About the MPS Series
The Extron MPS 112 and MPS 112CS are media presentation switchers featuring
three A/V switchers and a program audio switcher with microphone pre-amplifier
and mute controls in one product. The A/V switchers include a four input, one
output VGA/audio switcher, a four input, one output S-video/audio switcher, and
a four input, one output composite video/audio switcher. The MPS 112 and
MPS 112CS accept microphone input and will mix the microphone signal with the
main audio in “talk-over” mode. Both models have an RS-232 control port. The
MPS 112CS also features switchable 48 V phantom power for the microphone.
The MPS Series is a one box solution for small presentation systems.
MPS Series Features
Multiple video inputs — Twelve inputs can include four VGA (or SVGA, UXGA,
RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or RsGsBs) inputs on 15-pin HD female connectors,
four S-video (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM) inputs on 4-pin mini DIN female
connectors, and four composite video (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM) inputs on
BNC female connectors.
Multiple video outputs — Three outputs for simultaneous (in Separate mode), or
one at a time (in Single mode) display on VGA, S-video, or composite video
devices.
Multiple audio inputs — Twelve inputs can include four in the VGA group on
3.5 mm female stereo mini jacks, four in the S-video group on pairs of female
RCA connectors, and four in the Video group on pairs of female RCA
connectors.
Multiple audio outputs — One output for each group (VGA, S-video, and Video),
plus Program Out.
Program audio switcher — A three input, one output stereo audio switching
system allows the audio input of any video group to be selected for program
audio output, with volume and mute control. The MPS 112 features
unbalanced program audio output on RCA connectors, while the MPS 112CS
has balanced/unbalanced program audio output on a 5-pole captive screw
connector.
Bandwidth — Bandwidth is 350 MHz (-3 dB), typical for VGA video, allowing
this switcher to switch everything from NTSC video to high-resolution
computer displays.
Microphone input — Built-in microphone amplifier is switchable with
microphone power (MPS 112 - 15V and MPS 112CS - 48V phantom power).
The MPS 112 features unbalanced microphone input on one 1/4" (6.3 mm)
jack, while the MPS 112CS has balanced/unbalanced microphone input on a
3-pole captive screw connector. Mix button for “talk-over,” with adjustable
threshold control and mix volume control.
Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) — Locks out all front panel
functions except input selection and program volume control to prevent
unwanted setting changes.
RS-232 remote control — Allows remote control of MPS switcher using Extron’s
Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™
), Extron’s control software for Windows
®
, or a
control system.
Rack-mountable — The 1U high, full rack width, metal enclosure is rack-
