Current <strong>Firmware</strong> Revision: 2.03<br />

The following notes provide known firmware issues and release history for the Extron CrossPoint 450 Plus<br />

and MAV Plus matrix switchers. For more information please call your Extron Applications Engineer.<br />

<strong>Release</strong> notes Updated: August 7, 2008<br />

<strong>Firmware</strong> Updated: July 18, 2007<br />

Extron Products Affected: CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus matrix switchers<br />

(I/O sizes 24x12 though 32x32)<br />

<strong>Firmware</strong> part number: 19-1320-50<br />

Current Engineering Revision: E17615<br />

Current <strong>Firmware</strong> Revision Affected: 2.02 (Resolved the first issue)<br />

Current <strong>Firmware</strong>: 2.01<br />

TECH NOTES<br />

Units with <strong>Firmware</strong> version 1.00 cannot be updated to version 2.0 or higher – contact Extron<br />

for update information.<br />

<strong>Firmware</strong> version 2.01 is the current firmware but is not posted to the website. Version 2.02 was never<br />

released in shipping units.<br />

KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES with firmware 2.03<br />

Under the Control folder of the webpage, tying an Input to all Outputs by clicking the Input number will be<br />

limited to the number of outputs in the switcher.<br />

Example, if the unit configuration is 24x12 or 32x16, you can only tie inputs 1 to 12 or 1 to 16 to all<br />

outputs. For a 24x12 unit, tying Inputs 13 through 24 to all outputs in the above manor will not execute<br />

properly. No connections are made.<br />

This is a limitation of the SIS quick tie (single input to all outputs command)<br />

Example (esc)+Q13*! Quick multiple tie - tie input 13 to all outputs<br />

The web page is using this command for making ties.<br />

Webpage individual ties, SIS individual input to output quick tie commands, Front Panel Controls and<br />

Windows Control Program are working and not affected with this issue.<br />

FIRMWARE RELEASE HISTORY<br />

Engineering Revision Affected: PER 1111<br />

<strong>Firmware</strong> Revision Affected: 2.01<br />

Date of Occurrence: Units shipped with firmware V 2.01<br />

The following is a list of issues changes and fixes in this revision:<br />

• Corrected a phantom switching condition – When controlling the matrix primarily through<br />

remote control and then making breakaway switches (audio only or video only) from the front panel<br />

control buttons, the switcher would recall from memory a previously-executed crosspoint tie. This has<br />

been corrected.<br />

• Corrected the Command Response Tags in VERBOSE Mode – Command responses for queries<br />

as to the switcher’s state now return tags when the IP and RS-232 ports are set to VERBOSE mode 2<br />

or 3 (Response Tags).<br />

ASCII (Telnet) URL Encoded (Web)** Unit response<br />

Set verbose mode Esc x22CV ↵ W x22CV| Vrb x22 ↵<br />

View verbose mode Esc CV ↵ WCV| x22 ↵<br />

x22<br />

= Verbose/Response Mode: 0=clear/none; 1=verbose mode; 2=tagged responses<br />

for queries; 3=verbose mode and tagged responses for queries. (default = 0 for<br />

telnet connections, 1 for RS-232 host control).<br />

Note: If “tagged responses” is enabled, all read commands will return the constant<br />

string plus the data, like setting the value does.<br />

Verbose mode- Provides unit responses when commands are issued through another control port<br />

or front panel control.<br />

• Corrected the SIS Read Commands for Input Tie(s) – SIS read commands “&”, “%”, “#” and<br />

“$” now respond with the input number only when the control port set to verbose mode 2 or 3<br />

(tagged responses).<br />

• Corrected the SIS Read Command for Presets – SIS read command for presets did not have<br />

tags assigned for Verbose modes 2 and 3. This has been corrected.<br />

have tags assigned for Verbose modes 2 and 3. This has been corrected.<br />

• Corrected the SIS Command for Viewing Output Mutes- SIS command for viewing output<br />

mutes formerly had a “garbage tag” assigned for verbose modes 2 and 3. This has been corrected.<br />

• Corrected the front panel response when a third party control is active – In prior revisions,<br />

the switcher did not respond correctly when changes were made with a third party control system.<br />

Commands were executed but the front panel View response was incorrect. For example:<br />

When the switcher was reset (Esc ZXXX) using Telnet, the switcher front panel did not update<br />

pending ties and continued to show the previous ties (using the View button) until another input was<br />

selected and the tie viewed again.<br />

This has been corrected.<br />

• Corrected the Absolute Reset Command “Esc ZQQQ (cr)” and Press and hold the Reset<br />

button until the Front Panel I/O buttons blink twice (for 3232 without reset LED) then<br />

immediately press and release again (Mode 5 in other models) – In prior firmware revisions,<br />

the command to reset the switcher, Esc ZQQQ (absolute), gave the correct response but did not<br />

execute the full reset; it only reset the IP related settings.<br />

Correct operation of this function has been resolved, Absolute reset clears all ties and presets, resets<br />

all audio gains and volumes, RGB delays, Rooms and I/O groups to the default values. It also resets<br />

the serial control port back to default conditions (RS-232, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no<br />

parity, no flow control).<br />

• Corrected the Reset the Whole Switcher Command “Esc ZXXX (cr)” and Press and hold<br />

both I/O buttons while applying power to the switcher – In prior firmware revisions, the<br />

command to reset the whole switcher, Esc ZXXX does not include resetting the serial port back<br />

default conditions. It only clears all ties and presets, resets all gains and volumes to the default<br />

values. Correct operation of this function has been resolved, including the resetting of the serial<br />

control port back to default conditions (RS-232, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow<br />

control).<br />

The following new features have been added to the Series:<br />

1. Advanced front panel control (Executive Mode command update)<br />

A functional change has been made regarding user access to certain advanced set-up and control features<br />

that are available from the front panel.<br />

The advanced features can be enabled or view only (default).<br />

When enabled, advanced features can be accessed and adjusted through front panel control.<br />

When view only (default), advanced features can be accessed but cannot be adjusted through front<br />

panel control.<br />

other than View is performed.<br />

2. Webpage new features<br />

1. Under Control / Set and View Ties page, erasing tie(s) is now possible.<br />

2. Under Control / Global Presets page, when a preset is saved or renamed, the preset number box<br />

turns BLUE for reference.<br />

3. SIS “LS” command update for the CrossPoint 450 Plus models<br />

The “0LS” command allows the user to verify active sources by polling all inputs for valid sync<br />

signals. The unit will respond with a string of numbers, “0” if no signal is present and a “1” if there<br />

is a sync signal present at the input.<br />
