Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the complete Extron family of full-function, medium- and large-sized, analog matrix switchers, specifically:

• CrossPoint 450 Plus ultra-wideband RGBHV and audio matrix switchers

• MAV Plus broadcast quality HDTV/component video, S-video, and composite video and audio matrix switchers

About the Matrix Switchers

Matrix switchers distribute any input to any combination of outputs. The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.

The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex wideband (figure 1-1) or low resolution (figure 1-2) video and/or audio routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.

All audio models, with the exception of the MAV Plus 128 AV RCA, input and output audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. The MAV Plus 128 AV RCA inputs and outputs audio on RCA connectors.

For all switchers with video and audio, the audio switching can either be linked with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable input audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences between audio inputs.

Each matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet port and its RS-232/RS-422 port. The matrix switchers are programmed with Extron’s Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™), a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a control system or PC without programming long, obscure strings of code. SIS commands can be entered via either the Ethernet link or the RS-232/RS-422 link.

The Ethernet port can be connected through a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).

The CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher features e-mail notification of maintenance or other concerned personnel concerning the status of the power supplies and fans and the loss or resumption of sync on individual inputs.

The RS-232/RS-422 port can be connected to a control system, a PC, or Extron’s MCP 1000 remote control panel and/or MKP 1000 remote keypad.

The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures with 19” rack ears. The amount of vertical rack space required for each switcher is as follows:

In this manual, the term “video model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher that switches video.

In this manual, the term “audio model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher that switches audio.

MAV Plus HDA and HD switchers can also route low resolution RGsB and RsGsBs video signals. HDA and HD switchers can also route multiple composite video planes or S-video and composite video. If used in this way, the various video planes cannot be broken away; the input signals on the Y, R-Y, and B-Y input BNCs must be routed to the same outputs.

MAV Plus SVA and SV switchers can also be used to switch two planes of composite video. If used in this way, the two video planes cannot be broken away; the input signals on the luma and chroma input BNCs must be routed to the same outputs.

The MAV Plus Series have a bandwidth of 150 MHz (-3 dB).

Definitions

The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout this manual:

! SVA ! SV ! AV ! V ! A

Tie — An input-to-output connection. Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied

to more than one input.)

Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties. Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the

switcher (also called configuration 0)

Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global

memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to

the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. Up to 20 or 32 (depending on the number of input and output buttons) presets can be selected from the front panel for either saving or retrieving. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. All models have 32 presets; on models with fewer than 32 input and output buttons, preset numbers that are too high to be available from the front panel are still accessible under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.

In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations, it may be vital to know that sources are active and switching. Extron’s DSVP confirms that input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP provides instantaneous frequency feedback for composite sync or separate horizontal and vertical sync signals via the switcher’s RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet port. The frequency information can be displayed on any control system or in a Windows

-based control program on a local-area network

(LAN) or Internet (IP) connection (figure 1-3).

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of

presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel or via the Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 link. The RS-232/RS-422 links allow remote control via a PC or control system. The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with two levels of password protection.

• Front Panel Controller — The front panel controller supports input and output selection, I/O grouping, preset creation and selection, RGB delay, and audio gain and attenuation and volume control (audio models). The front panel features illuminated pushbuttons that can be labeled with text or graphics.

• Windows-based control program — For RS-232/RS-422 remote control from a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides a graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The Windows-based control program also has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher configuration file at the home office and then download it for use by the switcher on site.

• Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s SIS for easy programming and operation.

• Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote controllable, using the optional MCP 1000 master control panel and any combination of optional MCP 1000 slave control panels and/or MKP 1000 slave control keypads. The remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each MCP 1000 can be used for one-touch switching for a particular output and selecting global presets. Each MKP 1000 dedicated to an output can be used to select a different input for that output or to select a preset.

Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can be

upgraded in the field via RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet, without taking the switcher out of service, opening the switcher enclosure, and replacing the firmware chip. Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com and they can be installed using the Windowsbased control program.

Labeling — Extron’s included label software lets you create labels to place in the

front panel I/O buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with any Brother™ P-Touch™ or comparable labeler.

