Introduction  
About this Manual  
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the  
complete Extron family of full-function, medium- and large-sized, analog video  
matrix switchers, specifically:  
• CrossPoint 450 Plus large (matrix sizes from 24 inputs by 12 outputs to up to  
32 inputs by 32 outputs) ultra-wideband RGBHV and audio matrix switchers  
• CrossPoint Ultra small (matrix sizes 16 inputs by 16 outputs and smaller) ultra-  
wideband RGBHV and audio matrix switchers  
• MAV Plus broadcast quality HDTV/component video, S-video, and composite  
video and audio matrix switchers  
About the Matrix Switchers  
Matrix switchers distribute any input to any combination of outputs. The matrix  
switchers can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.  
The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex wideband  
(CrossPoint 450 Plus and CrossPoint Ultra, figure 1-1) or low resolution (MAV Plus,  
figure 1-2, on page 1-4) video and/or audio routing applications. Each input and  
output is individually isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to  
any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.  
All of the matrix switchers are available in a variety of matrix sizes (the matrix size  
is the number of inputs and outputs).  
CrossPoint 450 Plus and CrossPoint Ultra series switchers offer two models of each  
matrix size:  
• HVA for switching RGBHV video and two-channel stereo audio  
• HV for switching RGBHV video signals only  
MAV Plus series switchers offer multiple models of all matrix sizes, with one,  
two, or three (MAV Plus 1616 and smaller) video planes, to support different  
low resolution video formats (exceptions are noted in “MAV Plus switchers” on  
page 1-6):  
• HDA for switching component/HDTV video and two-channel stereo audio  
• HD for switching component/HDTV video signals only  
• SVA for switching S-video and two-channel stereo audio  
• SV for switching S-video signals only  
AV for switching composite video and two-channel stereo audio  
• V for switching composite video signals only  
• A for switching two-channel stereo audio only  
In this manual, the term “video model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus,  
CrossPoint Ultra, or MAV Plus switcher that switches video.  
N
In this manual, the term “audio model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus,  
CrossPoint Ultra, or MAV Plus switcher that switches audio.  
In this manual, the term “CrossPoint”, when “450 Plus” or “Ultra” is not  
specified refers to either the CrossPoint 450 Plus or the CrossPoint Ultra.  
All audio models, with the exception of the MAV Plus 128 AV RCA,  
input and output audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.  
The MAV Plus 128 AV RCA inputs and outputs audio on RCA connectors.  
For all switchers with video and audio, the audio switching can either be linked  
with the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway).

Figure 1-1 — Typical CrossPoint Ultra matrix switcher application  
Adjustable input audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences  
between audio inputs.  
Each matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet port, its  
rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port, or its front panel Configuration (RS-232) port  
(MAV Plus matrix sizes up to 1616 and CrossPoint Ultra only). The matrix switchers  
are programmed with Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS), a set of basic ASCII  
code commands that provide simple control through a control system or PC  
without programming long, obscure strings of code. SIS commands can be entered  
via either the Ethernet link or either serial link.  
The Ethernet port can be connected through a local area network (LAN) or wide  
area network (WAN).  
All models feature e-mail notification of maintenance or other concerned personnel  
concerning the status of the power supplies and fans and the loss or resumption of  
sync on individual inputs.

MAV Plus HDA and HD switchers can also route low resolution RGsB and RsGsBs  
video signals. HDA and HD switchers can also route multiple composite video  
planes or S-video and composite video. If used in this way, the various video  
planes cannot be broken away; the input signals on the Y, R-Y, and B-Y input BNCs  
must be routed to the same outputs.  
MAV Plus SVA and SV switchers can also be used to switch two planes of  
composite video. If used in this way, the two video planes cannot be broken away;  
the input signals on the luma and chroma input BNCs must be routed to the same  
outputs.  
The MAV Plus Series switchers have a bandwidth of 150 MHz (-3 dB).

Definitions  
The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout  
this manual:  
Tie — An input-to-output connection.  
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied  
to more than one input.)  
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.  
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the  
switcher (also called configuration 0)  
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global  
memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned  
to the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. Up to 20 or  
32 (depending on the number of input and output buttons) presets can be  
selected from the front panel for either saving or retrieving. When a preset  
is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. All models  
have 32 presets; on models with fewer than 32 input and output buttons,  
preset numbers that are too high to be available from the front panel are still  
accessible under serial port or Ethernet control.  
Features  
Video — All switchers input and output video on BNC connectors.

Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™) (CrossPoint) —  
In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations, it may be vital to  
know that sources are active and switching. Extron’s DSVP confirms that  
input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP  
provides instantaneous frequency feedback for composite sync or separate  
horizontal and vertical sync signals via the switcher’s serial ports or Ethernet  
port. The frequency information can be displayed on any control system  
or in a Windows®-based control program on a local-area network (LAN) or  
Internet (IP) connection (figure 1-3).

Rooming — Each switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to  
specific “rooms”, allowing them to have their own presets.  
Switching flexibility — Provides individually buffered, independent matrix  
switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway for audio models.  
Tie any input to any or all outputs  
Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs  
simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to  
source at the same time.  
Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input  
via front panel control or under Ethernet or serial port remote control.  
Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding  
video signal. This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any  
video signal simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio  
breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under Ethernet or  
serial port remote control.

Introduction, cont’d  
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of  
presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel  
or via the Ethernet or serial link. The serial links allow remote control via a  
PC or control system. The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with  
two levels of password protection.  
Front Panel Controller — The front panel controller supports input and  
output selection, I/O grouping, preset creation and selection, RGB delay,  
and audio gain and attenuation and volume control (audio models). The  
front panel features illuminated pushbuttons that can be labeled with text or  
graphics.  
Windows-based control program — For serial port or Ethernet remote  
control from a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides  
a graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The  
Windows-based control program also has an emulation mode that lets you  
create a switcher configuration file at the home office and then download it  
for use by the switcher on site.  
Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s  
SIS for easy programming and operation.  
Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote  
controllable, using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 remote control  
keypads. The remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile  
buttons for quick selection. Each MKP can be used for input-to-output  
switching, one-touch switching for a particular output. The MKP 3000 also  
can be used for selection of global presets.  
Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can  
be upgraded in the field via either serial port or the Ethernet port, without  
taking the switcher out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for  
download on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com and they can be installed  
using the Windows-based control program or built-in HTML pages.  
Labeling — Extron’s button label software lets you create labels to place in the front  
panel I/O buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps  
for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be  
made with any BrotherP-Touchor comparable labeler.  
Global memory presets — 20 or 32 (depending on the model) global memory  
presets are available on the front panel as a time-saving feature that lets you  
set up and store input/output configurations in advance. You can then recall  
those configurations, when needed, with a few simple steps. All 32 presets  
are available via serial port or Ethernet control.  
Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19" wide rack.  
Three front panel security lockout modes (Executive modes) — If a matrix  
switcher is installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized  
personnel may be a problem, either of two security lockout modes can be  
implemented (the third mode is unlocked). When a front panel locked mode  
is enabled, a special button combination or SIS command is required to  
unlock the front panel controller and make the front panel fully operational.  
I/O grouping — Allows the matrix to be virtually divided into smaller  
sub-switchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping  
limits the selection of inputs and outputs to members of the same group.  
I/O grouping allows specific outputs, such as those designated for a specific  
purpose, to be grouped together.

