Features

• Balanced and unbalanced audio — Accepts both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio signals on captive screw connectors.
• Input audio gain and attenuation — Balances all audio inputs so there is no noticeable difference between volume levels. Adjustments can be made directly from the front panel or through RS-232 control, input by input.
• Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break away an audio signal from its corresponding video signal. switching can be done via the front panel or RS-232 remote.
• QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QSFPC™) — The QuickSwitch FPC feature allows for touch-of-a-button input and output selection. Extron QuickSwitch technology eliminates the learning curve usually associated with switching the inputs and outputs of a matrix switcher by using a tactile front panel button for every input and output.
• Front panel I/O label windows — I/O buttons may easily be labeled by any Brother® P-Touch labeler or Extron label software, which ships with every Extron matrix switcher. Each input and output can be labeled with names, alphanumeric characters, or even color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection.
• View I/O mode — Available via the front panel and RS-232 control, users can easily view which individual inputs and outputs are actively connected.
• Global presets — These store commonly used switching configurations. Any preset may be recalled from the front panel or RS-232 control. When a preset is recalled, all the new I/O connections occur simultaneously. This is also called a salvo.
• RS232 and RS422 control — A rear panel, RS-232 and RS-422 control port provides connection of the MAV matrix switchers to a third party control system. The Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) allows for quick and easy programming.
• Simple Instruction Set (SIS) — Extron's SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a third party control system. Instead of programming in long, obscure strings of code, the SIS makes it easy to operate an Extron product using RS-232 or RS-422 control.
• Control software — For RS-232 or RS-422 remote control from a PC, Extron ships our Windows®-based with every matrix switcher. This icon-driven software uses a graphical, drag-and-drop interface to make I/O configuration and other customization functions simple and convenient. This software also offers an emulation mode for configuration of an offsite matrix switcher; the I/O configuration may then be saved for future downloading to the matrix switcher.
• MCP 1000 and MKP 1000 control — Utilizing the MCP 1000 Control Panel and any combination of secondary MCP 1000 control panels or MKP 1000 control keypads offers the flexibility to control a CrossPoint Plus 88 matrix switcher from a remote location. Both remote control options are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each MCP 1000 panel may be used for one-button switching for a particular output and selecting global presets. Each MKP 1000 keypad may be used to select a different input or select a preset.
• Front panel security lockout — If a MAV matrix switcher is installed in an unsecured environment where easy access is undesirable, a security lock-out feature may be implemented. During lock-out mode, a special button combination is required to operate the front panel controller.
• Internal international power supply — The autoswitchable, internal power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
• IP Link® (Ethernet) — An IP integration technology developed by Extron specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional AV environments, which enables the MAV matrix switchers to be controlled and proactively monitored over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet. An intuitive Web interface is also included for such common functions as I/O switching, system control, and online diagnostics and monitoring.
• Web page serving capabilities — Extron IP Link provides web hosting with online pages for full functionality and monitoring of the product via any web browser. In addition, custom web pages can be produced with any off-the-shelf web page development software program to create your own HTML pages or java applets.
• Downloadable firmware updates — The newest firmware can be conveniently downloaded from the Extron Web site. Updates for new features and capabilities can be easily upgraded through the RS-232 and RS-422 or Ethernet port.
• Audio output volume adjustment — Output volume control adjustment (0-100%) is available via the front panel or RS-232 control. Audio output levels can be set at different levels through the switcher feeding the audio amplifier, eliminating the need for a pre-amplifier.
• Redundant power supplies — Primary and back-up power supplies for both positive and negative DC voltages are internally mounted. The primary power supply system is configured to support automatic fail-over switch to a hot spare power supply. This means no loss of functionality should the primary power supply fail.
• Backlit I/O selection buttons — Input and output buttons are easily identifiable using backlit buttons with clear overlay labels, enabling simple front panel operation
