Introduction
About the Digital XPoint Series Matrix Switchers
The Extron Digital XPoint Series Matrix Switchers are serial digital interface (SDI)
matrix switchers that distribute any SDI input to any combination of SDI outputs.
The matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations
simultaneously. Two matrix sizes are available:
DXP 44 SDI (four inputs by four outputs)
DXP 88 SDI (eight inputs by eight outputs)
The switchers conform to the SMPTE 259M specifications and route signals in all
composite (143 Mb/s and 177 Mb/s), component 4:2:2 (270 Mb/s), and widescreen
16:9 (360 Mb/s) SDI video standards. Each input signal is equalized: a 270 Mb/s
input signal is equalized for distances of 1000 feet (300 meters) on high quality
cable such as Extron RG6 BNC Series Super High Resolution coaxial cable. Each
input signal is buffered and looped through to allow it to be sent to other
equipment. Each output has dual buffered and equalized BNC outputs (two
identical output signals per output) (figure 1-1).

auto rate selection is ideal for multi-rate serial data protocols because the
switcher automatically detects and locks onto the incoming data signal.
Output data muting when the input source is lostAn internal muting function
forces the serial data outputs to a static state when input data is not present
or not locked.
16 global memory presets — 16 memory presets are a time-saving feature that lets
you set up and store input/output configurations in advance and then recall
those configurations with a few simple steps when needed.
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection and setting of
presets 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 Digital XPoint Series front panel controller
supports touch-of-a-button input and output selection and preset creation
and selection. The front panel features large, positive touch, illuminated
pushbuttons that can be labeled with text or graphics.
Windows-based control program — Extron’s Windows-based 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.
Input carrier detection — When input data is locked, the DXP indicates the
presence of a carrier source. This information is available via the
RS-232/RS-422 port and either the Windows-based control program or an SIS
command.
Remote control — The Digital XPoint switchers are remote controllable, using the
MKP 1000 master control keypad 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 for
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.

Installation
Mounting the Switcher
The Digital XPoint Matrix Switcher comes with two sets of mounting brackets. One
set is for mounting the switcher under a table or against a wall, and the other set is
for rack mounting.
Table or wall mounting
The table/wall mounting brackets extend approximately 1/4” (6.4 mm) above the
top surface of the switcher enclosure. This design allows for an air space between
the enclosure and the surface to which it is mounted. Table or wall mount the
switcher as follows:
1. Attach the table/wall mounting brackets to the switcher with the eight
provided #8 machine screws (figure 2-1).
2. Hold the switcher with the attached brackets against the underside of the
table or other furniture, or against the wall. Mark the location of the
screw holes of the bracket on the mounting surface.
3. Drill 3/32” (2 mm) diameter pilot holes, 1/4” (6.4 mm) deep in the
mounting surface at the marked screw locations.
4. Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten each screw into
the mounting surface until just less than 1/4” of the screw protrudes.
5. Align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets and place the
switcher against the surface, with the screws through the bracket slots.
6. Slide the switcher slightly forward or back, then tighten all four screws to
secure the switcher in place.
Rack mounting
UL requirements
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the
installation of the matrix switcher into a rack (figure 2-1).
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-
unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
2. Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
3.
Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to
supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.
use of power strips.

Digital video input and output connections
All video input and output connections to the Digital XPoint Switchers are
made with female BNC connectors. Some types of video output devices do not
have BNC video output connectors. For these cases, a suitable cable or
connector adapter is necessary between the device output connector and the
BNC input connector of the Digital XPoint.
1
Input in (top) video connectors — Connect an SDI input device to these
female BNC connectors.
2
Input loop-through (bottom) video connectors — Connect an SDI display or
other device to these female BNC connectors. The switcher outputs an
equalized SDI loop-though on these BNCs.
The Digital XPoint Matrix Switchers equalize the output signals and the loop-
through signals. Beyond that, they do not alter the video signal in any way.
The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.
3
Output video connectors — Connect an SDI display or other device to these
female BNC connectors. The switcher outputs two identical, equalized SDI
signals for each output number.

Figure 2-4 — RS-232/RS-422 port pin assignments
See chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, for definitions of the SIS commands
and chapter 5, “Matrix Software”, to install and use the control software.
The Digital XPoint Series Matrix Switchers are factory configured for RS-232
control. To use the switcher under RS-422 control, an internal cable must be
moved. See chapter 6, “Maintenance and Modifications”, for the procedure for
swapping the serial ports.
If desired, connect an MCP 1000 remote control panel master unit to the
switcher’s RS-232/RS-422 connector. You can also connect an MKP 1000
remote keypad or MCP 1000 slave unit to the MCP 1000 master unit. Refer to
the MCP 1000 Remote Control Panel User’s Manual, part #68-456-01, and the
MKP 1000 Users Manual, part #68-355-01, for details.
External sync connection
When switching between inputs, the resulting image change should be seamless, or
clean. The Digital XPoint Switchers can use an external signal to synchronize
switching during the vertical sync interval. Without the external sync locking
feature, switching between inputs can result in a brief rolling (sync loss) or a brief
change in the picture size.
5
External Reference In (top) connector — Connect an external sync signal to
this BNC connection for genlocking the video signal in broadcast or other
sync-critical applications.
External Reference Out (bottom) connector — Connect any downstream
equipment that requires genlocking to this BNC connector to route the
external sync signal throughout the system in broadcast or other sync-critical
applications.
Figure 2-5 shows a basic external sync configuration. The External Reference In
connector receives a timing signal. The External Reference Out connector allows
the signal to be passed on to another video device, if required.

Definitions
The following terms apply to Extron matrix switchers, and are used throughout
this manual:
Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied
to more than one input.)
Configuration — May consist of one tie or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently being used (also
called configuration 0)
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 16 global
memory presets can be stored in memory. The input and output buttons
select the desired preset memory location to load or retrieve a preset. When
a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
One preset can be assigned to each input and output button. On the
DXP 44 SDI, presets 9 through 16 can only be stored and retrieved via the
RS-232/RS-422 link.

Front Panel Operations
The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and provide sample
procedures for creating ties, sets of ties, and configurations; changing a
configuration; viewing ties, sets of ties, and configurations; saving a preset; and
recalling a preset.
Power
Power is automatically applied when the power cord is connected to an AC source.
When AC power is applied, the switcher performs a self-test that cycles the front
panel button indicators on and off from left to right lit green, right to left lit red,
and left to right lit amber. The self-test also displays the model name and the
firmware version in the LCD display. After approximately 2 seconds, the LCD
reverts to its default display, Extron DXP 88 (or Extron DXP 44) (figure 3-3). An
error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all of the button indicators off or
background illuminated and the LCD displaying the default display.