Power — The matrix switchers’ 100 VAC to 240 VAC, internal power supply(s)  
provides worldwide power compatibility.  
Primary and redundant power supplies —  
(CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus 2412, 2424, 3216, and 3232 switchers only)  
Includes two internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, switching power  
supplies, which provide worldwide power compatibility.  
The power supply circuitry is configured to automatically switch over from  
the primary supply to the hot redundant supply in the case of a failure.  
The hot redundant power supply means high reliability for the system and  
no loss of functionality should the primary supply fail; the redundant power  
supply immediately assumes the load.  
Power supply status LEDs —  
(CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus 2412, 2424, 3216, and 3232 switchers only)  
Front panel LEDs indicate the status of the primary and redundant power  
supplies.

UL guidelines  
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation  
of the matrix switcher into a rack (figure 2-1).  
1.  
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or  
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack  
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider  
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum  
122 °F (50 °C) (CrossPoint) or 113 °F (45 °C) (MAV Plus) ambient temperature  
(Tma) specified by Extron.  
2.  
Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such  
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not  
compromised.  
3.  
4.  
Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such  
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.  
Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the  
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits  
might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate  
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when  
addressing this concern.  
5.  
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted  
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to  
supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use  
of power strips.

Rear Panel Views  
All connectors for all switchers are on the rear panel. Figure 2-2 through figure 2-11  
show a representative sampling of all of the matrix switchers described in this  
manual. See “Rear Panel Connections”, on page 2-9, for connecting cables to the  
rear panel connectors.  
Use Electrostatic discharge precautions (be electrically grounded)  
when making connections. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage  
equipment, even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.  
C
Remove system power before making all connections.

Rear Panel Connections  
Use Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions (be electrically grounded)  
C
when making connections. Electrostatic discharge can damage equipment,  
even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.  
Remove system power before making all connections.  
C
Video input and output (video switchers)  
The switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the  
N
switcher is in the same format as the input.  
RGBHV (CrossPoint switchers)  
The switcher can connect to up to as many as 32 (CrossPoint 450 Plus) or 16  
(CrossPoint Ultra) RGBHV video sources, depending on the model. The switcher  
can output to as many as 32 or 16 RGBHV video devices, depending on the model.  
On all CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers and CrossPoint Ultra matrix sizes of  
8 x 16 and larger, the connectors for each video plane are grouped together (all  
of the red inputs grouped together, all of the green inputs grouped, and so on).  
Ensure that you connect the input on each video plane to the corresponding  
connector in the correct group (see figure 2-12).  
N
Both CrossPoint models can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component  
video, S-video, or composite video by using four, three, two, or one BNC(s). If  
switching a video format other than RGBHV, ensure that the same video planes  
(R, G, B, H/HV, and/or V) are used on the switcher output as on the input.  
N
Video inputs — Connect RGB video, component/HDTV video, S-video,  
or composite video inputs, as applicable, to these BNC connectors for each  
input. Figure 2-12 shows how to connect the RGB video format to each  
configuration.

Video (MAV Plus switchers)  
Video input and output connections are made with female BNC connectors.  
N
Some video input and output devices do not have BNC video output connectors.  
For these cases, a suitable cable or connector adapter is necessary. The part  
number for the Extron RCA-to-BNC adapter is 10-229-01.  
The connectors for each video plane are grouped together (for example, for  
component/HDTV switchers, all of the Y inputs grouped together, all of the R-Y  
inputs grouped, and so on). Ensure that you connect the input on each video  
plane to the corresponding connector in the correct group (figure 2-13, through  
figure 2-15, below and on the next page).  
N
The switcher can connect to up to as many as 32 S-video or composite video or up  
to 16 component/HDTV video, S-video, or composite video sources, depending on  
the model. The switcher can output to as many as 32 S-video or composite video or  
up to 16 component video, S-video, or composite video devices, depending on the  
model.  
Video inputs — Connect component/HDTV video (figure 2-13),  
a
S-video (figure 2-14), or composite video (figure 2-15) inputs, as applicable, to  
these BNC connectors for each input.  
Video outputs — Connect component/HDTV video (figure 2-13),  
b
S-video (figure 2-14), or composite video (figure 2-15) displays, as applicable,  
or other devices to these BNC connectors for each output. Figure 2-15 shows  
how to connect the various video formats to each MAV Plus configuration.  
The S-video (figure 2-14) and composite video (figure 2-15) connection drawings

Sync termination switches (CrossPoint)  
Sync termination switches — The RGB (CrossPoint) matrix switchers have  
c
input Sync termination switches on the rear panel (figure 2-16) that provide a  
way to condition non-TTL sync levels greater than 5 Vp-p. Sync termination  
enables the sync to be properly passed from input to selected output(s).  
The matrix switchers have two sets of sync termination switches; one for  
horizontal or combined sync and a second set for vertical sync.  
The CrossPoint 450 Plus matrix switchers have Sync termination switches for  
inputs 1 through 8.  
The CrossPoint Ultra matrix switchers have Sync termination switches for  
inputs 1 through 4.

Figure 2-16 — Sync termination switches  
Each switch provides the option of selecting either 510 ohms or 75 ohms.  
The 75 ohms position is required only for an input with non-TTL sync, greater  
than 5 V p-p. The normal position is 510 ohms.  
An input that produces an out of sync display, a display that is rolling vertically  
and/or tearing horizontally, could indicate a non-TTL sync input.  
N
A device that is known to output non-TTL sync levels (greater than 5V p-p)  
should be connected to one of the inputs with sync termination switches, and the  
switches for that input should be set to the 75 ohm position. If you are not sure,  
check the specifications in the user’s manual for the input device.

Audio input and output (audio models)  
By default, the audio ties follow the video ties. Audio breakaway, which  
can be activated via the front panel or under Ethernet or serial port control,  
allows you to select from any one of the audio input sources and route it  
separately from its corresponding video source. See chapter 3, “Operation”,  
chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”, and chapter 6,  
“HTML Operation” for details.

Each input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for  
balanced or unbalanced stereo audio input. Connectors are  
included with each switcher, but you must supply the audio  
cable. See figure 2-17 to wire a connector for the appropriate input type.  
Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the  
connector. High impedance is generally over 800 ohms.

See chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, for definitions of the SIS commands  
(serial commands to control the switcher via this connector) and chapter 5,  
“Matrix Software” for details on how to install and use the control software.  
The switcher can support either the RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication  
protocol, and operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates.

