2424 does not have inputs 25 through 32, so they
are crossed out. Similarly, outputs 7, 14, 15, 16, and 25 through 32 are crossed out.
Inputs include PCs, an audio CD player, cameras, and an Extron VTG 300. Output
devices include monitors, front and rear projectors, a stereo, and a VCR for
recording presentations.
The Extron VTG 300 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.