Global memory presets — 20 or 32 (depending on the model) global memory

presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store input/output configurations in advance. You can then recall those configurations, when needed, with a few simple steps.

Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19” wide rack. Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) — If a matrix switcher is installed in

an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, a security lockout feature can be implemented. When the front panel is locked, a special button combination or SIS command is required to unlock the front panel controller before it can be operated.

I/O grouping — Allows the matrix to be virtually divided into smaller

sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows specific outputs, such as those designated for a specific purpose, to be grouped together.

Connections

CAUTION

Video input and output (video switchers)

RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers only)

The switcher can connect to up to as many as 32 RGBHV video sources, depending on the model. The switcher can output to as many as 32 RGBHV video devices, depending on the model.

Use Electrostatic discharge precautions (be electrically grounded) when making connections. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment, even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.

Remove system power before making all connections.

The switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.

On CrossPoint 450 Plus matrix sizes of 8 x 16 and larger, the connectors for each video plane are grouped together (all of the red inputs grouped together, all of the green inputs grouped, and so on). Ensure that you connect the input on each video plane to the corresponding connector in the correct group (see figure 2-11).

The CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, or composite video by using four, three, two, or one BNC(s). If switching a video format other than RGBHV, ensure that the same video planes (R, G, B, H/HV, and/or V) are used on the switcher output as on the input.

Video inputs — Connect RGB video, component/HDTV video, S-video, or

composite video inputs, as applicable, to these BNC connectors for each input. Figure 2-11 shows how to connect the RGB video format to each configuration.

Video outputs — Connect RGB video, component/HDTV video, S-video, or

composite video displays, as applicable, or other devices to these BNC connectors for each output. Figure 2-11 shows how to connect the RGB video format to each configuration.

Video (MAV Plus switchers only)

The switcher can connect to up to as many as 32 S-video or composite video or up to 16 component/HDTV video, S-video, or composite video sources, depending on the model. The switcher can output to as many as 32 S-video or composite video or up to 16 component video, S-video, or composite video devices, depending on the model.

Video inputs — Connect component/HDTV video (figure 2-12),

S-video (figure 2-13), or composite video (figure 2-14) inputs, as applicable, to these BNC connectors for each input.

Video outputs — Connect component/HDTV video (figure 2-12),

S-video (figure 2-13), or composite video (figure 2-14) displays, as applicable, or other devices to these BNC connectors for each output. Figure 2-14 shows how to connect the various video formats to each MAV Plus configuration.

Video input and output connections are made with female BNC connectors. Some video input and output devices do not have BNC video output connectors. For these cases, a suitable cable or connector adapter is necessary. The part number for the Extron RCA-to-BNC adapter is 10-229-01.

The connectors for each video plane are grouped together (for example, for component/HDTV switchers, all of the Y inputs grouped together, all of the R-Y inputs grouped, and so on). Ensure that you connect the input on each video plane to the corresponding connector in the correct group (figure 2-12, through figure 2-14, below and on the next page).

Sync termination switches (CrossPoint 450 Plus only)

Sync termination switches — The CrossPoint 450 Plus matrix switchers have

sync termination switches on the rear panel for inputs 1 through 8 (CrossPoint 450 Plus 2412, 2424, 3216, and 3232) or inputs 1 through 4 (CrossPoint 450 Plus 84, 88, 124, 128, 816, 168, 1616). The switches (figure 2-15) provide a way to condition non-TTL sync levels greater than 5 Vp-p, enabling the sync to be properly passed from input to selected output(s). The matrix switchers have two sets of sync termination switches; one for horizontal or combined sync and a second set for vertical sync.

Figure 2-15 — Sync termination switches

Each switch provides the option of selecting either 510 ohms or 75 ohms. The 75 ohms position is required only for an input with non-TTL sync, greater than 5 V p-p. The normal position is 510 ohms.

An input that produces an out of sync display, a display that is rolling vertically and/or tearing horizontally, could indicate a non-TTL sync input. A device that is known to output non-TTL sync levels (greater than 5V p-p) should be connected to one of the inputs with sync termination switches, and the switches for that input should be set to the 75 ohm position. If you are not sure, check the specifications in the user’s manual for the input device.