“Operation”, to configure the RS-232/RS-422 port from the front panel.  
If desired, connect an MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel to the  
switcher’s RS-232/RS-422 connector. Refer to the “MKP 2000 Remote Control  
Panel User’s Manual” or the “MKP 3000 Remote Control Panel User’s Manual” for  
details.  
Ethernet  
Ethernet port — If desired, for IP control of the system, connect the matrix  
switcher to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN, via this RJ-45 connector.  
You can use a PC to control the networked switcher with SIS  
commands from anywhere in the world. You can also control  
the switcher from a PC that is either running Extron’s windows-  
based control program or that has downloaded HTML pages  
from the switcher.  
i
Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs  
indicate the status of the Ethernet connection. The Link LED  
indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet  
LAN. This LED should light steadily. The Act LED indicates  
transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED  
should flicker as the switcher communicates.

Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring  
It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly  
terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6,  
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated  
with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length 328' (100 m).  
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will not support  
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.  
N
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.  
The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both  
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet),  
half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.  
10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.  
100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.  
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover  
cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure 2-21).

N
External sync (MAV Plus video models)  
The MAV Plus switcher switches between inputs during the vertical interval  
period, resulting in glitch-free video switching. The MAV switcher can use an  
external signal to synchronize switching during the vertical interval. Without the  
external sync locking feature, switching between inputs can result in a brief rolling  
(sync loss) or a brief change in the picture size.  
Ext(ernal) Sync connector — Connect an external sync signal to this BNC  
connection for genlocking the video signal in broadcast or other sync-critical  
applications.  
k
Figure 2-22 shows a basic external sync configuration. The Ext Sync connector  
receives the timing signal. A tee connector on the connector allows the  
signal to be passed on to another video device, if required. Terminate the tee  
connector if desired.

N
This port is RS-232 only, with its default protocols as follows:  
9600 baud  
1 stop bit  
• no parity  
• no flow control  
8 data bits  
The maximum distances from the matrix switcher to the controlling device  
can vary up to 200 feet (61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud rates,  
environment, and output levels (from the switcher and the controlling device)  
all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50 feet (15 m) are typically  
not a problem. In some cases the matrix switcher may be capable of serial  
communications via RS-232 up to 250 feet (76 m) away.

Operation  
The operation of the CrossPoint 450 Plus, CrossPoint Ultra, and MAV Plus  
switchers is very similar. There are two exceptions:  
N
The video selection button is labeled “RGBHV” on the CrossPoint models  
and “Video” on the MAV Plus switchers.  
The MAV Plus switchers do not offer RGB delay switching.  
Front Panel Controls and Indicators  
The front panel controls (figure 3-1 through figure 3-3) are grouped into two sets.  
The input and output buttons are grouped on the left side of the control panel. The  
control buttons and video/audio (I/O) selection buttons are grouped on the right  
side of the panel.  
While the number of inputs and outputs varies depending on the size and model  
of the matrix switcher, there are only three front panel arrangements: 12 input  
buttons by 8 output buttons (figure 3-1), 16 by 16 (figure 3-2), and 32 by 32  
(figure 3-3). See the table below to identify the front panel arrangements used by  
each switcher model.  
N
On smaller matrix switchers, the larger-numbered buttons are not used for  
input and output selection, although they are used to select and indicate preset  
numbers, indicate the input audio level, and indicate the output audio volume.

Front Panel Operations  
The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample  
procedures for the following actions:  
Definitions  
The following terms, which apply to all Extron matrix switchers, are used  
throughout this manual:  
Tie — An input-to-output connection.  
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied  
to more than one input.)  
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.  
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the  
switcher (also called configuration 0)  
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global  
memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to  
the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. When a preset is  
retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.  
All models have 32 presets; on models with fewer than 32 input and output  
buttons, preset numbers that are too high to be available from the front panel  
are still accessible under serial port or Ethernet control.  
Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as  
determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of  
which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.  
Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room  
that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it  
becomes the current configuration.

Operation, cont’d  
Front panel security lockouts  
In the procedural descriptions that follow, it is assumed that the switcher is in Lock  
mode 0 (fully unlocked). The following two Lock modes are also available:  
Lock mode 1 — All changes are locked from the front panel (except for setting  
Lock mode 2). Some functions can be viewed.  
Lock mode 2 — Advanced features are locked and can be viewed only. Basic  
functions are unlocked.  
The switcher is shipped from the factory in Lock mode 2.  
N
See “Setting the front panel locks (Executive modes)” on page 3-52 for a detailed list  
of basic and advanced functions and the procedure to set the various front panel  
locks.  
Power  
Apply power by connecting the power cord to an AC source. The switcher  
performs a self-test that flashes the front panel button indicators green, red, and  
amber and then turns them off. (The order in which the colors are displayed  
depends on the model.) An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all I/O  
and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination. The lit/unlit  
status of the RGBHV or Video button and the Audio button is defined by the  
system configuration as follows:  
Audio models — RGBHV/Video and Audio both lit  
Models without audio — RGBHV/Video lit and Audio unlit  
The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When  
power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets  
remain intact.  
If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate.  
If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support  
Hotline.

Creating a configuration  
The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. Change  
the current configuration as follows:  
1.  
Press the Esc button to clear any input button indicators, output button  
indicators, or control button indicators that may be lit.  
2.  
Select to configure video, audio, or both by pressing the RGBHV  
(CrossPoint switchers) or Video (MAV Plus switchers) button and/or Audio  
button.  
3.  
Select the desired input and output(s) by pressing the input and output  
buttons.  
Input buttons light amber (matrix sizes up to 1616) or green (matrix sizes  
above 1616). Output buttons light or blink one of the following colors:  
Amber to indicate video and audio ties  
Green to indicate video only ties  
Red to indicate audio only ties.  
To indicate potential ties, output buttons blink the appropriate color  
when an input is selected.  
To indicate current ties, output buttons light steadily the appropriate  
color when an input is selected.  
To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated lit output  
buttons. To indicate potential unties, output buttons blink the  
appropriate color when an output is deselected but not untied from the  
input.  
4.  
5.  
Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie or to break an existing tie.  
Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create or clear additional ties until the desired  
configuration is complete.  
N • Only one video input and one audio input can be tied to an output.  
If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output was  
previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer  
tie.  
If an input with no tie is selected, only that input’s button lights.  
When the When the RGBHV (CrossPoint switchers) or Video (MAV Plus  
switchers) button and Audio button are lit, if an input with an audio tie but  
no video tie is selected, the input’s button lights amber (matrix sizes up to  
1616) or green (matrix sizes 3232 and above) and the output button lights  
the appropriate color (amber, green, or red).  
As each input and output is selected, the associated output button blinks the  
appropriate color to indicate a tentative tie. Buttons for output(s) that were  
already tied to the input light the appropriate color steadily. Outputs that are  
already tied can be left on, along with new blinking selections, or toggled off  
by pressing the associated output button.  
If you press the input button for an I/O grouped input and then try to select  
an output in a different group, you cannot select the associated output button  
(the action is ignored). The associated input button remains lit.

