CrossPoint 300 42 HVA	4x2 RGBHV & Stereo Audio	60-504-01	Retired

This product has been retired.

The Extron CrossPoint 300 42 HVA is designed to route wideband RGBHV and balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals. This CrossPoint^® 4x2 matrix switcher features 300 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded, and is also fully compatible with RGBS, RGsB, HDTV, component video, S-video, and composite video signals.

The CrossPoint 300 42 HVA features Extron's ADSP™ - Advanced Digital Sync Processing technology, an all-digital process that corrects and restores the sync signal as it passes through the switcher. First, ADSP restores sync to TTL levels, 5.0 V p-p, ensuring that the projector or monitor accurately locks to sync and displays a stable image. Second, ADSP corrects the signal waveform to create sharp rising and falling edges, ensuring a more stable and reliable image in systems with different signal sources or cable lengths. Whether signal losses and distortion are caused by long cable runs, variations in display graphic card outputs, or low sync levels from many laptop computers, ADSP significantly reduces sync related problems, improving signal compatibility with many digital display devices.

Housed in a rack-mountable, 19-inch wide enclosure, the CrossPoint 300 42 HVA is equipped with RS-232 control capability. The unique advantage of serial control is Extron's SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set. SIS simplifies serial control by utilizing a limited set of easy to read, ASCII command codes.

Features

Inputs: Video on female BNC connectors; audio on captive screw connectors

Outputs: Video on female BNC connectors; audio on captive screw connectors

300 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth, fully loaded — Designed for routing most common high resolution computer-video rates without signal degradation. The CrossPoint 300 42 HVA provides a minimum 300 MHz (-3 dB) of RGB video bandwidth at full performance capability when one input drives all outputs.

Extremely flat response — Switcher performance is further enhanced by the extremely flat response in the critical portion of the bandwidth curve, between 0 and 130 MHz.

ADSP™ - Advanced Digital Sync Processing technology — An exclusive, all digital process that regenerates the sync signal waveform and restores incoming sync level to 5.0 V p-p specifications. This ensures a stable image for improved signal compatibility with any LCD, DLP, plasma, or other digital display device.

Compatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, HDTV, component video, S-video, composite video, and unbalanced/balanced stereo audio — The CrossPoint 300 42 HVA switches separate horizontal and vertical sync to ensure proper sync polarity, providing a more stable image.

Buffered I/O — Each input and output is individually buffered to provide maximum performance and virtually no crosstalk or signal interference between channels.

Switches balanced and unbalanced stereo audio

Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows users to set the level of gain or attenuation for each audio input channel, eliminating noticeable volume differences when switching between sources.

Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio and video signals from one source to be switched to different destinations.

QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.

Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use when the matrix switcher is installed in an unsecured environment where easy access is not desirable. In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to operate the front panel.

View I/O mode — Easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected.

RS-232 control port — Using serial commands, the CrossPoint 300 42 HVA can be controlled and configured via the included Windows-based control software, or integrated into a control system. 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.

Control software — Provides a graphical, drag-and-drop interface for I/O configuration and other customization functions via RS-232 remote control. This software also offers an emulation mode for configuration of an offsite matrix switcher; the I/O configuration may be saved for future downloading to the matrix switcher.

Optional remote control — Optional X/Y control panels, bus control panels, and keypads provide the flexibility to control a CrossPoint 300 42 HVA matrix switcher from a remote location.

1U, rack-mountable metal enclosure — The CrossPoint 300 42 HVA matrix switcher is housed in a 19-inch wide metal enclosure.

Highly reliable, energy-efficient internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility with high demonstrated reliability.