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length 328’ (100 m).

world. You can also control the switcher from a PC that is either running Extron’s windows-based control program or that has downloaded HTML pages from the switcher.

Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate the status of the Ethernet connection. The Link LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily. The Act LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.

Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.

• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.

• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure 2-20).

• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher.

• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher to an Ethernet LAN.

Reset button — The Reset button initiates three levels of reset to the

matrix switcher. Press and hold the button while the switcher is running or while you power up the switcher for different reset levels.

See Reset button in chapter 3, Operation, for details.

• Events (mode 3) reset — Hold Reset for 3 seconds then release and push again to toggle events monitoring on and off.

• IP settings (mode 4) reset — Hold Reset for 6 seconds then release and push again to reset the switcher’s IP functions.

IP settings reset does not replace any user-installed firmware.

• Absolute (mode 5) reset — Hold Reset for 9 seconds then release and push again to restore the switcher to the default factory conditions.

• Hard reset — Hold Reset while powering up the switcher to restore the switcher to the default factory conditions.

External sync (MAV Plus video models only)

The MAV Plus switcher switches between inputs during the vertical interval period, resulting in glitch-free video switching. The MAV switcher can use an external signal to synchronize switching during the vertical interval. 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.

Operation

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

The front panel controls (figure 3-1 through figure 3-3) are grouped into two sets. The input and output buttons are grouped on the left side of the control panel. The control buttons and video/audio (I/O) selection buttons are grouped on the right side of the panel.

The operation of the CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers and MAV Plus switchers is very similar. There are two exceptions:

• The video selection button is labeled “RGBHV” on the CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers and “Video” on the MAV Plus switchers.

• The MAV Plus switchers do not offer RGB delay switching.

While the number of inputs and outputs varies depending on the size of the matrix, there are only three front panel arrangements: 12 input buttons by 8 output buttons (figure 3-1), 16 by 16 (figure 3-2), and 32 by 32 (figure 3-3). See the table below to identify the front panel arrangements used by each switcher model.

On smaller matrix switchers, the larger-numbered buttons are not used for input and output selection, although they are used to select and indicate preset numbers, indicate the input audio level, and indicate the output audio volume.

Definitions

The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout this manual:

Tie — An input-to-output connection. Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied

to more than one input.)

Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties. Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the

switcher (also called configuration 0)

Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global

memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to

Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as

determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.

Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room

that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

Input and output buttons

If the switcher has fewer inputs or outputs than input or output buttons, only the buttons for which the switcher has an input or output perform the function of selecting and identifying that input or output.

Input buttons — The input buttons have two primary functions (•) and four

secondary (❏) functions:

• Select an input.

• Identify the selected input.

Front Panel Operations

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample procedures for creating ties; changing a configuration; viewing configurations; saving and recalling a preset; muting and unmuting outputs, viewing and adjusting the audio level; viewing and adjusting the output volume; locking out the front panel; performing one of several resets; toggling background illumination on and off; and reading and setting the RS-232/RS-422 Remote port settings.

Power

Apply power by connecting the power cord to an AC source. The switcher performs a self-test that flashes the front panel button indicators green, red, and amber and then turns them off. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all I/O and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination. The lit/ unlit status RGBHV or Video button and the Audio button is the same as when the switcher was powered off.

The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact.

If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate. If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S Hotline.

Creating a configuration

The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. Change the current configuration as follows:

1. Press the Esc button to clear any input button indicators, output button indicators, or control button indicators that may be lit.

2. Select to configure video, audio, or both by pressing the RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers) or Video (MAV Plus switchers) button and/or Audio button.

3. Select the desired input and output(s) by pressing the input and output buttons.

Input buttons light green. Output buttons light or blink amber to indicate video and audio ties, green to indicate video only ties, and red to indicate audio only ties.

To indicate potential ties, output buttons blink the appropriate color when an input is selected.

To indicate current ties, output buttons light steadily the appropriate color when an input is selected.

To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated lit output buttons. To indicate potential unties, output buttons blink the appropriate color when an output is deselected but not untied from the input.

4. Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create additional ties until the desired

configuration is complete.