I/O grouping  
I/O grouping is a matrix switcher feature that allows you to subdivide the front  
panel controls of the matrix into four smaller functional sub-switchers and limit tie  
creation using the front panel only. Inputs and outputs can be assigned to one of  
four groups or not assigned to any group.  
When you are creating ties on the front panel, inputs and outputs that are assigned  
to a group can be tied only to other outputs and inputs within the same group. For  
example, a front panel operator cannot tie an input that is assigned to group 1 to an  
output that is assigned to group 2. Ungrouped inputs and outputs can be switched  
to outputs and inputs in any group. Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied  
to an output in group 2) can be created under serial port or Ethernet control.  
Suggested applications for the I/O grouping feature include:  
Segregating specific video formats to prevent an input in one video format  
from being inadvertently applied to an output device that supports another  
video format (figure 3-29)  
Segregating input and output devices that are in separate rooms  
Isolating video from being displayed on specific output devices for  
operational security reasons

Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2) can  
be created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.  
Ties that were created before I/O groups were created remain valid, even if  
they include inputs and outputs in different groups.  
Presets can be created under serial port or Ethernet control that tie inputs  
and outputs across group boundaries. These presets are selectable from the  
front panel.  
An input or output can be assigned to only one group. If you assign an  
input or output to a group and that input or output is already assigned to a  
different group, the older grouping is discarded in favor of the new grouping.  
You can break audio away from the video for a given input or output  
(assigned to different groups) by isolating only video or only audio using the  
front panel RGBHV (CrossPoint/Video (MAV Plus) and/or Audio buttons  
after you select I/O Group mode (between steps 2 and 3).  
Audio breakaway across different groups can be confusing when you are  
operating the front panel. Breakaway grouping is not displayed by the  
Matrix Switchers Control Program, HTML pages, or SIS commands; and is  
not recommended (breakaway ties, once created, are displayed).  
For I/O groups to have any function, at least two groups must be created.

Setting RGB delay (CrossPoint switchers)  
The CrossPoint 450 Plus and CrossPoint Ultra switchers can briefly blank the  
RGB (video) output while it switches to the new input’s sync source, and then  
switches the RGB signals. This allows a brief delay for the display to adjust to the  
selected input’s sync timing before displaying the new picture, which will appear  
without glitches. RGB delay, also known as Triple-Action Switching or video mute  
switching, is user selectable from 0 to 5 seconds, in half-second increments.  
The RGB delay interval can be set on the front panel or by using either serial port  
or the Ethernet port and either the SIS, Windows control program, or HTML pages  
(see chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”, and chapter 6,  
“HTML operation”. Specify the RGB delay interval for a specific output on the  
front panel as follows:  
RGB delay is protected when front panel lock mode 2 is selected. You can view

Using presets  
The current configuration (configuration 0) can be saved as a preset in any one of  
32 preset memory addresses. Preset locations are assigned to the input buttons and  
(where necessary) output buttons. Up to 20 or 32 (depending on the number of  
input and output buttons) presets can be selected from the front panel to be either  
saved or retrieved. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current  
configuration.  
N
Only the audio and video ties are stored and recalled; RGB delay and audio  
gain and volume settings are not saved, and they do not change when a preset  
is recalled.  
Presets cannot be viewed from the front panel unless recalled as the current  
configuration. Presets can be viewed using Extron’s Windows-based control  
The current configuration and all presets are stored in non-volatile memory.  
When power is removed and restored, the current configuration is still active  
and all presets are retained.  
When a preset is recalled, it replaces the current configuration, which is lost  
unless it is also stored as a preset. The recalled preset overwrites all of the  
current configuration ties in favor of the preset configuration ties.  
All models have 32 presets; on models with fewer than 32 input and output  
buttons, preset numbers that are too high to be available from the front panel  
are still accessible under serial port or Ethernet control.  
Figure 3-42 shows the presets associated with the two input and output  
button configurations for the CrossPoint and MAV matrix switchers.

In the following example, an audio level is viewed and adjusted. The steps show  
the front panel indications that result from your action.  
Audio gain and attenuation is displayed differently on different models.  
Because of the different gain and attenuation display schemes, the input audio  
levels that result from the following example are shown three times: as displayed  
on a 32-button switcher, on a 16-button switcher, and on an 8-button switcher. The  
32-button displays show the actions that led up to the display. For simplicity, the  
16-button and 8-button figures show the attenuation display only, not the actions  
that lead up to it.

Viewing and adjusting the output volume (audio models)  
On models with audio, the audio level of each local output can be displayed  
and adjusted through a range of 100% (no attenuation) to 0% (maximum [76 dB]  
attenuation). The audio level can be adjusted from the front panel or under  
serial port or Ethernet control. The default volume is 100% (no attenuation).  
Output volume is protected when front panel Lock mode 2 is selected. You can  
view the volume in Lock mode 2 but you cannot adjust it from the front panel.  
See “Setting the front panel Locks (Executive modes)” on page 3-52.

Press and release an output button to select an output. The input buttons  
display the volume level for the selected output. The switchers indicate the  
volume differently, depending on number of input buttons, but as a general  
rule, the more buttons that are lit, the higher the volume. The fewer buttons  
that are lit, the lower the volume.

There is one audio volume level setting per local output. The audio level  
setting is shared by the left and right audio inputs.  
The audio volume levels are stored in non-volatile memory. When power is  
removed and restored, the audio level settings are retained.  
Exiting Audio mode by pressing the Audio button always returns the I/O  
buttons to RGBHV (CrossPoint) or Video (MAV Plus) lit green and Audio  
lit red.  
Pressing the Enter or Preset button also exits Audio mode. Pressing the  
Preset button changes to Recall Preset mode.

Reading the displayed volume  
This section is a detailed look at reading the output volume display on the  
N
switcher’s front panel. If you do not need to read the exact value of the volume  
setting, skip this section.  
There are 65 steps of volume attenuation, with 1 dB per step (button push), except  
for 0-to-1, which is 13 dB. At maximum attenuation, no input buttons are lit,  
76 dB of attenuation is applied, and the audio output is effectively muted. At no  
attenuation, all input buttons are lit and the output volume is equal to the input  
signal plus any gain or attenuation that is applied to that specific input using the  
indicate the volume differently, depending on number (12, 16, or 32) of input  
buttons. See the table on the next page to read the volume display for each display  
scheme.  
For each display scheme, the input buttons blink or light sequentially to indicate  
the approximate volume of the selected output. Volume is defined as a percentage  
of the input audio signal that is applied to the output. From 0% of volume, the first  
Esc ( ) button push applies 5.5% of the input audio signal. From 5.5% on, each Esc  
>
( ) push applies 1.5% more of the input audio signal to the output:  
>
Push Esc ( ) button again — 5.5% + 1.5% = 7% volume  
>
Switchers with 12 and 16 input buttons — Indicated by the Input 1  
button blinking slowly.  
Switchers with 32 input buttons — Indicated by the Input 1 button lit

