The Extron MLS 608 D Series switchers are simple-to-use, eight input, multi-format switchers designed to integrate digital and analog sources. All signals are transmitted over CATx cable to the included MTP/HDMI U R Twisted Pair Receiver. The MLS 608 D Series features Extron ProDSP™ digital audio processing, which provides an extensive array of easy-to-use tools for audio system setup and fine-tuning. The MLS 608 D Series offers digital video switching with four HDCP-compliant, HDMI inputs, and analog video switching with four universal inputs, including an Extron Universal MTP Twisted Pair input. It outputs HDMI twisted pair signals and analog MTP Twisted Pair to the included receiver, providing a complete digital and analog video and audio switching system.

The MLS 608 D is available in three models. The MLS 608 D is a non-amplified model with a variable preamp output. The MLS 608 D SA features stereo power amplification with 20 watts rms per channel into 4 or 8 ohms. The MLS 608 D MA features mono 70 volt amplification with 40 watts rms output. The MLS 608 D switchers are ideal for classrooms, conference rooms, and other AV environments that require the flexibility to integrate a mix of digital and analog video switching in a single switcher.

Accepts Multiple Digital and Analog Signal Formats

The MLS 608 D Series features independent digital and analog video switching. The digital portion comprises four HDCP-compliant HDMI inputs. Each HDMI input features automatic cable equalization, which reduces the need for additional signal conditioning equipment by compensating for signal loss when using long input cable assemblies. The MLS 608 D de-embeds two-channel PCM audio signals from the HDMI input, allowing for audio DSP processing and signal routing to the outputs.

The analog portion includes three universal inputs that accept all common video formats, from composite video to HDTV and high resolution RGB. A fourth, Extron Universal MTP Twisted Pair input accepts all of these signals from an MTP Series Twisted Pair Transmitter.

Digital and Analog Twisted Pair Outputs

The MLS 608 D Series includes a dual twisted pair output for the HDMI signals, and a single Universal MTP Twisted Pair output for the analog signals. These outputs enable transmission over economical and installation-friendly CATx cables to the included MTP/HDMI U R Twisted Pair Receiver, which can be conveniently mounted at the display.

EDID Minder^®

The MLS 608 D Series features EDID Minder, which automatically manages the EDID information between the display device and all the HDMI and VGA input sources. EDID Minder offers an automatic mode which captures and stores the EDID from the display, and then communicates this EDID to the input sources. Also available is a user assigned mode, which allows pre-stored EDID, based on a user selected resolution, to be manually assigned to the sources. By maintaining continuous EDID communication with all sources, EDID Minder ensures that all HDMI and VGA sources power up properly and maintain their video outputs whether or not they are actively connected to the display device through the switcher's outputs.

MTP Twisted Pair System Optimization

The MLS 608 D Series offers features designed to streamline installation and setup of MTP Twisted Pair systems, including video level and peaking compensation for the MTP input of the switcher as well as the MTP/HDMI U R twisted pair receiver. Skew compensation is provided by the MLS 608 D switcher for both the MTP input and output, maintaining RGB color alignment. Additionally, with automatic signal format detection, the MTP/HDMI U R receiver automatically detects the incoming video signal format, as well as any incoming audio or RS-232 control signal from the MLS 608 D switcher. The incoming signals are then routed to the appropriate output connectors.

The HDMI and RS-232 signals are carried on the digital output over the dual twisted pair cables. Audio signals from the MLS 608 D are transmitted to the MTP/HDMI U R over the MTP cable.

Extensive Control Options

The switchers can be controlled using the front panel backlit buttons or RS-232. The front panel provides control for direct input switching as well as mic and audio volume. These backlit buttons can be individually labeled to enable easy identification of video and audio inputs.

In addition, the switchers can be controlled via RS-232 using an optional TouchLink^® Touchpanel Control System or MediaLink^® Controller. TouchLink and MediaLink are configurable control systems that provide a simple and intuitive user interface for the MLS 608 D switchers, and the entire room.

Audio Switching and Integrated ProDSP

The MLS 608 D switchers feature seven-input stereo audio switching to accompany incoming video sources. A mic/line audio matrix mixer allows either of two available mic/line inputs to be mixed into any or all of the audio switcher outputs. Input gain and attenuation is provided for each input, and the MLS 608 D provides master volume control on the front panel as well as a separate control for mic volume.

The MLS 608 D switchers also incorporate ProDSP, an Extron-developed audio platform based on a powerful 64-bit floating point DSP engine, with easy-to-configure tools to control level, dynamics, filters, delay, ducking, loudness, and feedback suppression. ProDSP is managed by the intuitive DSP Configurator™ Software, which features a Graphical User Environment that offers a clear view of all input and outputs, audio processing blocks, audio and video switcher settings, and mix points in a single window.

The MLS 608 SA offers stereo power amplification with 20 watts per channel into 4 or 8 ohms. While the MLS 608 D MA features mono 70 volt amplification with 40 watts output. Both the MLS 608 SA and the MLS 608 MA feature an Extron exclusive, highly efficient, advanced Class D amplifier design with patented CDRS™ - Class D Ripple Suppression technology that provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an improvement in signal fidelity over conventional Class D amplifier designs.
