CrossPoint 300 Series
Wideband Matrix Switchers with ADSP™ for RGB and Stereo Audio
coMMon feAtureS
•
Inputs: Video on female BNC connectors; audio on captive screw connectors
•
Outputs: Video on female BNC 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
CrossPoint 300 Series provides a minimum 300 MHz (-3 dB) of RGB video bandwidth at
full performance capability when one input drives all outputs.
•
Extremely flat response to 130 MHz — Switcher performance is further enhanced by
the extremely flat response in the critical portion of the bandwidth curve, between 0 and
130 MHz.
•
ADSP™ - Advanced Digital Sync Processing technology — 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.
•
Compatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, HDTV, component video, S-video, composite
video, and unbalanced/balanced stereo audio — CrossPoint 300 Series models
switch separate horizontal and vertical sync to ensure proper sync polarity, providing a
more stable image.
•
Buffered I/O — Each input and output is individually buffered to provide maximum
performance and virtually no crosstalk or signal interference between channels.
•
HVA models switch both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio
•
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.
•
Audio output volume adjustment and muting — Can be set dynamically for each
channel through the front panel or serial control, eliminating the need for an audio
preamplifier in many system designs.
•
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.
•
QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — Provides a discrete button for
each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.
•
Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use when the matrix switcher
is installed in an unsecured environment where easy access is not desirable. In lockout
mode, a special button combination is required to operate the front panel.
•
Front panel I/O buttons may be easily labeled with any Brother® P-touch
labeler or included Extron label software — Each input can be labeled with name,
alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive selection of inputs
and outputs.
•
View I/O mode — Easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected.
•
Global presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be saved and recalled either
from the front panel or serial control. This time-saving feature allows you to set up I/O
configurations and store them in memory for future use.
w id eb a n d r gb & St er e o au di o M at r ix S w it ch e r S
•
RS-232 and RS-422 serial control port — Using serial commands, the
CrossPoint 300 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.
•
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.
•
Optional remote control — Optional X/Y control
panels, bus control panels, and keypads provide the
flexibility to control a CrossPoint 300 Series matrix
switcher from a remote location.
•
Rack-mountable metal enclosure — All CrossPoint
300 Series matrix switchers are housed in 19-inch
wide metal enclosures.
•
Internal international power supply — The
100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal power supply
Optional MKP 3000
X-Y Cont rol Panel
provides worldwide power compatibility.
deScriPtion
The Extron CrossPoint 300 Series of Wideband RGBHV Matrix Switchers provide a convenient
single box solution for most common high resolution video and audio routing system designs. A
total of 15 models are available in eight I/O sizes, ranging from 4x2 to 16x16. They are ideal for
general use in a wide range of signal distribution applications, including corporate boardrooms
and training facilities, college and university settings, health care, and other high-utilization
facilities where reliable switching is required.
CrossPoint 300 Series models are available in two versions: "HV" for switching RGBHV signals
without audio, and "HVA" for switching RGBHV and balanced or unbalanced stereo audio.
Video Features
All CrossPoint 300 Series models feature a minimum of 300 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth,
fully loaded. This is a worst case specification, when one input drives all outputs. In normal
usage, video bandwidth generally exceeds the 300 MHz (-3 dB) rating. Switcher performance
is further enhanced by a remarkably flat response in the critical portion of bandwidth curve,
between 0 and 130 MHz. This underscores the switcher's consistent performance, with minimal
signal loss or gain, across the frequency spectrum.

deScriPtion (co nt inu ed)
For optimum signal reproduction, each input and output is individually isolated and buffered. Any
input can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal interference
between channels. In addition to RGBHV signals, CrossPoint 300 Series matrix switchers
are designed to accommodate the widest range of signal routing requirements, and are fully
compatible with RGBS, RGsB, HDTV, component video, S-video, and composite video signals
as well. To ensure full confidence when switching between varying computer-video sources, all
CrossPoint 300 Series matrix switchers include Extron's exclusive ADSP™ - Advanced Digital
Sync Processing.
ADSP
Extron's ADSP is an all-digital process that corrects and restores the sync signal as it passes
through the switcher. First, ADSP restores sync to TTL levels, 5.0 V p-p, ensuring that the
projector or monitor accurately locks to sync and displays a stable image. Second, ADSP
corrects the signal waveform to create sharp rising and falling edges, ensuring a more stable
and reliable image in systems with different signal sources or cable lengths. Whether signal
losses and distortion are caused by long cable runs, variations in display graphic card outputs,
or low sync levels found in many laptop computers, ADSP significantly reduces sync related
problems, improving signal compatibility with many digital display devices.

Audio Features
All CrossPoint 300 Series HVA audio-capable models feature a full range of audio input and
output adjustments. Audio input gain and attenuation may be adjusted for each channel
indi vidually, eliminating the noticeable and sometimes jarring volume differences when
switching between sources.
Audio output volume control is also provided for each individual output. Signal levels may be
adjusted from the front control panel or through serial control, providing a simple way to set
audio volume levels without an audio preamplifier.
In addition, audio breakaway provides the capability to separate the audio signal from its
corresponding video signal, allowing the audio channels to be operated as a separate matrix
switcher within the system.
Control Options
For ease-of-use in a variety of environments, all CrossPoint 300 Series matrix switchers are
equipped with a full range of control options, including front panel control, RS-232/RS-422
serial control, and several wired remote control panel options.
The QS-FP C™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller allows simp le, tou ch-of-a-but ton
selection of inputs and outputs directly from the front panel of the CrossPoint 300 switcher.
The CrossPoint 300 Ser ies can also be controlled using option al Extron con trol panels
and keypads.
