MAV Series Switchers • Introduction 1-6
MAV 168/1616 video models
Inputs — These switchers offer 16 RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video,
S-video, or NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM composite video inputs
on BNC connectors (video models).
Stereo audio can be balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw
terminals (audio models).
Outputs — 8 or 16 RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, or NTSC 3.58,
NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM composite video outputs are available on BNC
connectors (video models).
Stereo audio can be balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw
terminals (audio models).
Bandwidth — Bandwidth is a maximum of 150 MHz (-3dB), fully loaded. This
high bandwidth allows the MAV switchers to switch everything from NTSC
video to HDTV.
MAV 168/1616 audio models
Inputs — 16 stereo audio inputs, balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole
captive screw terminals.
Outputs — 8 or 16 stereo audio outputs, balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole
captive screw terminals.
Audio gain/attenuation — Users can set the input level of audio gain or
attenuation (-15dB to +9dB) via the RS-232/RS-422 link or from the front
panel. Individual input audio levels can be adjusted so there are no
noticeable volume differences between sources (figure 1-5).
Audio follow — Audio can be switched with the corresponding video input,
allowing any audio signal to be selected with any video signal
simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio follow
switching can be done via front panel control or under RS-232/RS-422
remote.
Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding video
signal. Audio breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or
under RS-232/RS-422 control.
All models
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of
presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel
or over the RS-232/RS-422 link. The RS-232/RS-422 link allows remote
control via a PC or control system.
• QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC™) — The MAV series QS-FPC
feature supports touch-of-a-button input and output selection, preset creation
and selection, and audio gain and attenuation control.
• Windows-based control program — Extron’s Windows-based control
program provides a versatile range of operational options with its graphical
interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The Windows-based
control program also has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher
configuration file at the home office and then download it for use by the
switcher on site.
• Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s
SIS for easy programming and operation.
