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:

About the Matrix Switchers

Matrixswitchersdistributeanyinputtoanycombinationofoutputs.Thematrix

switcherscanroutemultipleinput/outputcongurationssimultaneously.

The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex wideband

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).

In this manual, the term “video model” refers to any CrossPoint 450 Plus,

CrossPoint Ultra, or MAV Plus switcher that switches video.

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.

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).
