DESCRIPTION
FEATURES (Cont.)
The Extron MVX Series Matrix Switchers are designed to route VGAUXGA 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 pre-terminated cable assemblies, such as Extron’s
VGA with Audio Cables, eliminates crimping and makes installations
faster and easier.
All MVX Series models are equipped with a full range of control
capabilities, including a standard QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front
Panel Controller, which provides a discrete button for each input and
output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation. In addition, all models
are equipped with RS-232 serial control utilizing Extron’s
™
– Simple Instruction Set command protocol. They can be
SIS
remotely controlled with the optional Extron MKP 2000 or MKP 3000
X-Y remote control panels, or via a third party control system. An
optional handheld IR remote control is also available for 4x4 and
8x8 models.
FEATURES

between +4 dBu professional and -10 dBv consumer levels, allowing
a mix of professional- and consumer-level audio equipment.

can be output as a balanced or unbalanced signal.
switching to a new source. The new sync signals precede the RGB
signals, so there is no glitch shown during the transition. The time
delay between the RGB and sync signals is adjustable up to
five seconds.
n 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.
n
Compatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and HDTV component video
n Audio breakaway – Provides the capability to break an audio
signal away from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio
channels to be operated as a separate matrix switcher.
n View I/O mode – Allows users to easily view which individual
inputs and outputs are actively connected.
n QS-FPC - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller – Provides a
discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple,
intuitive operation.
n 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.
n 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.
n RS-232 control port – Using serial commands, the MVX 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 port also makes it easy to
install firmware updates.
n Optional IR 501 handheld IR remote control –
control from up to 30 feet (9 meters) away.

UNIQUE FEATURES FOR 12X8 TO 16X16 MODELS
n ADSP™ - Advanced Digital Sync Processing – An exclusive,
all-digital process that regenerates the sync signal waveform
and restores incoming sync level to 5.0 V p-p specifications. This
ensures a stable image for improved signal compatibility with any
LCD, DLP, plasma, or other digital display device.
n Front panel I/O label windows –
with names, alphanumeric characters, or bitmap icons for easy and
intuitive input and output selection.
n Balanced and unbalanced stereo audio –
and unbalanced stereo audio signals on captive screw connectors.
n Audio output volume control – Can be set dynamically for each
channel through the front panel or serial control, eliminating the
need for audio preamplifiers in many system designs.
