    Introduction Introduction, cont’d About this Manual This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the complete Extron family of full-function, medium- and large-sized, analog matrix switchers, specifically: • CrossPoint 450 Plus ultra-wideband RGBHV and audio matrix switchers • MAV Plus broadcast quality HDTV/component video, S-video, and composite video and audio matrix switchers About the Matrix Switchers Matrix switchers distribute any input to any combination of outputs.
  • Page 14 All of the matrix switchers are available in a variety of matrix sizes (the matrix size is the number of inputs and outputs). CrossPoint 450 Plus series switchers offer two models of each matrix size: • HVA for switching RGBHV video and two-channel stereo audio •...
  • Page 15 Introduction, cont’d In this manual, the term “video model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher that switches video. In this manual, the term “audio model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus or MAV Plus switcher that switches audio. All audio models, with the exception of the MAV Plus 128 AV RCA, input and output audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.

  • Page 20 Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™) (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers) — In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations, it may be vital to know that sources are active and switching. Extron’s DSVP confirms that input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP provides instantaneous frequency feedback for composite sync or separate horizontal and vertical sync signals via the switcher’s serial ports or Ethernet port.
  • Page 21 Introduction, cont’d Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel or via the Ethernet or serial link. The serial links allow remote control via a PC or control system.

  • Page 40: External Sync (Mav Plus Video Models Only)

    External sync (MAV Plus video models only) The MAV Plus switcher switches between inputs during the vertical interval period, resulting in glitch-free video switching. The MAV switcher can use an external signal to synchronize switching during the vertical interval. Without the external sync locking feature, switching between inputs can result in a brief rolling (sync loss) or a brief change in the picture size.

If you do not need to read the exact value of the volume setting, skip this section. There are 65 steps of volume attenuation, with 1 dB per step (button push), except for 0-to-1, which is 13 dB.

  • Page 87 Operation, cont’d When all input buttons are lit for any switcher model, the audio output is 100% of the audio input level. 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).

Selecting Lock mode 2 or toggling between mode 2 and mode 0 If the switcher is in Lock mode 0 or mode 1, this procedure selects mode 2.

  • Page 93: Performing A System Reset From The Front Panel

    Operation, cont’d Performing a system reset from the front panel The front panel reset is identical to the “Programmer’s Guide”). A system reset clears all ties and presets, all video and audio mutes, resets all I/O grouping, sets all input audio levels to unity gain (+0 dB), and sets all output volume levels to 100% (0 dB of attenuation).

  • Page 94: Selecting The Rear Panel Remote Port Protocol And Baud Rate

    Selecting the rear panel Remote port protocol and baud rate This procedure affects the rear panel Remote port only. The front panel Configuration (RS-232) port’s variables can be changed under serial port or Ethernet control only. See the Command/Response table for IP SIS commands, in chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, to configure either port under SIS control.