• Only one video input and one audio input can be tied to an output.

• If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output was previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.

• When the RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers) or Video (MAV Plus switchers) button and Audio button are lit, if an input with an audio tie but no video tie is selected, the input’s button lights green and the output button lights the appropriate color (amber, green, or red).

• As each input and output is selected, the associated output button blinks the appropriate color to indicate a tentative tie. Buttons for output(s) that were already tied to the input light the appropriate color steadily. Outputs that are already tied can be left on, along with new blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the associated output button.

• If you press the input button for an I/O grouped input and then try to select an output in a different group, the associated output button cannot be selected. The associated input button remains lit.

www.camboard.de

Tel. 07131 911201 Fax 07131 911203

ce-info@camboard.de

I/O grouping is a matrix switcher feature that allows you to subdivide the front panel control of the matrix into four smaller functional sub-switchers and limit tie creation from the front panel only. Inputs and outputs can be assigned to one of four groups or not assigned to any group.

Inputs and outputs that are assigned to a group can only be tied to other outputs and inputs within the same group when you are creating ties on the front panel. For example, a front panel operator cannot tie an input that is assigned to group 1 to an output that is assigned to group 2. Ungrouped inputs and outputs can be switched to outputs and inputs in any group. Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2) can be created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.

Suggested applications for the I/O grouping feature include:

• Segregating specific video formats to prevent an input in one video format

• Segregating input and output devices that are in separate rooms.

• Isolating video from being displayed on specific output devices for

from being inadvertently applied to an output device that supports another video format (figure 3-29).

The I/O groups can be set up on the front panel or by using RS-232/RS-422 and Ethernet ports and either the SIS or the Windows control program (see chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide, and chapter 5, Matrix Software. Create I/O groups on the front panel as follows:

1. Press the Esc button to clear any input buttons, output buttons, or control buttons that may be lit.

2. To enter I/O Group mode, press and hold the Input 1 and Output 1 buttons until the input and output buttons light to display the ungrouped inputs and outputs.

• Press the Enter button to select group 1.

• Press the Preset button to select group 2.

• Press the View button to select group 3.

• Press the Esc button to select group 4.

Setting RGB delay (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers only)

The CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers can briefly blank the RGB (video) output while it switches to the new input’s sync source, and then switches the RGB signals. This allows a brief delay for the display to adjust to the selected input’s sync timing before displaying the new picture, which will appear without glitches. RGB delay, also known as Triple-Action Switching or video mute switching, is user selectable from 0 to 5 seconds, in half-second increments.

The RGB delay interval can be set on the front panel or by using RS-232/RS-422 and Ethernet ports and either the SIS, Windows control program, or HTML pages (see chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide, chapter 5, Matrix Software, and chapter 6, HTML operation.

Using presets

The current configuration (configuration 0) can be saved as a preset in any one of 32 preset memory addresses. Preset locations are assigned to the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. Up to 20 or 32 (depending on the number of input and output buttons) presets can be selected from the front panel to be either saved or retrieved. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

RGBHV AUDIO

All input buttons and output buttons return to unlit or background illumination.

• Only the audio and video ties are stored and recalled; audio gain settings are not saved, and they do not change when a preset is recalled.

• Presets cannot be viewed from the front panel unless recalled as the current configuration. Presets can be viewed using Extron’s Windowsbased control program. See Chapter 5, Matrix Software, for more details.

• The current configuration and all presets are stored in non-volatile memory. When power is removed and restored, the current configuration is still active and all presets are retained.

• When a preset is recalled, it replaces the current configuration, which is lost unless it is also stored as a preset. The recalled preset overwrites all of the current configuration ties in favor of the preset configuration ties.

• All models have 32 presets; on models with fewer than 32 input and output buttons, preset numbers that are too high to be available from the front panel are still accessible under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.

• Figure 3-41 on the next page shows the presets associated with the various input and output buttons for all three front panel configurations.

Example 10: Viewing and adjusting an input audio level

The following steps show an example in which an audio level is viewed and adjusted. The steps show the front panel indications that result from your action.

Audio gain and attenuation is displayed differently on different models.

