Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
Extron family of full-function, very large CrossPoint ™ 450 Plus ultra-wideband and
MAV Plus 3248 through 6464 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 Extron very large CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus matrix switchers are a
family of matrix switcher basic module enclosures (BMEs) that allow you to create
a video, audio, or video and audio matrix switching system with up to 64 inputs
and 64 outputs specifically tailored to meet your requirements. All BMEs are rack
mountable. All video and sync BMEs are 6U in height; audio BMEs are 7U in
height. This family of matrix switcher BMEs includes the following models:
• CrossPoint 450 Plus wideband video switcher BME — A switcher
that routes one video plane (red [R], green [G], and blue [B]) from any
input to any one or more outputs. This BME has a video bandwidth of
450 MHz (–3 dB), fully loaded, to support video resolutions of 1600 x 1200
and above.
• CrossPoint 450 Plus sync switcher BME — A switcher that routes one sync
plane (horizontal [H], vertical [V], or composite sync [S]) from any input to
any one or more outputs
• MAV Plus video switcher BME — A switcher that routes one plane of low
resolution (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) component video (Y, R-Y, or B-Y), S-video
(Y or C), and composite video from any input to any one or more outputs.
This BME has a video bandwidth of 150 MHz (–3 dB), fully loaded, to
support all video resolutions.
• MAV Plus stereo audio switcher BME — A switcher that routes balanced
or unbalanced stereo audio (two audio planes) from any input to any one or
more outputs
• MAV Plus mono audio switcher BME — A switcher that routes mono audio
(one audio plane) from any input to any one or more outputs
Each BME model is available in the following matrix sizes:
• 3248 (32 inputs by 48 outputs)
• 3264 (32 inputs by 64 outputs)
• 4832 (48 inputs by 32 outputs)
• 4848 (48 inputs by 48 outputs)
• 4864 (48 inputs by 64 outputs)
• 6432 (64 inputs by 32 outputs)
• 6448 (64 inputs by 48 outputs)
• 6464 (64 inputs by 64 outputs)
