    Figure 2-3 shows a MAV 1616 composite video switcher without audio. MAV 168 switchers are housed in the same 2U, 3U, or 4U enclosures as their MAV 1616 counterparts of the same video and/or audio type, but have fewer output connectors to accommodate the different matrix sizes they provide.
  • Page 19 INPUTS OUTPUTS Figure 2-4 — MAV 1616 audio-only matrix switcher The rear panel of the MAV 168 models have the same features as the MAV 1616 series models, with the exception of eight video outputs, eight audio outputs, or both.

  • Page 20: Power Connection

    The MAV Series Switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.

  • Page 21: Audio Input And Output Connections (Audio Models Only)

    Audio input connections MAV 128 RCA — Each input has a pair (left and right) of RCA connectors. MAV 168/1616 — Each input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio input.

  • Page 22: Rs-232/422 Connection

    External sync connection When the switcher switches between inputs, the resulting change in image should be seamless, or clean. Video models of the MAV 1616/168 Series 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.
