Introduction
About the CrossPoint Plus Series Matrix Switchers
The Extron CrossPoint Plus Series Matrix Switchers are ultra-wideband analog
RGBHV matrix switchers that distribute any input to any combination of outputs.
The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations
simultaneously. There are six series available that offer a variety of matrix sizes:
CrossPoint Plus 84 (eight inputs by four outputs)
CrossPoint Plus 88 (eight inputs by eight outputs)
CrossPoint Plus 124 (twelve inputs by four outputs)
CrossPoint Plus 128 (twelve inputs by eight outputs)
CrossPoint Plus 168 (sixteen inputs by eight outputs)
CrossPoint Plus 1616 (sixteen inputs by sixteen outputs)
Each series offers two models: HV for switching RGBHV signals, and HVA models
for switching RGBHV and two-channel stereo audio (balanced and unbalanced).
All models also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video,
and composite video (figure 1-1). The audio switching can either be linked with
the video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway).
Adjustable input audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences
between audio inputs.
The CrossPoint Plus Series are single box solutions to 425 MHz (-3dB) routing
applications. Each input and 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.
The CrossPoint Plus 84, 88, 124, and 128 Matrix Switchers are housed in rack-
mountable, 3U high, 19” wide metal enclosures. The CrossPoint Plus 168 and 1616
are in a 6U high enclosure. The appropriate rack mounting kit is included with
each switcher. Each model has an internal 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 watts
(CrossPoint Plus 84, 88, 124, and 128) or 36 watts (CrossPoint Plus 168 and 1616),
auto-switchable power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
