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 — The included Button Label Generator 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
Global memory presets — 32 (FOX 4G Matrix 3200) or 64 (FOX 4G Matrix 7200)
global memory presets are available as a time-saving feature that lets you set
up and store input/output configurations in advance. You can then recall
those configurations, when needed, with a few simple steps. The presets are
available via front panel operation or serial port or Ethernet control.
Rack mountability
Front panel security lockout modes (Executive mode) — If a matrix switcher is
installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may
be a problem, a security lockout mode can be implemented. When the front
panel is locked, 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 — Allows the matrix to be virtually divided into smaller
subswitchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping limits the
selection of inputs and outputs to members of the same group. I/O grouping
allows specific outputs, such as those designated for a specific purpose, to be
grouped together.
Video genlock (SDI / HD-SDI inputs only) — Allows for vertical interval
switching and enables smooth, seamless transitions when switching between
synchronous video sources. Separate bi-level (SDI) and tri-level (HD-SDI)
references are provided on two separate BNC connectors.
P-Touch or comparable labeler.
