MVX Plus 128 VGA A	12x8 VGA and Stereo Audio	60-788-01	Retired

This product has been retired.

The MVX Plus 128 VGA A is a 12 input, eight output matrix switcher designed to route high resolution computer-video and stereo audio signals. It offers the performance of a wideband switcher with the convenience of 15-pin HD connectors for all computer-video input and output connections. Balanced or unbalanced stereo audio is input and output on captive screw connectors. Using pre-terminated cable assemblies, such as Extron's VGA Cables, eliminates crimping and makes installations faster and easier.

Housed in a compact, 2U metal enclosure, the MVX Plus 128 VGA A includes RS-232 and IP Link® Ethernet control capability. A standard QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller allows for simple, touch-of-a-button input and output selection directly from the front panel. The flexibility to control the matrix switcher from a remote location is also possible using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 Series Matrix Switcher X-Y Remote Control Panels.

The MVX Plus 128 VGA A features exclusive Extron technologies, such as ADSP™ - Advanced Digital Sync Processing, an all-digital process that corrects and restores the sync signal as it passes through the switcher, and DSVP™ - Digital Sync Validation Processing for verifying active sources.

Features

Inputs: VGA on female 15-pin HD connectors; audio on captive screw connectors

Outputs: Video on female 15-pin HD connectors; audio on captive screw connectors

300 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth, fully loaded — Designed for routing most common high resolution computer-video rates without signal degradation. The MVX Plus 128 VGA A provides 300 MHz (-3dB) of RGB video bandwidth at full performance capacity when one input signal drives all outputs.

ADSP™ - Advanced Digital Sync Processing technology — An exclusive, all-digital process that regenerates the sync signal waveform and restores sync level to 5.0 V p-p, TTL specifications. This ensures a stable sync signal for improved signal compatibility with any LCD, DLP, plasma, or other digital display device.

DSVP™ - Digital Sync Validation Processing — Verifies active sources by polling all inputs for valid sync signals. DSVP then transmits the horizontal and vertical sync information to the user through the serial or IP Link ports.

RGBHV switching — Switches separate horizontal and vertical sync to ensure proper sync polarity, providing a more stable image. Fully compatible with RGBS, RGsB, HDTV, component video, S-video, and composite video signals.

Buffered I/O — Each input and output is individually buffered to provide maximum performance and virtually no crosstalk or signal interference between channels.

Triple-Action Switching™ for RGB Delay — Blanks the screen when switching to a new source. The new sync signals precede the RGB signals, so there is no glitch shown during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is adjustable up to five seconds through front panel, IP Link, or serial control.

Balanced and unbalanced audio — Balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals are output on captive screw connectors.

Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows users to set the level of gain or attenuation for each audio input channel, eliminating noticeable volume differences when switching between sources.

Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio and video signals from one source to be switched to different destinations.

Audio output volume adjustment and muting — Can be set dynamically for each channel through the front panel, IP Link, or serial control, eliminating the need for an audio preamplifier in many system designs.

View I/O mode — Users can easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected.

I/O grouping — Allows the matrix switcher to be virtually divided into smaller sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows specific outputs, like those designated for a specific video format, to be grouped together.

Rooming — The matrix switcher can be programmed to group-selected outputs into specific "rooms," each with its own set of unique presets. A total of 10 presets each, for up to 10 rooms, are available.

20 global presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be saved and recalled either from the QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller, IP Link, or serial control. This time-saving feature allows I/O configurations to be set up and stored in memory for future use.

QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.

Tri-color, backlit buttons can be custom labeled for easy identification — Can be custom labeled for easy identification. The buttons illuminate red, green, or amber, depending on function, for ease of use in low-light environments.

Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure environments. In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to operate the switcher from the front panel controller.

IP Link® Ethernet monitoring and control — Engineered to meet the needs of professional AV environments, IP Link enables the to be proactively monitored and managed over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, using standard TCP/IP protocols. IP Link provides for remote selection of input and output ties, adjustment and control of audio input and output levels, and advanced system diagnostics.

IP Link enhanced diagnostics — Provides for monitoring of internal product operating temperature and power supply voltages, e-mail notification of input signal loss, and other critical service information.

RS-232 and RS-422 control port — Using serial commands, the MVX Plus 128 VGA A can be controlled and configured via the included Windows-based control software, or integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming. The RS-232 and RS-422 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.

Control software — Provides a graphical, drag-and-drop interface for I/O configuration and other customization functions via RS-232 and RS-422 remote control. This software also offers an emulation mode for configuration of an offsite matrix switcher; the I/O configuration may be saved for future downloading to the matrix switcher.

Optional control panels and keypads — Provide the flexibility to control a MVX Plus 128 VGA A matrix switcher from a remote location.

Rack mountable — The MVX Plus 128 VGA A is housed in a compact 2U, 19-inch wide, rack-mountable metal enclosure.

Highly reliable, energy-efficient internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility with high demonstrated reliability.
