| Description | |||
| The MCX1 audio switcher is a 24x1 mono or 12x1 stereo, 1U, 19" rackmount switcher with an integral power supply. It can be controlled in a number of ways: by front panel rotary encoder, remote rotary encoder or parallel binary. Two versions are available: the MCX1N, with a two digit numeric display and the MCX1S, which has an eight character alphanumeric display and offers the added flexibility of RS232 PC control. | |||
| Features | |||
| Inputs & Outputs: | Twenty four audio inputs via a rear panel 56 way Varicon and two electronically balanced outputs via rear panel XLRs. The switcher can be configured with internal headers to be either a 24x1 mono switcher or a 12x2 stereo switcher. | ||
Rotary Encoder Control: |
Often, the most expensive part of a matrix system is the control panel. The MCX1 features a novel control system: a simple shaft encoder with positive detents selects the required source and the display shows the source selected. As the encoder has continuous rotation the sources can be rolled over. | ||
RS232 PC Control: |
The MCX1S can be controlled from a PC using an RS232 serial data link. In this mode, the MCX1S can provide mixing operation: multiple sources can be selected, giving a mixed output. | ||
| Remote Control: | The MCX1 is available with either front panel control or a remote module for user installation into existing equipment. Remote connection should be with screened six core data cable, maximum length 30m. The screen should be connected to 0V. | ||
Parallel Binary Control: |
In order to interface with existing control systems, the MCX1 can also accept parallel binary data. In this mode the switcher can be supplied to operate as a sixteen input mixing matrix (please call for further details). | ||
Reprogrammabble Source Names: |
The MCX1S has an eight character alphanumeric display, showing source names, which are stored in an EEPROM. They can be reprogrammed by the user, using a PC and Audionics control software. A two digit numeric display version (MCX1N) is also available. | ||
| Options | |||
| Output Transformers: | The MCX1 can be supplied with optional transformer balanced outputs. | ||
| Customised Operation: | As the MCX1 audio switcher is software controlled, it is possible to customise its operation. For instance, as the unit can operate as a mixing matrix, a combination of mixes can be pre-programmed, each one identified by an alphanumeric description. The rotary encoder is then used to select the required mix. | ||
| The MCX1 can be configured for a wide variety of audio systems including transmission selectors, outside source selector, monitoring panels or workstation selectors. Thanks to the simplicity of the control and display remote modules it provides a straightforward way to install source selection into existing equipment. | |||