Push Esc ( ) button twice more — 7% + 1.5% + 1.5% = 10% volume

Another way to view the volume level is to think in terms of the attenuation that  
is applied to the output. Attenuation reduction is indicated by the lit or blinking  
input buttons: when fewer input buttons are lit, attenuation is greater (and the  
volume is quieter).  
At minimum volume, all input buttons are unlit or background illuminated  
and 76 dB of attenuation is applied to the output. The audio output is  
effectively muted.  
The first step of volume increase causes the Input 1 button to blink (slowly, in  
the case of switchers with 12 input buttons). Attenuation is reduced by 13 dB  
(63 dB of attenuation is applied to the output).  
The second step of volume increase reduces the attenuation by an additional  
1 dB (62 dB of attenuation is applied to the output). (On switchers with 32  
input buttons the Input 1 button lights steadily.)  
Successive steps of volume increase cause consecutive buttons to first blink,  
then light steadily. (On switchers with 32 input buttons, each consecutive  
button indicates a 1 dB attenuation reduction when blinking and a 2 dB  
attenuation reduction when lit.)  
For example: When lit steadily, the Input 3 button indicates the following,  
depending on the number of input buttons the switcher has:  
Switchers with 12 input buttons — 47 dB of attenuation when compared  
to the Input 3 button blinking quickly (48 dB to 50 dB of attenuation).  
The blinking Input 4 button (45 dB to 46 dB of attenuation) is at least 2 dB  
less than the fast blinking Input 3 button (48 dB – 46 dB) and at most 5 dB  
less (50 dB – 45 dB).  
Switchers with 16 input buttons — 52 dB of attenuation when compared  
to the Input 3 button blinking (53 dB to 55 dB of attenuation). The  
blinking Input 4 button (49 dB to 51 dB of attenuation) is at least 2 dB less  
than the fast blinking Input 3 button (53 dB – 51 dB) and at most and at  
most 6 dB less (55 dB – 49 dB).  
Switchers with 32 input buttons — 58 dB of attenuation when compared  
to the Input 3 button blinking (59 dB of attenuation). The blinking Input  
4 button (57 dB of attenuation) is 2 dB less than the steadily-lit Input 2  
button (59 dB - 57 dB).  
On switcher with 32 input buttons, the buttons’ volume indications are  
additive.  
For example: Input 1 lit (23 dB [22 dB + 1 dB] of attenuation reduction), Input  
2 lit (2 dB [1 dB + 1 dB] of attenuation reduction), and Input 3 blinking (1  
dB of attenuation reduction) indicate that the output attenuation has been  
reduced by a total of 25 dB (22 dB + 2 dB + 1 dB = 25 dB).  
At full volume, no attenuation is applied to the output and all input buttons  
are lit steadily.  
See the table on page 3-46 to read the volume display.

Example 11: Viewing and adjusting an output volume level  
In the following example, the audio output volume is viewed and adjusted. The  
steps show the front panel indications that result from your action.  
Audio output volume is displayed differently on different models. See the table on  
page 3-46.  
Because of the different volume display schemes, the output volume levels that  
result from the following example are shown three times: as displayed on a  
32-input button switcher, on a 16-input button switcher, and on a 12-input  
button switcher. The 32-button displays show the actions that led up to the  
display. For simplicity, the 16-button and 12-button figures show the volume  
display only, not the actions that lead up to it.

product). The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint  
pen, or Extron Tweeker to access it.  
See the following table for a summary of the modes.  
Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result  
in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or a  
controller reboot.

performed, update the  
switcher’s firmware to the  
latest version. Do not operate  
the switcher firmware version  
that results from the mode  
1 reset. If you want to use  
the factory default firmware,  
you must upload that version  
again. See chapter 5, “Matrix  
Software”, for details on  
uploading firmware.  
If you do not want to update firmware, or  
you performed a mode 1 reset by mistake,  
cycle power to the switcher to return to the  
firmware version that was running before  
the mode 1 reset. Use the 0Q SIS command  
to confirm that the factory default firmware  
is no longer running (look for the asterisk

Optimizing the Audio (Audio Models)  
Each individual input audio level can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to  
+24 dB, so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the  
best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. Adjust the audio gain and attenuation as  
follows:  
1.  
Connect audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the audio outputs to  
and the outputs balanced.  
2.  
3.  
Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.  
Switch among the inputs (see “Creating a configuration”, in this chapter),  
listening to the audio with a critical ear or measuring the output audio level  
with test equipment, such as a VU meter.  
4.  
5.  
approximate output level is the same for all selected inputs.  
Troubleshooting  
This section gives recommendations on what to do if you have problems operating  
the switcher and it describes an actual image problem that Extron has encountered.  
General checks  
1.  
Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The switcher is  
receiving power if one of the front panel Power Supply LEDs is lit green.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
Check to see if one or more outputs are muted.  
Ensure an active input is selected for output on the switcher.  
Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.  
Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.  
Call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline if necessary.  
Plasma display S-video problem (CrossPoint switchers)  
Extron has encountered a problem when a CrossPoint 450 Plus or CrossPoint Ultra  
switcher routes S-video that is output by some video conference codecs. Some  
codecs change the DC offset on the chrominance (C) so that it is very different from  
the level on the luminance (Y). This can cause a plasma display to come up in the  
wrong size mode.  
With the matrix switcher taken out of the system, the plasma works fine. It looks  
like a problem with the matrix switcher, but it is not. The matrix switcher boosts  
the bad codec output, which makes the plasma go to the wrong setting.  
Solution: Try placing an Extron video DC block adapter, part #26-495-02, on the  
luminance (Y) input to the switcher from the codec.

Configuration Worksheets  
Rather than trying to remember the configuration for each preset, use worksheets  
to record this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on page 3-63  
(32-input button and -output button switchers) and page 3-65 (16-button switchers)  
and use one for each preset configuration The worksheets accommodate all of the  
CrossPoint and MAV Plus models. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and  
outputs. Use different colors for video and audio.  
Worksheet example 1: System equipment  
Figure 3-84 shows a worksheet for a CrossPoint 450 Plus 2424 HVA in a fictional  
organization with the system hardware annotated. Inputs 10, 11, and 21 through  
24 have no connections in this organization, so they have been crossed out on the  
worksheet. A CrossPoint 450 Plus 2424 does not have inputs 25 through 32, so they  
are crossed out. Similarly, outputs 7, 14, 15, 16, and 25 through 32 are crossed out.

Serial Ports  
The switchers have two serial ports that can be connected to a host device such as a  
computer running the HyperTerminal utility, an RS-232 capable PDA, or a control  
system. These ports make serial control of the switcher possible. The serial ports  
are:  
• The rear panel Remote (RS-232 or RS-422) port, a 9-pin D female connector  
• The front panel Configuration (RS-232) port, a 2.5 mm mini stereo jack  
The default protocol for both ports is as follows:  
• 9600 baud  
• 1 stop bit  
• no parity  
• no flow control  
• 8-bit  
The ports can be configured to operate at the 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud  
rate.  
These two ports are independent of one another. A front panel Configuration  
port connection and a rear panel Remote port connection can both be active at  
the same time.  
N
The switcher can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates, but  
Extron recommends leaving these ports at 9600 baud only.

