Description

The switchers are compatible with NTSC 3.38 and 4.43, PAL, and SECAM video, and feature a 150MHz bandwidth at -3dB, fully loaded. When external sync is applied (to Input 1), video switching occurs during the vertical interval, providing glitchfree switching when all sources are genlocked.

All models feature front panel controls as well as an RS-232 connector (3-pin captive screw) to permit external remote control.

The MMX 42 switchers distribute any of four video and/or audio inputs to either or both outputs. The MMX 62 switchers distribute any of six video and/or audio inputs to either or both outputs. Any input can be switched to either or both outputs. The RCA models route unbalanced stereo audio and the AV and SVA models route balanced or unbalanced stereo audio. The audio switching can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable audio gain and attenuation (available via RS-232 control) compensates for level differences between audio inputs.

Figure 1-1 — Typical MMX 62 switcher application

These half-rack width switchers are part of the VersaTools™ line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers, and video accessories. They can be mounted to a VersaTools 19” 1U rack shelf (Extron part #60-190-20) or on a standard Universal Extron rack shelf (Extron part #60-190-01). They can also be mounted under a desk or podium, using an under-desk mounting kit (Extron part #70-212-01). The units ship with external, desktop 12VDC power supplies, which accept 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz input.

Features

Composite video (AV) models

Inputs — Composite video switchers accept up to four (MMX

42) or six (MMX 62) composite video inputs on BNC female connectors.

Outputs — Two composite video signals are output on BNC

female connectors.

S-video (SV) models

Inputs — S-video switchers accept up to four S-video inputs

(MMX 42) or six S-video inputs (MMX 62) on 4-pin mini DIN connectors.

Outputs — Two S-video signals are output on 4-pin mini DIN

connectors.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

Figure 3-1 shows the controls and indicators on the front panel of the MMX 62 compact matrix switcher.

Figure 3-1 — Front panel controls and indicators (MMX 62 shown)

Outputs button — The Outputs button toggles between output

1 and output 2.

Output LEDs — The Output LEDs indicate the selected output.

When an output is muted (audio and/or video) the input LED for the muted output will be off (audio and/or video).

Input buttons and LEDs — The input buttons (1 through 4 on

the MMX 42 and 1 through 6 on the MMX 62) select an input for output. The input LEDs indicate the selected input. When the audio or video is muted, the input LEDs will be off for the signal that is muted.

Video and/or audio selection — When pressed and released,

the Config button cycles through video and audio, audio only, and video only selected for configuration.

The Video and Audio LEDs indicate whether video, audio, or both are selected for display and/or selection. If audio is broken away and video and audio are selected for display, the Audio LED blinks.

INPUTS

3. Press and release the button for the desired input. The LED for the selected input lights.

If audio and video are tied from different inputs (audio breakaway), and if you select video and audio for display, the Video LED and the LED for the selected video input light steadily and the Audio LED and the LED for the selected audio input blink .

A tie can also be created by an RS-232 device (see chapter 4,

Remote Control).

If an output is muted via RS-232, pressing any input button will unmute the output.

Memory

Audio settings are saved in nonvolatile memory. When the switcher is powered off, the settings are retained. When the switcher is powered on again, the switcher recalls the connections made prior to power down and the saved settings are active. On initial power on, the switcher defaults to input 1 tied to output 1 and input 2 tied to output 2.

Executive Mode

When executive mode is on it locks all front panel functions. To toggle the executive mode on or off, press and hold the Output and Config buttons for more than 3 seconds. All LEDs will flash to indicate that the command has been accepted.

Front Panel Operations

Plug in all system components and turn on the input devices (such as DVD players, VCRs, and DSS receivers) and the output devices. Set the input devices to output video using each device’s own operating instructions.

Creating ties

A Tie is an input-to-output connection. An input can be tied to both outputs. (An output can never be tied to more than one input.)

MMX 42/62 Series Matrix Switchers • Operation

Genlock Sync

When switching between inputs, the resulting image change should be seamless and clean. The MMX switchers reference the external sync signal on input #1 to synchronize switching during the vertical interval. This allows vertical interval switching between genlocked sources. 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.

System Reset

To reset the unit to factory defaults, press and hold the Config button while power is applied. This resets the audio input settings to unity (0dB) and connects input 1 to outputs 1 and 2, audio and video. The audio and video Config LEDs are lit.

Troubleshooting — If no image appears

1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The switcher is receiving power if the Power LED is lit.

2. Ensure an active input and output are selected on the MMX switcher.

3. Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.

4. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.

Simple Instruction Set Control

Host-to-interface communications

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the switcher executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the switcher to the host end 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.

version number. Outy Inn All identifies the currently selected ties, where y is the output number, n is the input number, and All is both video and audio (the power-up default is video and audio output 1 tied to input 1 and video and audio output 2 tied to input 2). The switcher also sends the

Outy Inn message

whenever the selected input is changed using the front panel buttons.

