Product Code: EX-HDXP-1616PLS 

The Extron HDXP Plus 1616 matrix switcher is capable of routing all SMPTE and ITU standard digital serial video signals up to 2.97 Gbps, including dual-link HD-SDI and 3G-SDI digital video signals. In addition, the HDXP Plus 1616 will pass embedded audio, as well as ancillary ID and metadata information, along with the digital video signal. It is ideal for routing HDTV and other high resolution digital video sources for digital cinema projection, biomedical imaging, satellite mapping and visualization, rental and staging environments, and other applications.

Zero-Skew Design

The HDXP Plus Series utilizes a unique, zero-skew design that's optimized for the switching of SMPTE 372M dual-link HD-SDI digital video signals. Adjacent pairs of input and output connectors share equal data paths, ensuring that dual-link signals are switched without undesirable timing errors. Incoming signals are equalized to 300 feet (100 m) or more on Extron RG6 or equivalent cable.

HDXP Plus matrix switchers automatically adapt to the input signal rate, and the output is automatically reclocked to the rate of the signal routed to it. Reclocked signals can be driven 300 feet (100 m) or more on Extron RG6 or equivalent cable. In addition to automatic reclocking, users can also disable reclocking, on a per output basis, or preset output reclocking to a fixed rate. This ensures standards independence, now and in the future, with virtually any serial digital video data rate.

Switching Modes

The HDXP Plus Series features two discrete switching modes for ease-of-operation. Matrix Switching Mode provides for selection of any input to any or all outputs. Preview Mode allows any selected input to be routed to a separate, dedicated preview output. The preview output is in addition to the available program outputs, and eliminates the possibility of preview signals being inadvertently routed to a live program output during a presentation.

Control Features

The HDXP Plus Series is engineered with a range of innovative Extron control features designed to simplify operation in critical presentation environments.

Key features include I/O grouping, which allows SDI and HD-SDI inputs and outputs of different data rates to be grouped together, thus eliminating the chance that an input of one data rate will be switched to an output requiring a different rate.

Extron's DSVP™ - Digital Sync Validation Processing provides verification of both input data rates and reclocked output data rates through RS-232 as well as Ethernet. DSVP adds a level of confidence when designing a multi-rate digital video routing system with a variety of input and output digital signal types.

Ethernet Control

The HDXP Plus Series is equipped with an integrated, high performance Web server that provides technical support personnel with the ability to receive service and failure messages through an e-mail-enabled cell phone, PDA, pager, or e-mail account. Utilizing Ethernet control, the help desk can also view embedded Web pages to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot the switcher.

  • Inputs: Video on female BNC connectors
  • Outputs: Video on female BNC connectors
  • Automatically adapts to SMPTE and ITU digital video standards for 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SDI — Complies with SMPTE 259M, ITU-R BT.601, SMPTE 292M, ITU-R BT.1120, SMPTE 372M, and SMPTE 424M standards.
  • Data rates from 143 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps — Supports SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and SMPTE 372M dual-link HD-SDI digital video signals.
  • Optimized for dual-link HD-SDI — Zero-skew design pairs adjacent input and output connectors for superb performance with very high data rate signals, even over long distances.
  • Passes embedded audio, ancillary ID and metadata information, and SD/HD-SDTI digital video signals — Passes all data allowed within published SMPTE and ITU digital video standards, including embedded audio, ancillary ID and metadata information, and SDTI (SMPTE 305M) and HD-SDTI (SMPTE 348M) digital video signals.
  • Input equalization — Equalizes input signals 300 feet (100 m) or more on Extron RG6 or equivalent cable.
  • Output reclocking — Reclocks and drives output signals 300 feet (100 m) or more on Extron RG6 or equivalent cable.
  • User-selectable reclocking modes — The HDXP Plus Series automatically reclocks SMPTE and ITU standard serial digital video rates. Reclockers can also be set to a single, predetermined SMPTE/ITU standard data rate for optimum switching performance, or bypassed to allow for switching nonstandard data rates.
  • DSVP™ - Digital Sync Validation Processing — Polls inputs and outputs to verify data rates. DSVP then transmits the information to the user through the serial or Ethernet ports.
  • Input preview mode with dedicated output — Provides preview of any available input signal before switching to a live output. All program outputs remain available for signal distribution.
  • 32 global presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be saved and recalled either from the front panel, Ethernet, or serial control.
  • View I/O mode — Users can easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected.
  • I/O grouping — Allows SDI and HD-SDI I/Os to be grouped separately.
  • Tri-color, backlit buttons can be custom labeled for easy identification — Buttons illuminate red, green, or amber, depending on function, for ease of use in low-light environments.
  • QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive operation.
  • Ethernet monitoring and control — Enables the HDXP Plus matrix switchers to be proactively monitored and managed over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, using standard TCP/IP protocols. Ethernet control provides for remote selection of input and output ties, output reclocking mode, and advanced system diagnostics.
  • RS-232 and RS-422 control port — Using serial commands, the HDXP Plus Series 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 and RS-422 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.
  • Optional control panels and keypads — Provide the flexibility to control a HDXP Plus Series matrix switcher from a remote location.
  • Internal universal power supply — For worldwide compatibility, the HDXP Plus Series is equipped with a highly reliable, international power supply rated at 500,000 hours MTBF.
