DESCRIPTION
The Extron MAV AV Series matrix switchers are designed to route composite video and balanced/unbalanced stereo audio signals. They are ideal for a wide range of matrix switching applications, including museums, sports bars, videoconferencing rooms, and home theaters.
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 video signals without degradation. MAV Series matrix switchers provide a minimum 150 MHz (-3 dB) of video bandwidth at full performance capability when one input drives all outputs.
* Video genlock — Allows for vertical interval switching and enables smooth, seamless transitions when switching between synchronous video sources.
* Compatible with NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.42, PAL, and SECAM video — Provides for worldwide compatibility.
* Switches both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio — Accepts both signals on captive screw connectors.
* Audio input gain and attenuation — Balances all audio inputs so there is no noticeable difference between volume levels. Adjustments can be made directly from the front panel or through RS-232 control, input by input.
* Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break away an audio signal from its corresponding video signal. Switching can be done via the front panel or RS-232 remote.
* QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.
* View I/O mode — Easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected.
* 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.
* RS-232 control port — Using serial commands, the MAV Series can be controlled and configured via the included Windows-based control software, or integrated into a control system. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming. The RS-232 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.
* Optional IR 501 remote control
* Control software — Provides a graphical, drag-and-drop interface for I/O configuration and other customization functions via RS-232 remote control. This software also offers an emulation mode for configuration of an offsite matrix switcher; the I/O configuration may be saved for future downloading to the matrix switcher.
* Optional remote control — Optional X/Y control panels, bus control panels, and keypads provide the flexibility to control a MAV Series matrix switcher from a remote location.
* Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use when the matrix switcher is installed in an unsecured environment where easy access is not desirable. In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to operate the front panel.
* 1U, rack-mountable metal enclosure
* Highly reliable, energy-efficient internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility with high demonstrated reliability.
