MAV Plus series switchers offer multiple models of all matrix sizes, with one, two, or three
(MAV Plus 1616 and smaller) video planes, to support different low resolution video formats
(exceptions are noted in
on page 6):
•
HDA for switching component/HDTV video and two-channel stereo audio
•
HD for switching component/HDTV video signals only
•
SVA for switching S-video and two-channel stereo audio
•
SV for switching S-video signals only
•
AV for switching composite video and two-channel stereo audio
•
V for switching composite video signals only
•
A for switching two-channel stereo audio only
NOTES:
•
“Video model” refers to any switcher model that switches video.
•
“Audio model” refers to any switcher model that switches audio.
•
When “450 Plus” or “Ultra” is not specified, “CrossPoint” refers to either model.
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, its rear panel
RS-232/RS-422 port, or its front panel Configuration (RS-232) port (MAV Plus matrix sizes
up to 1616, MAV Plus 248 A, MAV Plus 328 A, and CrossPoint Ultra only). The matrix
switchers are programmed with the Extron 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 either serial link.
The Ethernet port can be connected through a local area network (LAN) or wide area
network (WAN).
All models feature 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 matrix switchers can be remotely controlled via their rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422
ports, their rear panel LAN port, and their front panel Configuration port by any of the
following:
•
A control system
•
A PC
•
An Extron MKP 2000 remote control panel
•
An Extron MKP 3000 remote control panel
•
(RS-232/RS-422 only) An Extron MCP 1000 remote control panel
•
(RS-232/RS-422 only) An Extron MKP 1000 remote keypad