Ethernet (LAN) Port  
The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher can be connected to an Ethernet  
LAN or WAN. Communication between the switcher and the controlling device  
is via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The Telnet port can be changed, if  
necessary, via SIS. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using  
a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN. The SIS commands and behavior  
of the product are identical to the commands and behavior the product exhibits  
when you are communicating with it via a serial port.  
Ethernet connection  
The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover  
cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure 4-3).  
Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the  
CrossPoint or MAV Plus switcher.  
Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the CrossPoint or MAV Plus  
switcher to an Ethernet LAN.

Default IP addresses  
To access the CrossPoint or MAV Plus switcher via the LAN port, you need the  
Extron IP address, and may need the subnet mask and the gateway address. If the  
IP address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters,  
you can determine the actual numeric IP address using the ping (ICMP) utility (see  
appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, for more details). If the addresses have not  
been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:  
• IP address  
192.168.254.254  
• Gateway address 0.0.0.0

Establishing a connection  
Establish a network connection to a CrossPoint or MAV Plus switcher as follows:  
1.  
Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the switcher’s IP address.  
If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-  
specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.  
N
The switcher responds with a copyright message including the date, the name  
of the product, firmware version, part number, and the current date/time.  
If the switcher is not password-protected, the device is ready to accept SIS  
commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.  
N
N
If the switcher is password-protected, a passwordprompt appears below the  
copyright message.  
2.  
If the switcher is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or  
user password.  
If the password is accepted, the switcher responds with Login Useror  
Login Administrator.  
If the password is not accepted, the Passwordprompt reappears.  
Connection Timeouts  
The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time of no communications.  
By default, this timeout value is set to 5 minutes but the value can be changed. See  
the Configure port timeout commands on page 4-25.  
Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically  
issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long  
idle periods, Extron recommends disconnecting the socket and reopening the  
connection when another command must be sent.  
N
Number of connections  
A CrossPoint or MAV Plus switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP  
connections, including all http sockets and Telnet connections. When the  
connection limit is reached, the switcher accepts no new connections until some  
have been closed. No error message or indication is given that the connection limit  
has been reached. To maximize performance of an IP Link device, the number of  
connections should stay low and unnecessary open sockets should be closed.

Verbose Mode  
Telnet connections to a CrossPoint or MAV Plus switcher can be used to monitor  
for changes that occur on the switcher, such as front panel operations and SIS  
commands from other Telnet sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive  
change notices from the switcher, the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3.  
See the Set verbose modecommand on page 4-25. In verbose mode 1 or 3, the  
Telnet socket reports changes in messages that resemble SIS command responses.  
Host-to-Switcher Instructions  
The switcher accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through either serial  
port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do  
not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence.  
Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line  
feed (CR/LF =  
is one or more characters.  
), which signals the end of the response character string. A string  
]
Switcher-Initiated Messages  
When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the switcher responds  
by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below  
(underlined).  
(c) Copyright 2007, Extron Electronics CP 300 450 MAV IP, Vx.xx, 60-nnn-01 {day,  
date, time}  
]
— or —  
(c) Copyright 2008, Extron Electronics CP Ultra IP, Vx.xx, 60-nnn-01 {day,  
date, time}  
]
The switcher initiates the copyright message when it is first powered on or when  
connection via Internet protocol (IP) is established. Vx.xx is the firmware version  
number and 60-nnn-nn is the switcher part number.  
{Day, date, time} are reported only if the connection is via the LAN port.  
N
Password:  
]
The switcher initiates the password message immediately after the copyright  
message when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet and the  
switcher is password protected. This message means that the switcher requires an  
administrator or user level password before it will perform the commands entered  
via this link. The switcher repeats the password message response for every entry  
other than a valid password until a valid password is entered.  
Login Administrator  
]
]
Login User  
]
]
The switcher initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user  
password has been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same,  
the switcher defaults to administrator privileges.  
Qik  
]
The switcher initiates the Qik message when a front panel switching operation has  
occurred.

The switcher initiates the Spr message when a preset has been saved from the front  
panel. nn is the preset number.  
Rprnn  
]
The switcher initiates the Rpr message when a preset has been recalled from the  
front panel. nn is the preset number.  
Innn•Audxx  
]
The switcher initiates the Aud message when a front panel input audio level change  
has occurred. nn is the input number and xx is the dB level.  
OutnnVolxx  
]
The switcher initiates the Vol message when a front panel output audio volume  
change has occurred. nn is the output number and xx is the volume level.  
Vmtnnx  
]
The switcher initiates the Vmt message when a video output mute is toggled on  
or off from the front panel. nn” is the output number, • is a space, and “x” is the  
mute status: 1 = on, 0 = off.  
Amtnnx  
]
The switcher initiates the Amt message when an audio or RS-232 output mute is  
toggled on or off from the front panel. nn is the output number, • is a space, and x  
is the mute status: 1 = on, 0 = off.  
Exen  
]
The switcher initiates the Exe message when executive mode is toggled on or off  
from the front panel. n is the executive mode: 0, 1, or 2.  
Switcher Error Responses  
When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it  
performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher  
is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains  
invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error  
response codes are:  
E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large)  
E10 — Invalid command  
E11 — Invalid preset number  
E12 — Invalid output number (too large)  
E13 — Invalid value (out of range)  
E14 — Illegal command for this configuration  
E17 — Timeout (caused only by direct write of global presets)  
E21 — Invalid room number  
E22 — Busy  
E24 — Priviledge violation (Users have access to all view and read  
commands (other than the Adminstrator password), and can  
create ties, presets, and video and audio mutes  
E25 — Device not present  
E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded  
E27 — Invalid event number  
E28 — Bad filename / file not found

Direct write process —  
The direct write of a global preset should always be preceded by a clear global preset ties command of that same  
preset number, as shown below. In a directly-written preset, each output position’s tied input (or no tied input) remains  
unchanged unless overwritten or cleared.  
N
If you do not clear the ties in a global preset number before you directly write a global preset to that number, ties that  
are part of the previous version of the specified preset with the same number can unexpectedly become part of the newly-  
created preset.

