MVX Series
VGA and Stereo Audio Matrix Switchers
coMMon feAtureS
•
Inputs: VGA on female 15-pin HD connectors; audio on 3.5 mm stereo mini jacks;
MVX 128 VGA A - audio inputs on captive screw connectors
•
Outputs: Video on female 15-pin HD connectors; audio on captive screw connectors
•
300 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth, fully loaded — Designed for routing
most common high resolution computer-video rates without signal degradation. The
MVX Series provides a minimum 300 MHz (-3 dB) of RGB video bandwidth at full
performance capability when one input drives all outputs.
•
Compatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and HDTV component video
•
Switches both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio — Output on captive
screw connectors.
•
Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from its
corresponding video signal, allowing the audio and video signals from one source to be
switched to different destinations.
•
Audio output volume adjustment and muting on MVX 128, 1212, 168, and 1616
models — Can be set dynamically for each channel through the front panel, IP Link, or
serial control, eliminating the need for an audio preamplifier in many system designs.
•
Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows users to set the level of gain or
attenuation for each audio input channel, eliminating noticeable volume differences
when switching between sources.
•
RS-232 and RS-422 serial control port — Using serial commands, the
HDXP Plus Series can be controlled and configured via the included Windows-based
control software, or integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use the
SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands
that allow for quick and easy programming. The RS-232 and RS-422 port also makes it
easy to install firmware updates.
•
Switchable audio output levels — Output levels can be switched between
professional, +4dBu, and consumer levels, -10dBV. This feature is available via RS-232
serial control only and allows users to utilize a mix of professional and consumer-level
equipment.
•
View I/O mode — Available via the front panel and RS-232 serial control, users can
easily view which individual inputs and outputs are actively connected.
•
QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — Provides a discrete button for
each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.
•
Global presets — Individual I/O configurations may be saved and recalled either from
the QuickSwitch front panel or through the serial controls. This time-saving feature
allows you to set up I/O configurations and keep them in memory for future use.
•
Front panel security lockout — Ideal for unsecured environments, this feature locks
out all front panel functions; however, these same functions are available through
RS-232 serial control.
•
Optional control panels and keypads — Provide the flexibility to control a MVX Series
matrix switcher from a remote location.
316
V ga /a u d i o Ma tr i x S wi t c h er S
•
Optional IR 501 handheld infrared remote control for 4x4 through 8x8 models
•
Rack-mountable metal enclosure
•
Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal power
supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
deScriPtion
The Extron MVX Series Matrix Switchers are designed to route most common high resolution
computer-video signals with stereo audio. Available in I/O sizes from 4x4 to 16x16, including a
new 12x12 size, the MVX Series offers wideband switching performance with the convenience
of 15-pin HD connectors for all computer-video connections. MVX Series models from 4x4 to
8x8 accept unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5 mm stereo mini jacks, while the 12x8 to 16x16
sizes accept either balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw connectors. All
models output balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw connectors. Using
preterminated cable assemblies, such as Extron's VGA with Audio Cables, eliminates crimping
and makes installations faster and easier.
