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,
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.
CrossPoint — Both switcher models input and output ultra-wideband RGBHV
or RGBS video. They can also switch RGsB, RsGsBs, component/HDTV,
S-video, or composite video.
MAV Plus — These switchers input and output NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, or
SECAM video or HDTV video inputs. Depending on the video format of
the switcher, these switchers can distribute low resolution RGsB, RsGsGs,
component/HDTV, S-video, or composite video.
Bandwidth —
CrossPoint — Both CrossPoint switcher models provide a minimum of
425 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded.
MAV Plus — The MAV Plus switchers provide a minimum of 150 MHz (-3 dB)
video bandwidth, fully loaded.
Audio inputs (audio models) —
All audio models, with the exception of the MAV Plus 128 AV RCA — Input
and output stereo audio, balanced or unbalanced, on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive
screw terminals.
MAV Plus 128 AV RCA — Input and output unbalanced stereo audio on left and
right RCA connectors.
Audio input gain/attenuation (audio models) — Individual input audio levels can
be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources.
Users can set the input level of audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB)
via the Ethernet link, either serial port link, or the front panel.
Audio output volume (audio models) — The audio volume of each output can be
displayed and adjusted through a range of full output to completely silent
from the front panel or under serial port or Ethernet control.

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).

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 Brother™ P-Touch™ or 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 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.

b
Video outputs — Connect RGB video, component/HDTV video, S-video,

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.

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.

Figure 2-20 — RS-232/RS-422 connector
(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.
N
“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).

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

Example 10: Viewing and adjusting an input audio level
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.

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
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:

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.

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.

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.
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.

Inputs include PCs, an audio CD player, cameras, and an Extron VTG 300. Output
devices include monitors, front and rear projectors, a stereo, and a VCR for
recording presentations.
The Extron VTG 300 video test generator connected to input 12 enables a video
test pattern to be sent to one, several, or all output devices for problem isolation or

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.

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
been changed, the factory-specified defaults are:
• IP address
192.168.254.254
• Gateway address 0.0.0.0
• Subnet mask
255.255.0.0
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.
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 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.

Special Characters
The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions. The switcher
does not accept these characters as part of preset names, the switcher’s name,
passwords, or locally created file names.
The switcher rejects the following characters:

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
2.
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”:

Check for Matrix Updates
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
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.

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.

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
]
Ctrl
character (
+
). At the Telnet prompt, type close and then press [Enter].
Help
For Telnet command definitions, at the Telnet prompt, type ? and then press [Enter].
Quit
Exit the Telnet utility by typing quit and then pressing [Enter] at the Telnet prompt.
If you are connected to the CrossPoint or MAV switcher, access the Telnet prompt

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
Octets

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).

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.
