The Extron CrossPoint 450 Plus 3248 Series is
designed to route ultra-wideband RGBHV and stereo audio signals. Both
CrossPoint® 32x48 matrix switchers feature 450 MHz (-3 dB) bandwidth, fully
loaded, and are also fully compatible with RGBS, RGsB, HDTV, component video,
S-video, and composite video signals.
Housed in rack-mountable, 19-inch wide enclosures, CrossPoint 450 Plus Series
matrix switchers come standard with RS-232 and RS-422 serial control capability.
The unique advantage of serial control is Extron's SIS™ - Simple Instruction
Set. SIS simplifies serial control by utilizing a limited set of easy to read,
ASCII command codes.
The CrossPoint 450 Plus Series also features three proprietary Extron
technologies: ADSP™ - Advanced Digital Sync Processing, Ethernet Control, and
DSVP™ - Digital Sync Validation Processing.
ADSP Technology
Extron's ADSP technology is an all-digital process that corrects and restores
the sync signal as it passes through the switcher. First, ADSP restores sync to
TTL levels, 5.0 V p-p, ensuring that the projector or monitor accurately locks
to sync and displays a stable image. Second, ADSP corrects the signal waveform
to create sharp rising and falling edges, ensuring a more stable and reliable
image in systems with different signal sources or cable lengths. Whether signal
losses and distortion are caused by long cable runs, variations in display
graphic card outputs, or low sync levels from many laptop computers, ADSP
significantly reduces sync related problems, improving signal compatibility with
many digital display devices.
Ethernet Control
The CrossPoint 450 Plus Series is equipped with an integrated, high
performance Web server that provides technical support personnel with the
ability to receive service and failure messages through an e-mail-enabled cell
phone, PDA, pager, or e-mail account. Utilizing Ethernet control, the help desk
can also view embedded Web pages to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot the
switcher for the following:
AV Resource Management
• Remotely select input and output ties for audio only, video only, or audio and
video
• Name and select global I/O presets
• Set audio input and output volume levels
• Set RGB delay time for glitch-free transitions
• Upload firmware updates via the Internet
Operating Status and Diagnostics
• Monitor primary and redundant power supply voltages
• Monitor operating temperature
• Recall firmware revision and other data for improved Help Desk support
• Provides immediate notification via e-mail for loss of input signal, power
supply failure, and other critical service information
DSVP
• Verifies active sources by polling inputs for horizontal and vertical sync
rate information |
•
Inputs: Video on female BNC connectors; audio on
captive screw connectors
• Outputs: Video on female BNC connectors; audio on captive screw connectors
• 450 MHz (-3 dB) RGB bandwidth, fully loaded — Offers the performance required
to maintain signal integrity with the most demanding high resolution signals.
• Extremely flat response — Switcher performance is further enhanced by the
extremely flat response in the critical portion of the bandwidth curve, between
0 and 130 MHz.
• ADSP™ - Advanced Digital Sync Processing technology — An exclusive,
all-digital process that regenerates the sync signal waveform and restores sync
level to 5.0 V p-p, TTL, specifications. This ensures a stable sync signal for
improved signal compatibility with any LCD, DLP, plasma, or other digital
display device.
• DSVP™ - Digital Sync Validation Processing — Verifies active sources by
polling all inputs for valid sync signals. DSVP then transmits the horizontal
and vertical sync information to the user through the serial or Ethernet ports.
• RGBHV switching — All models switch separate horizontal and vertical sync to
ensure proper sync polarity, providing a more stable image. All models are also
fully compatible with RGBS, RGsB, HDTV, component video, S-video, and composite
video signals.
• Channel to channel isolation — Provides excellent isolation between channels
and extremely low electromagnetic emissions, perfect for minimizing signal
leakage in high security or government environments.
• Buffered I/O — Each input and output is individually buffered to provide
maximum performance and virtually no crosstalk or signal interference between
channels.
• 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
shown during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is
adjustable up to five seconds through front panel, Ethernet, or serial control.
• Switches both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio, HVA models only
• Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows users to set the level of gain or
attenuation for each audio input channel, eliminating noticeable volume
differences when switching between sources.
• Audio output volume adjustment and muting — Can be set dynamically for each
channel through the front panel or serial control, eliminating the need for an
audio preamplifier in many system designs.
• Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from
its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio and video signals from one
source to be switched to different destinations.
• View I/O mode — Users can easily view which inputs and outputs are actively
connected.
• I/O grouping — Allows the matrix switcher to be virtually divided into smaller
sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping allows
specific outputs, like those designated for a specific video format, to be
grouped together.
• Rooming — The matrix switcher can be programmed to group-selected outputs into
specific "rooms," each with its own set of unique presets. Each "room" can
support eight to 16 outputs with 10 different presets. A total of 10 presets
each, for up to 10 rooms, are available.
• Global presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be saved and recalled
either from the QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller, Ethernet, or
serial control. This time-saving feature allows I/O configurations to be set up
and stored in memory for future use.
• Tri-color, backlit buttons — Can be custom labeled for easy identification.
The buttons illuminate red, green, or amber, depending on function, for ease of
use in low-light environments.
• QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — Provides a discrete button for
each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.
• Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure
environments. In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to
operate the switcher from the front panel controller.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — Enables the CrossPoint 450 Plus matrix
switchers to be proactively monitored and managed over a LAN, WAN, or the
Internet, using standard TCP/IP protocols. Ethernet control provides for remote
selection of input and output ties, adjustment and control of audio input and
output levels, and advanced system diagnostics.
• RS-232 and RS-422 control port — Using serial commands, the CrossPoint 450
Plus 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 and RS-422 port
also makes it easy to install firmware updates.
• 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. 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 control panels and keypads — Provide the flexibility to control a
CrossPoint 450 Plus Series matrix switcher from a remote location.
• Rack-mountable metal enclosure — All CrossPoint 450 Plus Series matrix
switchers are housed in 19-inch wide metal enclosures.
• 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.
• Redundant power supplies — Primary and back-up power supplies are internally
mounted. The power supply system is configured to automatically switch over to a
spare hot power supply if the primary power supply fails. This means no loss of
functionality in the event of a primary power supply malfunction. |
