1 Chapter One Introduction About this Manual About the Matrix Switchers Definitions Features PRELIMINARY MVX Plus 128 VGA Matrix Switchers
Installation About this Manual This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron MVX Plus 128 12-input by 8-output wideband computer video (VGA) and audio matrix switcher. About the Matrix Switchers The MVX matrix switcher distributes any of 12 inputs to any combination of 8 outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.
The MVX Plus 128 inputs and outputs VGA video on 15-pin HD connectors and audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals. The audio switching can be either linked with the video (audio follow) or be independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable input audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences between audio inputs. The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet port and its RS-232/RS-422 port.
Introduction, cont’d Features Video — The switchers input and output RGBHV or RGBS (VGA) video on 15-pin HD connectors. They can also switch RGsB, RsGsBs, component/ HDTV, S-video, or composite video. Bandwidth — The MVX switchers provide a minimum of 300 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded. Audio inputs — Input and output stereo audio, balanced or unbalanced, is provided on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.
Rooming — Each switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to specific “rooms”, allowing them to have their own presets. • 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 RS-232/RS-422 remote control.
Introduction, cont’d Global memory presets — 32 global memory presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store input/output configurations in advance. 20 global memory presets are available from the front panel. You can then recall those configurations, when needed, with a few simple steps. Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19” wide rack.

A Appendix A Ethernet Connection Ethernet Link Subnetting — A Primer PRELIMINARY MVX Plus 128 VGA Matrix Switchers
Ethernet Connection LINK ACT The rear panel Ethernet connector on the MVX Plus 128 switcher can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a computer connected to the same LAN. ETHERNET Ethernet Link 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 A-1).
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 MVX Plus 128 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. On the Windows task bar, click on Start > Run. 2. At the Open prompt, type command. 3. Click the OK button. 4.
Ethernet Connection, cont’d Connecting as a Telnet client The Microsoft Telnet utility is available from the DOS prompt. Telnet allows you to input SIS commands to the MVX Plus 128 switcher from the PC via the Ethernet link and the LAN. Access the DOS prompt and start Telnet as follows: 1. On the Windows task bar, click on Start > Run. 2. At the Open prompt, type command. 3. Click the OK button. 4. At the DOS prompt, type telnet and then press [Enter].
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 MVX Plus 128 switcher. Escape character and Esc key When Telnet is first started, the utility advises that the Escape character is ‘Ctrl+]’. Many SIS commands include the keyboard E key. Consequently, some confusion may exist between the Escape character and the Escape key.
Ethernet Connection, cont’d 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 MVX Plus 128 switcher and the mail server gateway.
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).
