Introduction, cont’d A low resolution video matrix switcher system requires a MAV Plus video BME for each video plane (three BMEs for component video, two BMEs for S-video, or one BME for composite video). To add audio to the system requires a MAV Plus stereo or mono audio BME. N Multiple QS-FPCs are unnecessary and potentially confusing. To avoid confusion, Extron recommends that you lock the redundant QS-FPCs. See "Setting the front panel locks (Executive modes

Introduction, cont’d ™ Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP ) (CrossPoint 450 Plus sync BMEs) — In critical environments or unmanned remote locations, it may be vital to know that sources are active and switching. The DSVP feature 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 signals via the switcher’s serial ports or LAN port. The freque

Switching flexibility — Provides individually buffered, independent matrix switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway for systems with audio BMEs. • Tie any input to any or all outputs • Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the same time. • Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input via front panel control or under Eth
