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).

Figure 1-1 — Typical MAV 62 switcher application

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.

Connect power cords and turn on the display devices and

the input devices.

Set the audio gain and attenuation. See Front Panel

Controls and Indicators in chapter 3.

Mounting the switcher

1. For optional rack mounting, mount the MAV switcher on

the left or right side of a 19" 1U Universal Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01) (figure 2-1).

a. If feet were previously installed on the bottom of the

case, remove them.

b. Mount the switcher on the rack shelf, using two

4-40 x 3/16 screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the case to the shelf.

2. If desired, attach a false front panel, or a second ½-rack-

width device to the other side of the shelf.

3. Attach the rack shelf to the rack using four 10-32 x ¾” bolts

and four #10 beveled dress washers.

Rear Panel Cabling

All connectors are on the rear panel. Depending on the model of the switcher, the type and layout of the connectors on the rear panel will vary. Figure 2-2 shows the rear panel of the MAV 62 S-video switcher. Figure 2-3 shows the rear panel of the MAV 62 composite switcher.

External sync connection

When switching between inputs, the resulting image change should be seamless, or clean. The MAV switchers 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.

Power LED — The Power LED lights to indicate power is on. If AC voltage is available, power is on. When power is first applied, all front panel LEDs flash to indicate that the power up sequence was accomplished satisfactorily.

Outputs button and LED — The Outputs button toggles between output 1 and output 2. The Outputs LED indicates the selected output.

Input buttons and LEDs — The input 1 through input 6 buttons select an input for output. The input 1 through input 6 LEDs indicate the selected input.

As a secondary function, the input 5/ and input 6/ buttons increase and decrease the amount of audio gain for a selected input and the input 1 through 5 LEDs indicate the audio level of the selected input. See Audio gain and attenuation in this chapter.

I/O configuration/save button and LED — The I/O Conf/Save button has two functions, selecting between video and audio and selection of audio gain and attenuation mode. The I/O LED identifies which function is selected.

Video and/or audio selection — When pressed and released, the I/O button cycles through video and audio, audio only, and video only selected for configuration (figure 3-2). The I/O LED is off when this function is enabled, and the Video/+dB and Audio/-dB LEDs (5) report the video and audio input selection.

Audio gain and attenuation mode — When pressed and held, the I/O button selects or deselects audio gain and attenuation mode, in which the operator can adjust the audio gain and attenuation. The I/O LED blinks when this function is enabled, and the Video/+dB and Audio/-dB LEDs are part of the audio level display for the selected input. See Audio gain and attenuation in this chapter.

Video/+dB and Audio/-dB LEDs — The function of the Video/

+dB and Audio/-dB LEDs varies depending on whether the I/O Conf/Save button is selecting between video and audio or if the switcher is in audio gain and adjustment mode.

Video and/or audio selection — The Video/+dB and Audio/

-dB LEDs indicate whether video, audio, or both are selected for display and/or selection. If audio is broken away and video and audio are selected for display, the Audio/-dB LED blinks.

Audio gain and attenuation mode — The Video/+dB and Audio/-dB LEDs indicate the polarity of the audio level setting. See Audio gain and attenuation in this chapter.

Front Panel Operations

Plug in all system components and turn on the input devices (such as DVD players, laserdisc players, VCRs, and DSS receivers) and the output devices. Set the input devices to output video using each device’s own operating instructions.

Creating ties

A Tie is an input-to-output connection. An input can be tied to both outputs. (An output can never be tied to more than one input.)

Create video and/or audio ties using the front panel buttons as follows:

You cannot create a tie from the front panel if the MAV 62 is in audio gain and attenuation mode (if the I/O LED is blinking). If the I/O LED is blinking, press and hold the I/O Conf/Save button until the I/O LED goes out.

1. Press and release the Outputs button to select the desired

output. The LED for the selected output lights.

A tie can also be created by an RS-232 device (see chapter 4, RS-232/Remote Control).

Audio gain and attenuation

The audio level of each input can be displayed and adjusted, from the front panel or by using Extron’s Windows-based control program, through a range of -15dB to +9dB to ensure that there is no noticeable volume difference among sources.

1. Press and release an input

button to select an input.

2. Press and hold the I/O Conf/

Save button until the I/O LED begins to blink, then release the button. The input 1 through 5 LEDs display the audio level for the selected input and the Video/+dB and Audio/-dB LEDs display the polarity (+ or -).

Each input LED indicates 0dB when off, 1dB when blinking slowly, 2dB when blinking quickly, and 3dB when lit.

The Video/+dB LED indicates a positive (gain) level. The Audio/-dB LED indicates a negative (attenuation) level. Both LEDs on indicate 0dB.

Memory

Audio settings are saved in nonvolatile memory. When the switcher is powered off, the settings are retained. When the switcher is powered on, the saved settings are active. The ties are not saved; when the switcher is powered on it defaults to input 1 tied to output 1 and input 2 tied to output 2.

Troubleshooting — If no image appears

1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on.

The switcher is receiving power if the Power LED is lit.

2. Ensure an active input and output are selected on the

MAV 62.

3. Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.

4. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.

5. Call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline if

necessary.

Simple Instruction Set Control

Host-to-interface communications

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the switcher executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the switcher to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Switcher-initiated messages

When a local event, such as a front panel operation or error condition, occurs, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below:

Out2 Inn All

The switcher issues the copyright message and the input selected message when it first powers on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number. Outx Inn All identifies the currently selected ties, where x is the output number, n is the input number, and

Function

Transmit data Receive data

Ground

All is both video and audio (the power-up default is video and audio output 1 tied to input 1 and video and audio output 2 tied to input 2). The switcher also sends the Outx Inn message whenever the selected input is changed using the front panel buttons.

Reconfig The switcher initiates this message when there is a change in the audio gain setting for any input.

Error responses

When the switcher receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 - Invalid input channel number (out of range) E10 - Invalid command E12 Invalid output number (out of range) E13 - Invalid gain value (out of range)

Timeout

Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.

Using the command/response table

The command/response table is on the next page. Lower case letters are allowed in the command field only as indicated. Symbols are used throughout the table to represent variables in the command/response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table. The ASCII to HEX conversion table is for use with the command/response table.
