Introduction, cont’d Introduction About the MMX 42/62 Series Matrix Switchers The Extron MMX 42/62 series of compact matrix switchers consists of four models of 4-input, 2-output video and audio matrix switchers, and four models of 6-input, 2-output video and audio matrix switchers, including the following: RS-232 Control OU 1 TP UTS 2 RS- 23 2 RX 6 TX L 5 IN MMX switcher model 3 TS 4 R MAV 62 AV RC A 2 Description 1 OU TP UTS 1 5 IN 4 x 2 composite video (BNC) and audio (captive sc
Introduction, cont’d All models Audio inputs — MMX switchers accept up to four (MMX 42) or six (MMX 62) stereo audio inputs. AV and SVA models accept balanced or unbalanced stereo on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. RCA models accept unbalanced stereo on RCA terminals. Audio outputs — MMX switchers output two stereo audio outputs. AV and SVA models output balanced or unbalanced stereo on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. RCA models output unbalanced stereo on RCA terminals.
Installation, cont’d Installation Installation Overview To install and set up an Extron MMX 42/62 switcher for operation, follow these steps: 1 Turn off all of the equipment.

Press and release the Outputs button to select the desired output. The LED for the selected output lights. 2.
Operation, cont’d System Reset To reset the unit to factory defaults, press and hold the Config button while power is applied. This resets the audio input settings to unity (0dB) and connects input 1 to outputs 1 and 2, audio and video. The audio and video Config LEDs are lit. Troubleshooting — If no image appears 1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The switcher is receiving power if the Power LED is lit. 2. Ensure an active input and output are selected on the MMX switcher. 3.
Remote Control, Remote Controlcont’d The switcher’s rear panel Remote connector (figure 4-1) can be connected to the serial port output of a host device. Remote communications with the switcher are via Extron’s Simple Instruction Set or using Extron’s Windows-based control program.

Remote Control, cont’d 3. The Extron Universal Switcher Control Program window (figure 4-3) displays the selected inputs for each output and the audio gain for the selected audio inputs. Muting the audio signals To mute one or both of the switcher’s outputs: 1. Click on the MUTE button for the selected output(s) on the Universal Switcher Control Program main window (figure 4-3). An associated orange indicator will “light” to indicate that the audio and/or video output is muted. 2.
Remote Control, cont’d 3. 4. Move the slider up (increase gain), or down (decrease gain) for selected audio input. Use the ALL slider control to change all input settings simultaneously. Settings are changed in 1 dB increments between -18 dB and +24 dB, and affect both left and right channels equally. Click the Take button (in Verify mode) to make the entered changes effective. The Changes: Immediate or Changes: Verify buttons control how the audio configuration changes are applied to the switcher.
