| Extron MPX Plus 866 A Media Presentation Matrix Switcher |
Product Code: MPXPLUS866A
 |
| The Extron MPX Plus 866 A ProDSP™ Media
Presentation Matrix Switcher is the AV industry’s first matrix switcher to
incorporate a powerful 64-bit floating point DSP engine for complete AV signal
routing and audio control. Extron ProDSP is loaded with powerful tools to
control level, dynamics, filters, delay, ducking, loudness, and feedback
suppression. ProDSP is managed by the intuitive DSP Configurator™ Software,
which also provides for configuration of four matrix switchers: an 8x6 VGA
switcher, 6x6 video switcher for composite video or S-video, 14x6 stereo audio
switcher, and a 4x6 mic/line audio matrix mixer. The MPX Plus 866 A is a
complete, one-box solution that eliminates the need for outboard audio DSP
equipment when integrating video and audio in a wide range of common AV
presentation applications. |
•
ProDSP™ 32/64-bit floating point signal processing —
The MPX Plus 866 A features 32/64-bit floating point audio DSP processing, which
maintains very wide dynamic range and audio signal transparency, to simplify
management of gain staging while reducing the possibility of DSP signal
clipping.
• Four Matrix Switchers in one:
◦ 8x6 VGA/component video
◦ 6x6 composite video or S-video
◦ 14x6 stereo audio
◦ 4x6 mic/line matrix mixer
• Low latency DSP processing — The DSP engine within the MPX Plus 866 A supports
a large array of concurrent audio processing algorithms within an audio channel
and across multiple channels, while maintaining extremely low latency from input
to output. Low latency processing keeps audio in sync with video, and prevents
distractions to the presenter resulting from delayed live audio.
• DSP Configurator™ Software — A powerful yet user-friendly PC-based software
tool for managing all audio and video operations of the MPX Plus 866 A. It
enables complete setup and configuration of digital audio processing tools on
the ProDSP platform, as well as routing and audio mixing.
• Intuitive Graphical User Environment — The DSP Configurator Software features
a Graphical User Environment that offers a clear view of all input and outputs,
audio processing blocks, audio and video routing, and audio mix points in a
single window. This allows a designer or installer to quickly view an audio or
video configuration without having to access multiple windows or menus.
•SpeedNav™ keyboard navigation — SpeedNav enables user-friendly, keyboard-based
navigation of the DSP Configurator Software without the need for a mouse or
touchpad. Using keyboard navigation keys and shortcuts, the user can access any
input or output, audio or video I/O tie, audio mix point, and all audio DSP
tools. Using only the keyboard for software access can help expedite audio
system setup and optimization while on-site using laptop PCs.
• Copy and paste for processing blocks — To help speed audio system design and
setup, parameter settings can be quickly copied between individual processing
blocks or identical groups of blocks within the Graphical User Environment,
using conventional cut-and-paste commands.
• Graphical I/O tie creation — Input and output ties can be quickly viewed and
created using the Graphical User Environment of the DSP Configurator software.
This intuitive software provides configuration for video only, audio only, and
video/audio ties with the click of a mouse.
• 32 Global and DSP Partial presets — Thirty-two presets can be saved and
recalled. Global presets contain only video and audio switching ties, while DSP
Partial presets also include DSP settings and audio levels. For DSP Partial
presets, settings can be saved for the entire system, or any selected group of
inputs, outputs, I/O ties, mix points, and DSP blocks.
• 300 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth, fully loaded, for VGA — Designed for
routing most common high resolution computer-video rates, as well as HDTV
component video, without signal degradation.
• 150 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth for composite video and S-video — Ensures
switching and distribution of video signals without degradation.
• Composite video and S-video transcoding — The MPX Plus 866 A includes built-in
bidirectional video transcoding, which simplifies the integration of composite
video and S-video sources.
• High quality video decoder with time base stabilization — The MPX Plus 866 A
is equipped with a broadcast-quality digital decoder that eliminates jitter, dot
crawl, and other decoding artifacts while also stabilizing and improving the
video from older analog VCRs or worn videotapes. The decoder automatically
senses NTSC or PAL standard video signals.
• Quad standard video compatible — Capable of switching NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43,
PAL, and SECAM video for worldwide compatibility.
• Video genlock — The MPX Plus 866 A genlocks to video input 9, providing for
vertical interval switching and enabling smooth, seamless transitions when
switching between synchronized video sources.
• DSVP™ - Digital Sync Validation Processing — DSVP verifies active
computer-video sources by polling the VGA inputs for valid sync signals.
Horizontal and vertical sync information is transmitted to the user through the
serial or Ethernet ports.
• Triple-Action Switching™ for RGB delay — Blanks the screen when switching to a
new source. The new sync signals precede the RGB signals, so there is no glitch
on screen during the transition.
• Four mic/line level inputs with 48 volt phantom power — The MPX Plus 866 A is
equipped with four mic/line level inputs. Selectable 48 volt phantom power for
each input allows the use of condenser microphones.
• 4x6 mic/line audio matrix mixing — The MPX Plus 866 A provides microphone
routing so that each of the four mic/line inputs can be mixed into any or all of
the six matrix switcher audio outputs.
• Audio/video mute — Inputs can be muted individually or all at once with a
single SIS command.
• QS-FPC™ QuickSwitch front panel controller with tri-color, backlit buttons —
Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple,
intuitive operation. Buttons can be custom labeled for easy identification and
illuminate red, green, or amber, depending on function, for ease of use in
low-light environments.
• Front panel configuration port — Enables easy configuration without having to
access the switcher's rear panel.
• Two RS-232 ports — The MPX Plus 866 A is equipped with both primary and
secondary RS-232 serial ports for divided room applications.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — Enables the MPX Plus 866 A to be proactively
monitored and managed over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, using standard TCP/IP
protocols.
• Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure
environments.
• Compact 2U enclosure — Rack-mountable for ease of integration.
• 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. |
