Introduction
About the Switchers
The Extron MVX Series VGA matrix switchers (figure 1-1) is a family of computer
video matrix switchers that distribute any VGA or component/HDTV video (or
other high resolution video) and audio input to any combination of outputs. The
MVX Series switchers can route multiple input/output ties simultaneously. The
switchers input and output high resolution video on 15-pin HD connectors. The
switchers input audio on 3.5 mm mini jacks and output audio on 3.5 mm captive
screw connectors. There are four matrix sizes available:
• MVX 44 (four inputs by four outputs)
• MVX 48 (four inputs by eight outputs)
• MVX 84 (eight inputs by four outputs)
• MVX 88 (eight inputs by eight outputs)
