1-9TPX 88 Matrix Switchers • Introduction
Audio output volume (TPX 88 A only) — The audio level of each local output can
be adjusted through a range of 100% (no attenuation) to 0% (full attenuation).
The audio level can be adjusted under front panel or RS-232/RS-422 control.
Switching flexibility — Provides individually buffered, independent matrix
switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway for the TPX 88 A.
• Any input to any or all outputs
• Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs
simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to
source at the same time.
• Audio follow (TPX 88 A) — The audio portion of the TP link input can be
switched with the corresponding video portion of the input TP link. This
feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any video signal
simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio follow
switching can be done via front panel control or under RS-232/RS-422 remote
control.
• Audio breakaway (TPX 88 A) — The audio portion of the TP link input can
be broken away from its corresponding video portion of the input TP link.
Audio breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under
RS-232/RS-422 remote control.
Audio from a transmitter in the MTP family cannot be broken away.
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of
presets, and adjustment of audio output levels (TPX 88 A only) can be
performed on the front panel or over the RS-232/RS-422 link. The
RS-232/RS-422 link allows remote control via a PC or control system.
• Front Panel Controller — The TPX front panel controller feature supports
touch-of-a-button input and output selection, preset creation and selection,
and (TPX 88 A only) audio output volume control. The front panel features
large, positive touch, illuminated input and output pushbuttons that can be
labeled with text or graphics.
• Windows-based control program — For RS-232/RS-422 remote control from
a PC, Extron includes its Windows-based control software with every matrix
switcher. The control program provides a versatile range of operational
options with its graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click
operation. The Windows-based control program also has an emulation mode
that lets you create a switcher configuration file at the home office and then
download it for use by the switcher on site.
• Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™
) — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s
SIS for easy programming and operation.
• Remote control — The matrix switchers are remote controllable, using the
MCP 1000 master control panel and any combination of MCP 1000 slave
control panels and/or MKP 1000 slave control keypads. The remote control
devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each
MCP 1000 can be used for one-touch switching for a particular output and
selecting global presets. Each MKP 1000 dedicated to an output can be used
to select a different input for that output or to select a preset.
Labeling — Extron’s label software ships with every Extron matrix switcher. You
can create labels to place in the front panel I/O buttons, with names,
alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and
output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with any Brother P-Touch
or comparable labeler.
