Introduction

About the MAV 62 Matrix Switchers

The Extron MAV 62 family of matrix switchers consists of two
models of 6-input, 2-output audio and video matrix switchers;
the MAV 62 composite matrix routes composite video and the
MAV 62 S-video matrix routes S-video. Both models route
balanced or unbalanced stereo audio. The MAV 62 switchers
distribute any of six video and/or audio inputs to either output
or to both outputs. Any input can be switched to either or both
outputs.

The switchers are compatible with NTSC 3.38 and 4.43, PAL,
and SECAM video. When external sync is applied, video
switching occurs during the vertical interval, providing glitch­free switching.

The switchers allow the user to switch between devices, such as
a DSS receiver, a VHS or S-VHS VCR, a DVD player, or a
camcorder, and output the image to one or two video recorders
or displays, such as a data monitor or large screen projector
(figure 1-1).

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

The ½-rack width switcher can be mounted to a standard Extron
rack panel (part # 60-190-01). Each model has an internal
100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, 15 watts, auto-switchable power
supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
