  • Page 17 • Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s SIS for easy programming and operation. • Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote controllable, using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 remote control keypads. The remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each MKP can be used for input-to-output switching, one-touch switching for a particular output. The MKP 3000 also can be used for selection of global presets. Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can be upgraded in the field via RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet, without taking the switcher out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, and can be installed using the Windows-based control program or the built-in HTML pages. 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. MVX Plus 128 VGA A Matrix Switcher • Introduction...
  • Page 18 MVX Plus 128 VGA A, 20 global memory presets are available from the front panel; the remaining presets are available via serial port control. Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19" wide rack Three front panel security lockout modes (Executive modes) — If a matrix switcher is installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, either of two security lockout modes can be implemented (the third mode is unlocked). When a front panel locked mode is enabled, a special button combination or SIS command is required to unlock the front panel controller and make the front panel fully operational. I/O grouping — This feature allows the matrix to be virtually divided into smaller sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows specific inputs and outputs, such as those designated for a specific purpose, to be grouped together. I/O grouping limits the selection of inputs and outputs to members of the same group. Power — The matrix switcher’s 100 VAC to 240 VAC, autoswitchable, internal power supply provides worldwide power compatibility. MVX Plus 128 VGA A Matrix Switcher • Introduction...

    Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the MVX Plus in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack- mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). Mounting instructions The matrix switcher is housed in rack-mountable, 2U high metal enclosure with mounting flanges for a standard 19" rack. If desired, rack mount the switcher as follows: Insert the switcher into the rack, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket with those in the rack.

  • Page 63: Reading The Displayed Volume

    Another way to view the volume level is to think in terms of the attenuation that is applied to the output. Attenuation reduction is indicated by the lit or blinking input buttons: when fewer input buttons are lit, attenuation is greater (and the volume is quieter). • At minimum volume, all input buttons are unlit or background illuminated and 85 dB of attenuation is applied to the output. The audio output is effectively muted. • The first step of volume increase causes the Input 1 button to blink slowly. Attenuation is reduced by 22 dB (63 dB of attenuation is applied to the output). There is no change in the volume indication. • The second step of volume increase reduces the attenuation by an additional 1 dB (62 dB of attenuation is applied to the output). The front panel display is unchanged. • Successive steps of volume increase cause consecutive input buttons to first blink slowly, then quickly, and then light steadily. For example: When lit steadily, the Input 3 button indicates 47 dB of attenuation when compared to the Input 3 button blinking quickly (48 dB to 50 dB of attenuation). The blinking Input 4 button (45 dB to 46 dB of attenuation) is at least 2 dB less than the fast blinking Input 3 button (48 dB – 46 dB) and at most 5 dB less (50 dB – 45 dB).

    Optimizing the Audio Each individual input audio level can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to +24 dB, so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. Adjust the audio gain and attenuation as follows: Connect audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the audio outputs to output devices such as audio players. See “Audio connections”, in chapter 2, “Installation”. For best results, wire all of the inputs and the outputs balanced. Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players. Switch among the inputs (see “Creating a configuration”, in this chapter), listening to the audio with a critical ear or measuring the output audio level with test equipment, such as a VU meter. As necessary, adjust the input audio level of each input (see “Viewing and adjusting the input audio level”, in this chapter) so that the approximate output level is the same for all selected inputs. As necessary, adjust the output audio level of each input (see “Viewing and adjusting the output volume”, in this chapter). Troubleshooting This section gives recommendations on what to do if you have problems operating the switcher and it describes an actual image problem that Extron has encountered. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The switcher is receiving power if one of the front panel Power Supply LEDs is lit green. Check to see if one or more outputs are muted. Ensure an active input is selected for output on the switcher. Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.

  • Page 84: Switcher Error Responses

    When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are: E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large) E10 — Invalid command E11 — Invalid preset number E12 — Invalid output number (too large) E13 — Invalid value (out of range) E14 — Illegal command for this configuration E17 — Timeout (caused only by direct write of global presets) E21 — Invalid room number E24 — Privilege violation (Ethernet, Extron software only) Using the Command/Response Tables The command/response tables begin on page 4-8.
