The CrossPoint Ultra 1212 is a 12x12
ultra-wideband matrix switcher designed to deliver exceptional performance in
the most demanding, very high resolution computer-video and stereo audio routing
systems. CrossPoint® Ultra sets a new standard for engineering excellence in all
critical measures of matrix switcher performance, including bandwidth, frequency
response, efficiency, reliability, power consumption, and control. CrossPoint
Ultra is ideal for complex AV routing applications that require efficient,
reliable operation at the highest computer-video resolutions without signal loss
or degradation.
Ultra-wideband performance
High demand applications require high performance signal routing. CrossPoint
Ultra 1212 matrix switchers provide a minimum of 525 MHz (-3dB) RGB bandwidth,
fully loaded.
CrossPoint Ultra combines this exceptional, ultra-wideband performance with
Ultra-flat frequency response of ±0.5 dB or less through the critical portion of
the bandwidth curve, from 0 to 130 MHz. This means that the matrix switcher is
virtually transparent to the AV signal path supporting the most demanding, high
resolution system designs with multiple levels of signal processing.
Ultra-low crosstalk
Crosstalk interference occurs when electrical signals "leak" from one component
or circuit board signal line to another due to improper shielding or isolation.
CrossPoint Ultra matrix switchers are engineered to achieve superb
channel-to-channel isolation of -56 dB or better at 100 MHz. This minimizes
signal leakage across video channels, and eliminates signal bleed-through that
can compromise critical imaging or high-security presentation environments.
Ultra-efficient power supply
Temperature has the highest impact on component life. Efficient enclosure design
and, in particular, the power supply, can drastically cut down on heat
generation and power consumption. CrossPoint Ultra matrix switchers use a
single, highly-efficient, cool-running power supply, allowing the utilization of
a fan-free enclosure. Whether you're considering thermal management in the
equipment rack, or silent operation in a noise-sensitive environment, CrossPoint
Ultra makes an excellent choice.
Ultra-low power consumption
CrossPoint Ultra is engineered for use in high-demand, rack-mount applications
with other AV signal processing devices. Through efficiency of design and the
careful selection of high-quality, long-life electronic components, CrossPoint
Ultra draws less than 40 watts at 120 VAC under full load, less than a standard
desk lamp. Low power consumption equates to less heat generation which
translates to a lower cost of ownership and an increased product lifespan.
Ultra-reliable architecture
CrossPoint Ultra represents Extron's 5th generation of CrossPoint design and
technological development, resulting in new design architecture that yields
higher performance, utilizes fewer boards and cables, and eliminates many of the
most common failure points. The result is optimum reliability around the clock,
year in and year out.
Ultra-flexible control
With so many makes and models of control systems available, you need a matrix
switcher that can work with any or all of them, and one that does not lock your
system design into a single closed, proprietary control protocol. That's why all
CrossPoint Ultra models come standard with front panel, RS-232/422 serial
control, and Ethernet control. The QuickSwitch™ front panel controller is always
available, whether it's for convenient system testing or day-to-day operation
without a control system.
The RS-232/422 serial control port utilizes Extron's popular SIS™ Simple
Instruction Set command protocol, allowing easy integration with virtually any
control system. The standard Ethernet port enables CrossPoint Ultra to be
controlled, monitored, and accessed from most IP-enabled control systems, or
from any authorized computer connected to a Local Area Network, Wide Area
Network, or the Internet. |

bandwidth, fully loaded, with many models providing 600 MHz (-3 dB) or more.
• Ultra-flat frequency response - ±0.5 dB from 0 to 130 MHz — CrossPoint Ultra
provides an ultra-flat frequency response of ±0.5 dB or less, through the
critical portion of the bandwidth curve, from 0 to 130 MHz. This means that the
matrix switcher is virtually transparent to the AV signal path for the most
demanding, high resolution system designs with multiple levels of signal
processing.
• Ultra-low crosstalk – (-56) dB or better at 100 MHz — CrossPoint Ultra is
engineered to achieve superb channel-to-channel isolation of -56 dB or better at
100 MHz.
• Ultra-low power consumption – Less than 55 watts at full load — Draws less
than 55 watts under full load for increased product life with very low cost of
operation.
• RGBHV switching — Switches separate horizontal and vertical sync to ensure
proper sync polarity, providing a more stable image.
• 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.
• Compatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, HDTV, component video, S-video, composite
video, and unbalanced/balanced stereo audio — Separate horizontal and vertical
sync ensures proper sync polarity, providing a more stable image.
• 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.
• HVA models switch both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio
• Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows users to set the level of gain or
