Extron MVX Series

VGA and Stereo Audio Matrix Switchers

The Extron MVX Series Matrix Switchers are designed to route most common high resolution computer-video signals with stereo audio. Available in I/O sizes from 4×4 to 16×16, the MVX Series offers wideband switching performance with the convenience of 15-pin HD connectors for all computer-video connections. MVX Series Matrix Switchers are ideal for applications such as conference rooms, classrooms, mobile and emergency operation centers, and video conference rooms.

The Extron MVX Series Matrix Switchers are designed to route VGAUXGA computer-video signals with stereo audio. Available in I/O sizes from 4×4 to 16×16, including a new 12×12 size, the MVX Series offers wideband switching performance with the convenience of 15-pin HD connectors for all computer-video connections. MVX Series models from 4×4 to 8×8 accept unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5 mm stereo mini jacks, while the 12×8 to 16×16 sizes accept either balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw connectors. All models output balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on captive screw connectors. Using pre-terminated cable assemblies, such as Extron’s VGA with Audio Cables, eliminates crimping and makes installations faster and easier.

All MVX Series models are equipped with a full range of control capabilities, including a standard QS-FPC™ – QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller, which provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation. In addition, all models are equipped with RS-232 serial control utilizing Extron’s SIS™ – Simple Instruction Set command protocol. They can be remotely controlled with the optional Extron MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 X-Y remote control panels, or via a third party control system. An optional handheld IR remote control is also available for 4×4 to 8×8 models.

Key Features

  • Ultra-wideband performance – 350 MHz to 500 MHz (-3 dB), depending on model – MVX Series models in I/O sizes from 4×4 to 12×8 provide a minimum of 350 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth, fully loaded. Larger sizes, from 12×12 to 16×16, provide a minimum of 500 MHz (-3 dB) at full performance capability, when one input drives all outputs.
  • Compatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and HDTV component video
  • Audio breakaway – Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio channels to be operated as a separate matrix switcher.
  • View I/O mode – Allows users to easily view which individual inputs and outputs are actively connected.
  • QS-FPC – QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller – Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.
  • Global presets – Individual I/O configurations may be saved and recalled either from the QuickSwitch front panel or through the serial controls. This time-saving feature allows you to set up I/O configurations and keep them in memory for future use.
  • Front panel security lockout – Ideal for unsecured environments, this feature locks out all front panel functions; however, these same functions are available through RS-232 serial control.
  • RS-232 control port – Using serial commands, the MVX Series can be controlled and configured via the included Windows®-based control software, or integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use the SIS – Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming. The RS-232 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.
