Installation About this Manual This manual contains installation, confi guration, 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 confi gurations simultaneously.

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 Locking out the front panel (Executive mode) on page 3-40. The matrix sw

Defi nitions The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout this manual: Tie — An input-to-output connection. Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to more than one input.) Confi guration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties. Current confi guration — The confi guration that is currently active in the switcher (also called confi guration 0). Global memory preset — A confi guration that has been stored. Up

Introduction, cont’d Audio output volume (systems with audio BMEs) — The audio volume of each output can be displayed and adjusted through a range of full output to completely silent, from the front panel or under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control. 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. Extron’s DSVP confi rms that input sources are act

Switching fl exibility — 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 Ethernet

Introduction, cont’d Labeling — Extron’s included button label software lets you create labels to place in the front panel I/O buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with any Brother™ P-Touch™ or comparable labeler. Global memory presets — 64 global memory presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store input/output confi gurations in advance. You can then recall th

Installation Mounting the Switcher The matrix switcher BMEs are housed in rack-mountable, 6U (sync and video BMEs) or 7U (audio BMEs) high metal enclosures with 19" rack ears. If desired, rack mount the switcher BME as follows: 1. Insert the switcher BME into the rack, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket with those in the rack. 2. Secure the switcher BME to the rack using the supplied bolts. Rear Panel Views All connectors for all switcher BMEs are on the rear panel. Figure 2-1 shows
