Digital XPoint Series of digital video matrix switchers is the

Extr
ideal solution for switching multiple serial digital video signals to
multiple digital video devices in video pr
editing suites, staging events, and video broadcast studios.

There are two models available in the Digital XPoint line: a four input
by four output model (DXP 44 SDI) and a eight input by eight output
model (DXP 88 SDI). Each input has an equalized and buffered loop­through, and each output has dual buffered and re-clocked BNC
outputs.

The Digital XPoint series conforms to the SMPTE 259M specification.
These digital matrix switchers handle all composite (143 and 177
Mbps), component 4:2:2 (270 Mbps), and widescreen 16:9
(360 Mbps) serial standards. Automatic cable equalization typically
equalizes greater than 300 meters at 270 Mbps of Extron SHR or
equivalent high quality cable.

The Digital XPoint matrix switcher series is housed in a rack mountable,
1U high, 19" wide enclosure. These switchers come standard with a
front panel control and are capable of communicating with Extron’s
remote keypad (MKP 1000) and/or remote control panel (MCP 1000).
Control of the Digital XPoint series from a third party control system
can be done via RS-232 or RS-422 using Extron’s Simple Instruction Set

■ Control Software – Provides a graphical, drag-and-drop interface

for I/O configuration and other customization functions via
RS-232 and RS-422 remote control. This software also offers an
emulation mode for configuration of an offsite matrix switcher;
the I/O configuration may be saved for future downloading to the
matrix switcher.

keypads provide the flexibility to control a DXP Series matrix
switcher from a remote location.

■ Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™) – When input serial

data is locked, the matrix indicates the presence of a carrier
source.

■ Automatic rate selection – Automatically accepts four SMPTE

data rates, including 143, 177, 270, and 360 Mbps. The auto
mode is ideal for multirate serial data pr
automatically detects and locks onto the incoming data signal.

■ LCD display – Displays current input/output configuration, preset

configurations, data rate, and input carrier detect, as well as the
status of additional system features.

■ Extron’s control software – Extron has developed a Windows®-

based control software that provides the ability to control every
Extron matrix switcher. This program makes input/output
configuration and other customization functions simple and
convenient because it uses graphic icons.