Matrix Software  
Matrix Switchers Control Program  
The Windows®-based Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program communicates  
with the switcher via the Ethernet LAN port, the rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422  
port, and the front panel Configuration (RS-232) port (matrix sizes up to 1616)  
to provide an easy way to set up ties and sets of ties. The program is compatible  
with Windows 2000, Windows XP, and later. Updates to these programs can be  
downloaded from the Extron Web site (http://www.extron.com).  
Installing the software  
The program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM, disk B.  
Install the software as follows:  
For full functionality, install both of the following programs:  
N
The Matrix Switchers Control Program  
The Firmware Loader  
1.  
Insert the CD-ROM into the drive. The installation program should start  
automatically. If it does not self-start, run Launch.exe from the CD.  
The Extron software CD window appears (figure 5-1).  
Figure 5-1 — Software CD window

3.  
Click the Software tab (figure 5-1).  
Scroll to the desired program and click Install (figure 5-2).

Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the installation of the Matrix  
Switchers Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\ Matrix_  
Switchers directory, and it places the following four icons into a group folder  
named “Extron Electronics\Matrix Switchers”:

Besides the LAN port, the CrossPoint or MAV switcher can support remote  
control via either the rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 Remote port or the front  
panel Configuration port (matrix sizes up to 1616).  
N
Remote RS-232/RS-422 port — The port can be configured for either the  
RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication protocol and operate at 9600, 19200,  
38400, or 115200 baud. See “Selecting the rear panel Remote port protocol and  
baud rate” in chapter 3, “Operation”, to configure the rear panel port from the  
front panel.  
Configuration port (matrix sizes up to 1616 only) — The port supports  
RS-232 serial communication protocol only. The port can operate at 9600,  
19200, 38400, or 115200 baud, but Extron recommends leaving this port  
configure either port using an SIS command.  
Software operation via Ethernet  
When a CrossPoint or MAV switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, up  
to 200 users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the Matrix Switchers Control  
Program. See “Ethernet” in chapter 2, “Installation”, for installation details.  
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two  
levels of password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full  
access to all CrossPoint or MAV switching capabilities and editing functions. Users  
can select inputs and outputs, set and recall presets, and view all settings with  
the exception of passwords. If the same password or no password is required for  
logging on, all personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions  
that exceed user privileges are grayed out in the Matrix Switchers Control Program  
when the operator is logged on as a user.  
Ethernet protocol settings  
The IP Settings/Options screen (figure 5-7 on page 5-7) provides a location for  
viewing and, if connected via the RS-232 link or if logged on via the LAN port as an

Using the Matrix Switcher Control software  
Many items found in the Matrix Switchers Control Program are also accessible  
via front panel controls (see chapter 3, ”Operation”) and under SIS control (see  
chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”). The Matrix Switcher+ Help Program provides  
information on settings and on how to use the control program, itself.  
1.  
To run the Matrix Switchers Control Program, click Start >  
Programs > Extron Electronics > Matrix Switchers >  
MATRIX Switcher + Control Pgm.  
The Comm Port Selection window (figure 5-3) appears.  
Figure 5-3 — Comm port selection window  
2.  
Choose the comm port that is connected to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher’s  
rear panel Remote port or to the front panel Config port (matrix sizes up to  
1616), IP [LAN], or Emulate.  
If you selected a comm port, check the baud rate  
displayed in the comm port selection window. If you  
need to change the baud rate, click on the Baud button  
and double-click on the desired baud rate.  
Available rates are 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200. The  
default is 9600.  
Click OK and proceed to step 4.  
If you selected IP [LAN], click OK and proceed to step 3.  
If you selected Emulate, click OK and see “Using Emulation mode” on  
page 5-23.  
3.  
If you selected IP [LAN] in step 2, the IP Connection window appears  
(figure 5-4).

a. Examine the Matrix IP Address field in the IP Connection window. The  
field displays the last Matrix IP address entered.  
If the IP address is correct: Proceed to step 3b.  
If the address is not correct: Either click in the Matrix IP Address field  
and enter the IP address or click on the scroll down button ( ) and select  
from among the recently used addresses. Proceed to step 3b.  
If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-  
specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.  
N
b. If the switcher is password protected, click in the Password field and  
enter the appropriate administrator or user password.  
c. Click Connect.  
If you logged on using the administrator password, the program connects  
you to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher with all of the administrator  
rights and privileges.  
If you logged on using the user password, the program connects you to  
the CrossPoint or MAV switcher with only user capabilities.  
If an incorrect password was entered, the program beeps and returns to  
the password entry display.  
4.  
The Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program window (figure 5-5 and  
figure 5-6) appears. The window displays the current configuration of the  
attached matrix.

IP Settings/Options window  
The IP Settings/Options window (figure 5-7) provides a location for viewing and,  
if connected via either serial port or if you are logged on via the LAN port as an  
administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See appendix A,  
“Ethernet Connection”, for basic information about IP addresses. You cannot edit  
any of the fields on this screen while you are logged on as a user.  
Editing variables on the IP Settings/Options screen while connected via the  
LAN port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron  
recommends editing the settings on this screen using a serial port and protecting  
the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to  
qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

Matrix IP Address field  
The Matrix IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected matrix  
switcher. This value is encoded in the flash memory in the switcher.  
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called  
octets, separated by dots (periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through  
255. Leading zeroes, up to 3 digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and  
above are invalid.  
The default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other equipment  
at your installation, consult with the network administrator to get a new, valid  
address.  
Editing the Matrix IP address while connected via the LAN port can  
immediately disconnect the user from the matrix switcher. Extron recommends  
editing this field using the a serial port and protecting the Ethernet access to this

Default address  
To access the CrossPoint or MAV switcher via the LAN port, you need the  
switcher’s IP address. If the address has been changed to an address comprised of  
words and characters, you can determine the actual numeric IP address using the  
Ping utility. If the address has not been changed, the factory-specified default is  
192.168.254.254.  
Ping can also be used to test the Ethernet link to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher.

Pinging to determine Extron IP address  
The Microsoft® Ping utility is available at the DOS prompt. Ping tests the Ethernet  
interface between the computer and the CrossPoint or MAV switcher. Ping can also  
be used to determine the actual numeric IP address from an alias and to determine  
the web address.  
Ping the switcher as follows:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
On the Windows task bar, click on Start > Run.  
At the Open prompt, type command.  
Click the OK button.  
At the DOS prompt, type ping {IP address} and then press [Enter]. The  
computer returns a display similar to figure A-2.  
The line Pinging ... reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of  
whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.

Pinging to determine Web IP address  
The Ping utility has a modifier, -a, that directs the command to return the Web  
address rather than the numeric IP address.  
At the DOS prompt, type ping -a {IP address} and then press [Enter]. The  
computer’s return display is similar to the Ping response shown in figure A-2,  
except that when you specify the -a modifier, the line Pinging mail... reports the  
web IP address rather than the numeric IP address, regardless of whether you  
entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name.  
Connecting as a Telnet client  
The Microsoft Telnet utility is available from the DOS prompt. Telnet allows you  
to input SIS commands to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher from the PC via the

Telnet tips  
It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality  
of Telnet; however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the  
CrossPoint or MAV switcher via Telnet.  
Open  
Connect to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher using the Open command. Once you  
are connected to the switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you  
would if you were using the RS-232 link.  
Connect to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher as follows:  
1.  
At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press [Enter].  
If the switcher is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed  
until you break or disconnect the connection to the CrossPoint or MAV  
switcher.  
If the switcher is password protected, Telnet displays the password prompt.  
If necessary, at the password prompt, type {password} and then press [Enter].  
2.  
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected. There  
are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A person  
logged on as an administrator has full access to all CrossPoint or MAV  
switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select video and/or  
audio for output, select test patterns, set audio or RS-232 mutes, select a blue  
screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. By default,  
the CrossPoint or MAV switcher ships with both passwords set to {carriage  
return}.  
Once you are logged in, the switcher returns either Login Administrator or  
Login User. No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect  
the connection to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher.  
Escape character and Esc key  
When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is ‘Ctrl+]’.  
E
Many SIS commands include the keyboard  
key. Consequently, some confusion  
may exist between the Escape character and the Escape key.  
]
Ctrl  
The Telnet Escape character is a key combination, the  
key and the  
key  
pressed simultaneously, that returns you to the Telnet prompt while leaving the  
connection to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher intact.  
E
The Escape key is the  
key on the computer keyboard.

