z
EDID Minder ® — Automatically manages EDID – Extended Display Identification Data
– communication between the display and connected VGA and HDMI input sources.
EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up correctly and reliably output content,
whether or not they are actively connected to the display device through the switcher
outputs.
z HDMI audio de-embedding — Strips two-channel PCM audio off HDMI inputs,
allowing for DSP processing and signal routing.
z
HDCP compliance — The MLS 608 D switchers and the included MTP/HDMI U R
device fully support switching and long distance transmission of HDCP signals.
z Cable equalization for each HDMI input — Actively conditions incoming HDMI
signals to compensate for signal loss when using long HDMI cables, low quality HDMI
cables, or source devices with poor HDMI signal output.
z Sends 720p, 1080i, and XGA (1024x768) HDMI signals up to 200 feet
(60 meters), 1080p/60 and 1920x1200 HDMI signals up to 100 feet (30 meters)
with standard CAT 5e cable — Extron STP201 Digital Twisted Pair cable provides
added protection from outside interference and increases overall signal transmission
distance.
z
Four input analog universal video switching — Four universal inputs, including
an Extron universal MTP twisted pair, accept RGBHV, HDTV component video, and
S-video or composite video sources. The output is universal MTP twisted pair to the
included MTP/HDMI U R.
z
Controllable (via TouchLink ™ Control System, MediaLink ® Controller, front
panel buttons, or RS-232) — The switchers can be controlled using the front panel
backlit buttons or RS-232. An optional TouchLink Touchpanel Control System or
MediaLink Controller may be connected to the RS-232 port to provide a simple and
intuitive user interface for the MLS 608 D Switchers, and the entire room.
z Skew equalization for MTP input and output — Skew adjustments are stored in
memory for the MTP input and output, to maintain RGB color alignment at all times.
z
Separate variable level and peaking controls for analog MTP signals
z Front panel control with backlit buttons — The buttons can be custom-labeled for
easy identification. Because the buttons illuminate, they are helpful for presenters in
low-light environments.
z Audio switching and output volume control — The MLS 608 D Series features
audio switching for eight input sources, and provides master volume control and
muting. Three balanced or unbalanced outputs are available, two on the MLS 608 D
switchers, the third on the MTP/HDMI U R. Each output can be set as variable or fixed.
z Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each
input to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between sources.
z
Mic/line audio matrix mixing — The MLS 608 D switchers provide microphone
bussing so that each of the two mic/line inputs can be mixed into any or all of the
audio outputs.
z
Available with integrated stereo or mono 70 volt power amplifier — The
MLS 608 D SA offers a stereo power amplifier with 20 watts rms output per channel
into 4 or 8 ohms. The MLS 608 D MA offers a mono 70 volt power amplifier with
40 watts rms output. Both feature an Extron exclusive, highly efficient, advanced
Class D amplifier design with CDRS
™ - Class D Ripple Suppression, an Extron patented
technology that provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an improvement in
signal fidelity over conventional Class D amplifier designs. CDRS eliminates the high
frequency switching ripple characteristic of Class D amplifiers, a source of radio
frequency (RF) emissions which can interfere with sensitive AV equipment such as
wireless microphones.
