Introduction, cont’d CrossPoint Plus Series delivers the highest performance and the most cost- effective solution. Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™) — In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations, it is vital to know that sources are active and switching. Extron’s exclusive DSVP confirms that input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP provides instantaneous frequency feedback for composite sync or separate horizontal and vertical sync sign

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, RS-232 capable PDA, or control system. QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC™) — The CrossPoint Plus series QS-FPC feature supports touch-of-a-button input and output selection, preset creation and selection, and audio gain and attenuation control.
