FEATURES (CONT.)
The Extron
MMX Series of Video and VGA Matrix Switchers are
economical, compact units that are effective in small installations, such
as conference rooms, classrooms, and home theatres. All models can
function as either the primary switcher or as sub-switchers in a larger
system. The intuitive front panels with tactile buttons and LED
indicators of the MMX Series enable easy control of inputs and outputs
for non-technical users. MMX matrix switchers are housed in 1U high,
™
half rack width VersaTools
enclosures.
Composite Video and S-Video with Stereo Audio Switchers
The MMX Series of composite video and S-video with stereo audio
switchers come in 4x2 and 6x2 models. Key features include genlock to
input one, which allows all signals to switch at the same vertical interval
timing for smooth, seamless transition; front panel security lockout for
environments where easy access is undesirable; quad standard
compatibility with NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM signals;
and RS-232 for control via a third party control system.
VGA-UXGA and Audio Matrix Switcher
The MMX 32 VGA A 3x2 VGA matrix switcher with audio allows users
to easily switch between three computer-video (VGA-UXGA) and stereo
audio signals using two sets of direct access buttons. Users can connect
a VGA and audio cable directly from the source to the switcher. Output
one is optimized for local or preview monitor, while output two is
optimized for connection to the main presentation display and house
sound system. The unit can be controlled through RS-232 via a third
party control system and by contact closure with tally power, which
allows the user to control both outputs from remote locations.
■ Captive screw or RCA audio connections – The MMX Series AV
and SVA matrix switcher models provide captive screw input and
output connectors for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio
signals. The RCA models feature RCA female connectors and are
compatible with unbalanced audio signals only.
■ Input audio gain and attenuation (adjustable via RS-232) –
The Extron MMX 42/62 Series allows users to set the level of audio
gain or attenuation (-18dB to +24dB). Individual input audio levels
may be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences
when switching between sources.
■ Audio breakaway – The MMX Series matrix switchers provide the
capability to break away an audio signal from its corresponding
video signal. Audio breakaway switching can be done via the front
panel or RS-232 control.
■ RS-232 control – A rear panel RS-232 control port provides
connection of the MMX Series to a third party control system.
■ Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) – Extron SIS is a set of basic ASCII
code commands that provide simple control through a third party
control system. Instead of programming in long, obscure strings of
code, SIS makes it easy to operate an Extron product using RS-232
control.
■ Rack-mountable – The MMX Series Switchers are housed in
1U, half rack width rugged metal enclosures and can be rackmounted using an optional rack shelf.
■ External international power supply – Provides worldwide
power compatibility (part # 70-055-01).
■ MMX 32 AAP and MMX 32 MAAP remote control – The
MMX 32 MAAP contains input selection buttons and LED
indicators to control an MMX 32 VGA A matrix switcher. The
MMX 32 MAAP is a single space Mini Architectural Adapter Plate
(MAAP) that can be installed in any Extron MAAP mounting
panel. The MMX 32 MAAP enables a user to remotely select an
input to route to one of the matrix switcher outputs.

FEATURES
■ 150 MHz (-3dB) bandwidth, fully loaded – Ensures switching
and distribution of most signals without degradation. The ratings
are worst case specifications, i.e., the MMX Series provide
150 MHz (-3dB) at full performance capacity — when one input
signal drives all outputs.
■ 300 MHz (-3dB) bandwidth, fully loaded (MMX 32 VGA A
only) –
Ensures switching and distribution of most signals without
degradation. The ratings are worst case specifications, i.e., the
MMX 32 VGA A provides 300 MHz (-3dB) at full performance
capacity — when one input signal drives all outputs.
■ Buffered I/O – Each input and output is individually buffered to
provide maximum performance with virtually no crosstalk.
■ View I/O mode (MMX 42 & MMX 62 only) – Allows users to
easily see which individual inputs and outputs are actively
connected. Available from the front panel or RS-232 control.
