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
  • Internal Extron Everlast™ power supply — Provides worldwide power compatibility, with high‑demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating cost
  • Extron Everlast Power Supply is covered by a 7‑year parts and labor warranty