Local echo  
Once connected to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher, by default, Telnet does not  
display your keystrokes on the screen. SIS commands are typed in blindly and  
only the SIS responses are displayed on the screen. To command Telnet to show  
keystrokes, at the Telnet prompt, type set local_echo and then press [Enter] before  
you open the connection to the switcher.  
With local echo turned on, keystrokes and the switcher’s responses are displayed  
on the same line. For example: 1*1!In1 Out1 All, where 1*1! is the SIS command  
and In1 Out1 All is the response.  
With local echo turned on, all keystrokes are displayed, even those that should be  
masked, such as the password entry. For example, when entering a password with  
local echo turned on, you see a display such as a*d*m*i*n*, where admin is the  
keyed in password and ***** is the masked response.  
You can turn off local echo by typing unset local_echo and then pressing [Enter]  
at the Telnet prompt. If you are connected to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher and  
need to access the Telnet prompt to turn local echo off, type the Escape character  
]
Ctrl  
(

Set carriage return-line feed  
Unless commanded otherwise, Telnet transmits a line feed character only (no  
Enter  
carriage return) to the connected switcher when you press the  
key. This is  
the correct setting for SIS communication with the switcher. The Telnet set crlf  
command forces Telnet to transmit carriage return and line feed characters when  
Enter  
is pressed, but if crlf is set, the SIS link with the switcher does not function  
properly.  
Close  
To close the link to the switcher, access the Telnet prompt by typing the Escape

Subnetting — A Primer  
It is not the purpose of this manual to describe TCP/IP protocol in detail. However,  
some understanding of TCP/IP subnetting (a subnet is a subset of a network — a  
set of IP devices that have portions of their IP addresses in common) is necessary  
in order to understand the interaction of the CrossPoint or MAV switcher and the  
mail server gateway. To understand subnetting at the level required to install and  
operate the CrossPoint or MAV switcher, you must understand the concepts of a  
gateway, local and remote devices, IP addresses and octets, and subnet masks and  
octets.  
Gateways  
The CrossPoint or MAV switcher can communicate with the e-mail server that the  
switcher uses for e-mail notification directly (if they are on the same subnet) or  
the communication can be routed via a gateway (a computer that provides a link  
between different subnets).  
Local and remote devices  
The local and remote devices are defined from the point of view of the function  
being described. In this manual, subnetting is an issue when you are using the  
controlling PC to set TCP/IP and e-mail values in the CrossPoint or MAV switcher  
variables for e-mail notification, which may include subnetting, the matrix switcher  
is the local device and the e-mail server is the remote device.  
IP addresses and octets  
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields, properly called  
octets, separated by dots (periods) (figure A-4). Each octet can be numbered from  
000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to three digits total per octet, are optional.  
Values of 256 and above are invalid.  
Typical IP Address: 192.168.254.254  
Octets  
Figure A-4 IP address and octets  
Subnet masks and octets  
The subnet mask (figure A-5) is used to determine whether the local and remote  
devices are on the same subnet or different subnets. The subnet mask consists  
of four numeric octets separated by dots. Each octet can be numbered from  
000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to three digits total per octet, are optional.  
Each octet typically contains either 255 or 0. The octets determine whether or not  
the same octets of two IP addresses will be compared when determining if two  
devices are on the same subnet.  
255 indicates that this octet will be  
0 indicates that this octet will not be  
compared between two IP addresses.  
compared between two IP addresses.  
Typical Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0

Determining whether devices are on the same subnet  
To determine the subnet, the local device’s IP address is compared to the remote  
device’s IP address (figure A-6). Each address’s octets are compared or not  
compared, depending on the value in the related subnet mask octet.  
If a subnet mask octet contains the value 255, the related octets of the local  
device’s address and the remote device’s IP address are unmasked.  
Unmasked octets are compared (indicated by ? in figure A-6).  
If the subnet mask octet contains the value 0, the related octets of the local  
device’s and remote device’s IP addresses are masked.  
Masked octets are not compared (indicated by X in figure A-6).  
If the unmasked octets of the two IP addresses match (indicated by = in figure A-6)  
(example 1), the two addresses are on the same subnet.  
If the two unmasked fields do not match (indicated by in figure A-6) (example 2  
and example 3), the addresses are not on the same subnet.

Button Labels  
Page B-21 provides strips of blank button labels. If desired, copy them or cut them  
out, write button information in each button area as desired, and put them in the  
switcher’s input or output buttons’ windows. You can also create labels using the  
Button-Label Generator software (see chapter 5, “Matrix Software”).  
Installing labels in the matrix switcher’s buttons  
Install new labels in the matrix switcher’s front panel buttons as follows:  
1.  
Make new labels using either the blanks on page B-21 or the Button-Label  
Generator software. Cut them out.  
For best results, print on transparent or translucent material.  
N
2.  
Remove the button from the switcher; use a small, flat bladed screwdriver  
such as an Extron Tweeker to gently pry a button out from the front panel  
(figure B-1).  
Base  
TEXT  
Diffuser  
Clear Lens  
Button Label  
Pry the two  
pieces apart.  
Separate the two-  
piece button here at  
the corner.  
Figure B-1 — Illuminated button label replacement  
3.  
4.  
Locate the notch in the corner of one side of the clear button cap lens.  
Separate the white backing (diffuser) from the clear button cap (lens); insert  
the blade of the small screwdriver into the corner notch and gently twist the  
blade.  
5.  
6.  
7.  
Save the translucent, white diffuser, but remove the text/label insert from the  
transparent button cap lens.  
Insert the replacement button label into the button cap. Check for correct  
label orientation.  
Align the white diffuser plate with the cap (lens). The bumps on the diffuser  
plate should be aligned (top and bottom) with the notches on the clear button  
cap. Firmly snap it into place.  
8.  
9.  
Align the tabs on the switcher’s plunger with the notches on the diffuser  
plate. Gently, but firmly, press the reassembled button into place in the  
switcher’s front panel.  
Repeat steps 2 to 8 as needed to relabel other buttons.
