Extron MAV Plus 128 AV

The Extron MAV Plus 128 AV matrix switchers are designed to route composite video and stereo audio signals. All three 12x8 matrix switchers feature 150 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded, backlit I/O selection buttons, and Extron's exclusive IP Link® Ethernet control technology.

Features

Inputs: Video on female BNC connectors; audio on captive screw connectors

Outputs: Video on female BNC connectors; audio on captive screw connectors

150 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded — Ensures switching and distribution of signals without degradation. The 150 MHz (-3 dB) rating is a worst case specification; in other words, the MAV Plus Series matrix switcher provides at least 150 MHz (-3 dB) at full performance capacitywhen one input signal drives all outputs.

Compatible with NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.42, PAL, and SECAM video (quad standard) — Provides for worldwide compatibility.

Vertical interval switching — Enables smooth, seamless transitions when switching between synchronous video sources.

Enhanced QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC™) — Allows for touch-of-a-button input and output selection. With tri-color, backlit buttons for each input and output, operations are simplified and intuitive.

Tri-color, backlit buttons accept custom window labels — The backlit buttons on the front panel of the MAV Plus matrix switchers can be custom-labeled for easy identification. Buttons illuminate red, green, or amber, depending on function, for ease-of-use in low-light environments.

View I/O mode — Allows users to easily see which individual inputs and outputs are actively connected. Available from the front panel, RS-232, or via IP Link control.

Global presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be saved and recalled either from the QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller or RS-232 serial control. This time-saving feature allows you to set up I/O configurations and store them in memory for future use.

Rooming — All models can be programmed to group selected outputs into specific "rooms," each with its own set of unique presets. Each room can support up to 16 outputs. A total of 10 rooms, with 10 presets per room, are available.

Switches both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio (unbalanced only on MAV 128 AV RCA) — Accepts both signals on captive screw connectors. (The MAV Plus 128 AV RCA accepts unbalanced stereo audio on RCA connectors.)

Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows users to set the level of gain or attenuation for each audio input channel, eliminating noticeable differences when switching between sources.

Audio output volume adjustment and muting — Each individual output has volume control adjustment via the front panel, RS-232 or IP Link control. Audio output levels can be set dynamically at different levels to feed the audio amplifier, thus eliminating the need for a preamplifier in many system designs.

Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio channels to be operated as a separate matrix switcher.

IP Link® Ethernet monitoring and control — Engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments, IP Link enables the MAV Plus Series to be proactively monitored and managed over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, using standard TCP/IP protocols. IP Link provides for remote selection of input and output ties, adjustment and control of audio input and output levels, and advanced system diagnostics.

IP Link enhanced diagnostics — Provides for monitoring of internal product operating temperature and power supply voltages, e-mail notification of power supply failure, overheating, and other critical service information.

RS-232 and RS-422 control — Enable firmware updates and serial control via a third-party control system using Extron's Simple Instruction Set (SIS™), a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

Downloadable firmware updates — The latest firmware can be conveniently downloaded from the Extron Web site. Updates for new features and capabilities can be easily upgraded through the RS-232/RS-422 or IP Link Ethernet port.

Control software — Provides a graphical, drag-and-drop interface for I/O configuration and other customization functions via RS-232 and RS-422 remote control. Also offers an emulation mode for configuration of an off-site matrix switcher. The I/O configuration may be saved for future downloading to the matrix switcher.

Optional control panels and keypads — Provide the flexibility to control a MAV Plus Series matrix switcher from a remote location.

Front panel security lockout — If a MAV Plus matrix switcher is installed in an unsecured environment where easy access is not desirable, a security lock-out feature may be implemented. During lock-out mode, a special button combination is required to operate the front panel.

Rack-mountable metal enclosure

Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, autoswitchable, internal power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