Reconfig The switcher initiates this message when there is a change in the audio gain setting for any input.

Error responses

When the switcher receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to execute the command because the

—

command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 - Invalid input channel number (out of range)

E10 - Invalid command

E12 Invalid output number (out of range)

E13 - Invalid parameter

Timeout

Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.

Using the command/response table

The command/response table is on the next page. Lower case letters are allowed in the command field only as indicated. Symbols are used throughout the table to represent variables in the command/response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table. The ASCII to HEX conversion table is for use with the command/response table.

Switcher-initiated messages

When a local event, such as a front panel operation or error condition, occurs, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below:

3. The Extron Universal Switcher Control Program window (figure 4-3) displays the selected inputs for each output and the audio gain for the selected audio inputs.

Figure 4-3 — Universal Switcher Control Program window

Input selection

Switching is accomplished from within the Universal Switcher Control Program by selecting which input to tie to one or both outputs (see figure 4-3). The top row of inputs is available for output 1 and the bottom row of inputs is available for output 2. The same input can be routed to both outputs, but an output can only be tied to a single input.

To tie an input to an output:

1. On the Universal Switcher Control Program main window, click on the numbered input button you want to tie to each output. Checkboxes control whether the switcher selects video, audio, or both (system default is both video and audio) and indicators (green for video and/or blue for audio) will light to indicate your selection.

2. To switch the audio signal independently from the video signal (audio breakaway) click the Video or Audio checkbox as desired (the default is both boxes on).

Input selection from the switcher’s front panel will cause the program to “light” the associated indicators in the program to reflect the change.

Muting the audio signals

To mute one or both of the switcher’s outputs:

1. Click on the MUTE button for the selected output(s) on the Universal Switcher Control Program main window (figure 4-3). An associated orange indicator will “light” to indicate that the audio and/or video output is muted.

2. To unmute the audio signal, click the MUTE button again to uncheck the audio mute for the selected output.

The MUTE function is not available from the switcher’s front panel and can only be achieved through RS-232 control. When muted, the LED’s for the muted inputs on the front panel will be off.

Setting audio levels

The box between the video and audio checkboxes displays the audio gain (or attenuation) setting for the currently selected audio input.

To set or changes the levels for audio inputs:

1. From the Universal Switcher Control Program main window (figure 4-3) click on Configure.

2. From the drop-down menu, select Audio Inputs to display the Configure Audio Options window (see figure 4-4).

Figure 4-4 — Configure Audio Option window

3. Move the slider up (increase gain), or down (decrease gain) for selected audio input. Use the ALL slider control to change all input settings simultaneously. Settings are changed in 1 dB increments between -18 dB and +24 dB, and affect both left and right channels equally.

4. Click the Take button (in Verify mode) to make the entered changes effective.

The Changes: Immediate or Changes: Verify buttons control how the audio configuration changes are applied to the switcher. In Immediate mode, every change (including each audio gain step) is instantly written to the unit. In Verify mode, the changes made on screen are not applied until you click the Take button (which is enabled when verify mode is chosen) and may be cancelled at any time before pressing Take.

5. Click on the Close button to close the Audio Configuration window. If there is an audio configuration change pending, the Close button changes to a Cancel Chgs button. Clicking it as Cancel Chgs restores the screen to the current switcher audio configuration (cancelling the pending changes).

6. To set the switcher’s audio configuration back to factory defaults, click on the Use Defaults button.

Executive mode

If the switcher is installed in an accessible area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, a security lockout feature called Executive mode can be implemented. When Executive mode is enabled, the front panel is locked and either an RS-232 command or front panel command (press and hold the Output and Config buttons for 3 seconds) is required to unlock the front panel before it can be operated.

To enable/disable Executive mode:

1. From the Universal Switcher Control Program main window (figure 4-3) click Configure.

2. From the drop-down menu, select Executive Mode to enable Executive mode and display the Executive mode window (see figure 4-5).

3. Click an input to select both video and audio input for each output. Breakaway can only be achieved by clicking the Video/Audio checkboxes from the Normal mode.

4. To exit the program while in Executive mode, click the Exit button.

5. To disable Executive mode, access the Universal Switcher Control Program and click on the Normal button. The Universal Switcher Control Program normal window (figure 4-3) is displayed and Normal mode is enabled.

Updating the firmware

It is also possible to update the firmware in your MMX Matrix Switcher from the Universal Switcher Control Program. Firmware files can be obtained on the Extron Web site (www.extron.com) or by contacting the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

When you receive and save the updated firmware file, be sure to remember where you save it. You will be asked to load the file as part of this procedure.