• Switchers with 32 output buttons — Each output button indicates 1 dB when lit. See the table on page 3-36.

• Switchers with 16 output buttons — Each output button indicates 1 dB when blinking and 2 dB when lit. See the table on page 3-37.

• Switchers with 8 output buttons — Each output button indicates 1 dB when blinking slowly, 2 dB when blinking quickly, and 3 dB when lit. See the table on page 3-37.

Because of the different gain and attenuation display schemes, the input audio levels that result from the following example are shown three times: as displayed on a 32-button switcher, on a 16-button switcher, and on an 8-button switcher. The 32-button displays show the actions that led up to the display. For simplicity, the 16-button and 8-button figures show the attenuation display only, not the actions that lead up to it.

Reading the displayed volume

This section is a detailed look at reading the output volume display on the switcher’s front panel. If you do not need to read the exact value of the volume setting, skip this section.

There are 65 steps of volume attenuation, with 1 dB per step (button push), except for 0-to-1, which is 35 dB. At maximum attenuation, no input buttons are lit, 98 dB of attenuation is applied, and the audio output is effectively muted. At no attenuation, all input buttons are lit and the output volume is equal to the input signal plus any gain or attenuation that is applied to that specific input using the input audio level adjustment. See Viewing and adjusting the input audio level (audio models). Other than the minimum and maximum volume, the switchers indicate the volume differently, depending on number (12, 16, or 32) of input LEDs. See the table on the next page to read the volume display for each display scheme.

For each display scheme, the input buttons blink or light sequentially to indicate the approximate volume of the selected output. Volume is defined as a percentage of the input audio signal that is applied to the output. From 0% of volume, the first Esc (

) button push applies 5.5% of the input audio signal. From 5.5% on, each

Esc (

) push applies 1.5% more of the input audio signal to the output:

• Push Esc (

the audio input level. Another way to view the volume level is to think in terms of the attenuation that is

applied to the output. Attenuation reduction is indicated by the lit or blinking input buttons: when fewer input buttons are lit, attenuation is greater (and the volume is quieter).

• At minimum volume, all input buttons are unlit or background illuminated and 98 dB of attenuation is applied to the output. The audio output is effectively muted.

• The first step of volume increase causes the Input 1 button to blink (slowly, in the case of switchers with 12 input buttons). Attenuation is reduced by 35 dB (63 dB of attenuation is applied to the output).

• The second step of volume increase reduces the attenuation by an additional 1 dB (62 dB of attenuation is applied to the output). (On switchers with 32 input buttons the Input 1 button lights steadily.)

• Successive steps of volume increase cause consecutive buttons to first blink, then light steadily. (On switchers with 32 input buttons, each consecutive button indicates a 1 dB attenuation reduction when blinking and a 2 dB

attenuation reduction when lit.) For example: When lit steadily, the Input 3 button indicates the following,

depending on the number of input buttons the switcher has:

! Switchers with 12 input buttons — 47 dB of attenuation when compared

to the Input 3 button blinking quickly (48 dB to 50 dB of attenuation). The blinking Input 4 button (45 dB to 46 dB of attenuation) is at least 2 dB less than the fast blinking Input 3 button (48 dB – 46 dB) and at most 5 dB less (50 dB – 45 dB).

! Switchers with 16 input buttons — 52 dB of attenuation when compared

to the Input 3 button blinking (53 dB to 55 dB of attenuation). The blinking Input 4 button (49 dB to 51 dB of attenuation) is at least 2 dB less than the fast blinking Input 3 button (53 dB – 51 dB) and at most and at most 6 dB less (55 dB – 49 dB).

! Switchers with 32 input buttons — 58 dB of attenuation when compared

to the Input 3 button blinking (59 dB of attenuation). The blinking Input 4 button (57 dB of attenuation) is 2 dB less than the steadily-lit Input 2 button (59 dB - 57 dB).

See the table on page 3-42 to read the volume display.

• On switcher with 32 input buttons, the buttons’ volume indications are additive.

