Introduction, cont'd
The Extron MAV Series switchers are broadcast quality matrix switchers that
distribute any video and/or audio input to any combination of outputs. The MAV
switchers can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously. There
are four matrix sizes available, each with unique features or optional capabilities:
• MAV 84 RCA (eight inputs by four outputs)
• MAV 128 RCA (twelve inputs by eight outputs)
• MAV 168 (sixteen inputs by eight outputs)
• MAV 1616 (sixteen inputs by sixteen outputs)
The MAV 84 and MAV 128 input and output audio on RCA connectors.
Audio models in the MAV 168 and MAV 1616 series input and output audio on
3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. The MAV 168 and MAV 1616 are available
in models that can switch three video planes (component video), two video planes
(S-video), or one video plane (composite) video, each with or without an audio
plane. An audio-only matrix switcher is also available in the MAV 168 and
MAV 1616 series.
MAV component video switchers can also route RGsB and RsGsBs video signals.
Switchers configured for component video can also route multiple composite video
planes or S-video and composite video. If used in this way, the various planes
cannot be broken away; all inputs must be routed to the same outputs.
MAV S-video switchers can also be used to switch two planes of composite video.
If used in this way, the two planes cannot be broken away; both inputs must be
routed to the same outputs.
For the models with audio, audio switching can either be linked with the video
(audio follow) or be independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable
audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences between audio
inputs.
The MAV Series switchers are single-box solutions to simple 150 MHz (-3dB)
routing applications (figure 1-1, figure 1-2, figure 1-3, and figure 1-4). Each input
and output is individually isolated and buffered, and any inputs can be switched to
any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
