Introduction, cont’d The CrossPoint Ultra Series switchers have a minimum bandwidth of 525 MHz (-3 dB). All models can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, compo- nent video, S-video, and composite video. CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers There are four CrossPoint 450 Plus series matrix sizes available, each in an HVA (RGBHV video and audio) and HV (RGBHV video only) model: •...
Page 17 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). CrossPoint / MAV Matrix Switchers • Introduction ...
Page 18: Definitions
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.
Page 19 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.
Page 20 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.
Page 21 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.

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.

Page 96: Setting The Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes)
Operation, cont’d Setting the front panel locks (Executive modes) The matrix switchers have three levels of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the switcher from the front panel. The three levels are: • Lock mode 0 — The front panel is completely unlocked. All front panel functions are available.
Page 97: Selecting Lock Mode 2 Or Toggling Between Mode 2 And Mode 1
Selecting Lock mode 2 or toggling between mode 2 and mode 1 N If the switcher is in Lock mode 0 or mode 1, this procedure selects mode 2. If the switcher is in Lock mode 2, this procedure selects mode 1. Toggle the lock on and off by pressing and holding the RGBHV (CrossPoint Ultra) or Video (MAV Plus) button and the Audio button for approximately 2 seconds (figure 3-76).
Page 98: Background Illumination
Operation, cont’d Background illumination The buttons on the front panel can be set to provide amber background illumination at all times or the background illumination can be turned off. To toggle the background illumination on or off, press and hold the Input 1 and Input 2 buttons simultaneously for approximately 2 seconds (figure 3-78).
Page 99: Rear Panel Operations
Release the Control buttons. N The serial port settings are protected when front panel Lock mode 2 is selected. You can view the settings in Lock mode 2 but you cannot change them from the front panel. See “Setting the front panel Locks (Executive modes)” on page 3-52.
Page 100 Operation, cont’d Mode Activation Hold down the recessed Reset button while applying power to the switcher. After a mode 1 reset is performed, update the switcher’s firmware to the latest version. Do not operate the switcher firmware version that results from the mode 1 reset.
Page 101: Performing Soft System Resets (Resets 3, 4, And 5)
Performing soft system resets (resets 3, 4, and 5) Perform a soft reset of the switcher as follows: Use an Extron Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and hold the rear panel Reset button until the front panel Video and Audio buttons blink once (events reset), twice (system reset), or three times (absolute reset) (figure 3-82).
Page 102: Performing A Hard Reset
Operation, cont’d Performing a hard reset The hard reset function restores the switcher to the base firmware that it was shipped with. This reset also clears all ties and presets, clears all video and audio mutes, clears all I/O grouping, clears all RGB delay, and clears all audio settings. After a hard reset, events do not automatically start, but user settings and files are restored.

Page 115: Default Ip Addresses
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 appendix A, “Ethernet Connection”, for more details).
Page 116: Verbose Mode
Programmer’s Guide, cont’d 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.
