The Extron MKP 3000 MAAP is a mountable remote control panel designed to work with any Extron matrix switcher with RS-232 or IP Link?Ethernet control capabilities. It provides a convenient remote point of control for selecting both input and output channels, X-Y mode, recalling global presets, or selecting inputs tied to a specific output. When configured as an Ethernet-based control panel, multiple MKP 3000 MAAPs can be placed wherever switcher control is needed.
User Interface
The MKP 3000 MAAP's user interface features:
- LCD display ?The two-line LCD display makes it easy to select and view the status of inputs, outputs, and presets.
- Selection scroll knob ?Allows simple selection of inputs, outputs, and presets, as well as volume control.
- I/O plane selection button ?Changes color to indicate audio only, video only, or audio and video.
- Tri-color, backlit buttons ?Illuminate green, red, or amber, depending on function. The buttons can be custom-labeled for easy identification.
- MAAP opening ?The MKP 3000 MAAP fits into a three-gang wall plate and includes an opening to accommodate up to four single space MAAP - Mini Architectural Adapter Plates. The opening allows for integration with many of Extron's MAAPs, including the MKP 10 MAAP. Blank MAAPs are not included.
Control Options
The MKP 3000 MAAP is designed to work with any Extron matrix switcher using Extron's SIS?- Simple Instruction Set command structure, and is equipped with Ethernet and RS-232 serial control ports.
RS-232 Control
The MKP 3000 MAAP features two RS-232 ports: one for primary communication with the matrix switcher, and one pass-through port for use of a third-party control system. In addition, several MKP 3000 MAAP s can be daisy-chained together via RS-232. The MKP 3000 MAAP can also be combined with the Extron MKP 2000 to suit technical and/or control needs.
IP Link Ethernet Control
In a network environment, the Ethernet port allows a MKP 3000 MAAP to be placed on a standard TCP/IP network for use with IP Link enabled matrix switchers such as the Extron CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus Series. An unlimited number of MKP 3000 MAAPs can be connected to a matrix switcher as part of a simple IP network.
Virtual I/O Grouping
A key feature of the MKP 3000 MAAP is virtual I/O grouping, which allows specific inputs and outputs to be assigned or blocked for each controller utilized in a system design. For example, each room in a multi-room application can have its own set of inputs and outputs programmed into a local MKP 3000 MAAP. Any number of MKP 3000 MAAPs can be integrated into the system, and each can be restricted to a certain set of I/Os with relatively little effort.
Integrated Web Server
The MKP 3000 MAAP's integrated IP Link high performance Web server provides internal Web pages that offer an intuitive graphical interface for easy set-up and configuration. The System Settings page consolidates controls for IP address setup, RS-232 control port setting, and switcher I/O configuration, including I/O authorization for the virtual I/O grouping function. Inputs and outputs can be named for ease of operation in any switching application.
- LCD display
?Makes it easy to select and view the status of inputs, outlets, and presets.
- Selection scroll knob
?Allows simple selection of inputs, outputs, presets, and volume control.
- I/O and preset naming
?Input sources, output destinations, and global presets can be easily named using internal Web pages or serial commands.
- Audio/Video breakaway control
?Select audio only, video only, or audio and video, per input.
- Audio volume control
?The selection scroll knob doubles as an audio output volume control for many Extron matrix switcher models.
- Virtual I/O grouping
?Each MKP 3000 MAAP can be configured with its own unique set of inputs and outputs. By limiting user access to specific I/O ties, custom switching zones can be easily created.
- View all I/O ties in real time
?Allows the user to recall any established I/O tie and view it on an MKP 3000 MAAP's LCD display.
- RS-232 pass-through port
?In addition to the primary RS-232 port, the MKP 3000 MAAP also includes a second RS-232 pass-through port. This provides a convenient communication path when a third-party control system is used in conjunction with the MKP 3000 MAAP.
- Unlimited control points
?Multiple MKP 3000 MAAPs can be added to any matrix system, providing convenient points of control from virtually any location.
- Ethernet and RS-232 matrix switcher control
?Remote control can be added to both new and existing Extron matrix switcher installations.
- Integrated Web server
?The MKP 3000 MAAP can be easily configured through its Ethernet port, using a Web browser such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
- I/O sizes up to 256 x 256 and larger
?The MKP 3000 MAAP can switch both physical and virtual I/Os on large switchers such as the Extron Matrix 12800.
- Executive lockout mode
?The front panel of the MKP 3000 MAAP can be locked out via Ethernet or RS-232 to prevent unauthorized use.
- Downloadable firmware updates
?The latest firmware can be conveniently downloaded from the Extron Web site. Updates for new features and capabilities can be easily upgraded through the Ethernet port.
- Versatile mounting options
?The MKP 3000 fits into a three-gang wall plate and includes an opening to accommodate up to four single space MAAP - Mini Architectural Adapter Plates. It can be installed on a conference table or podium, or in a wall, using any standard 2.5-inch deep masonry or surface mount box.
- Optional MKP 10 MAAP 10-key keypad
?Enables quick and easy creation of I/O ties, and is ideal for larger switching systems.
