Extron MAV Plus 168 AV

The Extron MAV Plus 168 AV matrix switchers are designed to route composite video and stereo audio signals. Both 16x8 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 — Accepts both signals on captive screw 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.