For example: Input 1 lit (36 dB [35 dB + 1 dB] of attenuation reduction), Input 2 lit (2 dB [1 dB + 1 dB] of attenuation reduction), and Input 3 blinking (1 dB of attenuation reduction) indicate that the output attenuation has been reduced by a total of 39 dB (36 dB + 2 dB + 1 dB = 39 dB).

• At full volume, no attenuation is applied to the output and all input buttons are lit steadily.

Rear Panel Controls

The rear panel has a Reset button that initiates four levels of matrix switcher resets. Press and hold the button while the switcher is running or while you apply power to the switcher for different reset levels.

Performing soft system resets

The CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus switchers have three soft resets available that restore various tiers of switcher settings to their default settings.

• Events (mode 3) reset — This function toggles the monitoring of events on or off (if events monitoring was on, this function turns it off; if it was on, it is turned off).

• IP settings (mode 4) reset — The IP settings reset performs the following functions:

! Enables Arp program capability ! Resets the IP address to the factory default (192.168.254.254) ! Resets the subnet mask to the factory default () ! Resets the gateway address to its factory default () ! Resets port mapping to the factory default () ! Turn DHCP off ! Turn events off

IP settings reset does not replace any user-installed firmware.

• Absolute (mode 5) reset — Absolute reset restores the switcher to the default factory conditions. This function is identical to the command, see chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide).

Optimizing the Audio (Audio Switchers)

Each individual input audio level can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to +24 dB, so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. Adjust the audio gain and attenuation as follows:

1. Connect audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the audio outputs to output devices such as audio players. See Audio input and output connections (audio models only), in chapter 2, Installation. For best results, wire all of the inputs and the outputs balanced.

2. Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.

3. Switch among the inputs (see Creating ties, in this chapter), listening to the

audio with a critical ear or measuring the output audio level with test equipment, such as a VU meter.

4. As necessary, adjust the input audio level of each input (see Viewing and adjusting the input audio level (audio models), in this chapter) so that the

approximate output level is the same for all selected inputs.

5. As necessary, adjust the output audio level of each input (see Viewing and adjusting the output volume (audio models), in this chapter).

This section gives recommendations on what to do if you have problems operating the CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher, and it describes an actual image problem that Extron has encountered.

General checks

1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The switcher is receiving power if one of the front panel Power Supply LEDs is lit green.

2. Check to see if one or more outputs are muted.

3. Ensure an active input is selected for output on the switcher.

4. Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.

5. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.

6. Call the Extron S

Plasma display S-video problem (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers only)

Extron has encountered a problem when a CrossPoint 450 Plus switcher routes S-video that is output by some video conference codecs. Some codecs change the DC offset on the chrominance (C) so that it is very different from the level on the luminance (Y). This can cause a plasma display to come up in the wrong size mode.

With the matrix switcher taken out of the system, the plasma works fine. It looks like a problem with the matrix switcher, but it is not. The matrix switcher boosts the bad codec output, which makes the plasma go to the wrong setting.

Solution: Try placing an Extron video DC block adapter, part #26-495-01, on the luminance (Y) input to the switcher from the codec.

Configuration Worksheets

Rather than trying to remember the configuration for each preset, use worksheets to record this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on page 3-57 (32-input button and -output button switchers) and page 3-59 (16-button switchers) and use one for each preset configuration. The worksheet accommodates all of the CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus models. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and outputs. Use different colors for video and audio.

Worksheet example 1: System equipment

Figure 3-82 shows a worksheet for a CrossPoint 450 Plus 2424 HVA in a fictional organization with the system hardware annotated. Inputs 10, 11, and 21 through 24 have no connections in this organization, so they have been crossed out on the worksheet. A CrossPoint 450 Plus 2424 does not have inputs 25 through 32, so they are crossed out. Similarly, outputs 7, 14, 15, 16, and 25 through 32 are crossed out.

Inputs include PCs, an audio CD player, cameras, and an Extron VTG 300. Output devices include monitors, front and rear projectors, a stereo, and a VCR for recording presentations.

The Extron VTG 300 video test generator connected to input 12 enables a video test pattern to be sent to one, several, or all output devices for problem isolation or adjustment purposes. An audio test tape or CD could be used in a similar manner to check out the audio components.
