SW HDMI Series • Introduction 1

Introduction

This section gives an overview of the SW HDMI Series switchers. Topics include:

• About this Guide

• About the SW HDMI Series Switchers

• Features

• Application Diagram

About this GuideThis guide describes the Extron SW HDMI Series switchers and discusses how to install,

conigure, and operate them.In this guide, the term “SW HDMI Series” refers to both the SW2 HDMI and theSW4 HDMI switchers. “Switcher” and “SW HDMI” are used interchangeably to refer toany single unit.

About the SW HDMI Series SwitchersThe Extron SW HDMI Series are two and four input, one output, High-definitionMultimedia Interface (HDMI) switchers. They allow multiple HDMI signals, including digitalvideo, 3D signals, and embedded multi-channel digital audio, to be switched to onecompatible display. These switchers support all standard single-link HDMI (up to 225 MHz)and DVI 1.0 signal formats. They are compatible at 60 Hz with all HDTV resolutions up

to 1080p and PC resolutions up to 1920x1200, with 12-bit color, and are ully compliantwith High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).

The SW HDMI switchers can be controlled via the front panel, the RS-232 interface, orthe optional IR 102 Remote Control. You can select inputs by pressing the ront panelbuttons, enabling auto-input switching, entering Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commandsvia RS-232, or pressing buttons on the IR 102.

Features• HDCP authentication — The SW HDMI switchers check the sources and the display

individually for HDCP compliance. HDCP LEDs for each input and the output indicatesuccessful HDCP authentication.

• Auto-input switching — The SW HDMI Series can be configured to automaticallyswitch to the highest-numbered active input when the switcher detects a signal.

• Signal detection LEDs — Each input and the output are represented by front panelLEDs, which light if a signal is present for the input or output and there is activity onthe Transition Minimized Dierential Signaling (TMDS) lines.

• Rack and furniture mounting — The SW HDMI Series can be mounted on a rackshel or under a desk or podium with an optional mounting kit.




• Remote configuration and control — The switcher can be conigured via an RS-232or USB connection via SIS commands (see “Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS)Commands” in the “Remote Communication and Control” section).

• EDID Minder — A proprietary EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) managementprocess from Extron, the EDID Minder manages the EDID between a digital displaydevice and one or more input sources. By maintaining continuous EDID communication

with all sources, EDID Minder ensures that digital sources power up properly andmaintain their video output, whether or not they are actively connected to the digitaldisplay device.

• EDID modes — Either of the following EDID modes can be selected by SIS commands:

• Automatic, in which the SW HDMI reads the EDID data when a display is connectedand stores the data in memory (deault mode)

• User-assigned, in which you can assign one of 46 factory-provided files of EDIDinormation to each input. Four undeined slots are also provided, to which you cansave the EDID of connected displays as additional EDID files. The assigned EDID doesnot change i a dierent display device is connected. This mode is useul or trouble-shooting purposes.

Each time power is applied to the output device or the display is replaced, the SW HDMIeither reads the EDID information from the display or reloads the user-assigned EDIDinormation. It then writes the inormation to non-volatile memory on the inputs. Theinput devices can read this inormation as they reboot (see “EDID Modes” in the“Operation” section or more inormation).

• Output compatibility correction — The SW HDMI monitors the EDID on theconnected output device to ensure it is compatible with the currently selected inputsignal. The ollowing corrections are made to the signal as necessary each time an inputis selected:

• Interface format: If the connected output device is DVI and the selected source isHDMI, the signal is reformatted for DVI. If the output device is an HDMI device, noreformatting is necessary because HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI.

• Video color bit depth: I the connected output device does not support the colorbit depth o the selected source signal, it is truncated to the next level down that issupported; for example, 12-bit >10-bit > 8-bit. Bit depth truncation can be forcedvia SIS commands to always downgrade to 8-bit, disabling deep color.

• IR remote control (optional) — The hand-held IR 102 Remote Control can controlthe SW HDMI via infrared signals that it sends to the switcher from a distance of up to30 eet (9 m).

• Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — To prevent unauthorized access tothe switchers, the ront panel controls can be locked via the ront panel buttons or SIScommands (RS-232, USB, and IR control remain available).

• Input cable equalization — Automatic input cable equalization compensates or signal

loss when long cable assemblies are used.• Power supply — An external 12 VDC, 1 A power supply with a 2-pole captive screw

connector accepts 100 to 240 VAC.

d Remote and auto-input switching connector — This 5-pole, 3.5 mm captivescrew connector (labeled “Remote”) can be used or RS-232 communication with theswitcher, including irmware updates, and to enable auto-input switching.

• To enable RS-232 control, connect the Tx (transmit), Rx (receive) and G (ground)pins to the serial port o your computer (see “Wiring for RS-232 Control” onpage 7).

• To enable auto-input switching, short pins 4 and 5 o this connector together.In auto-input switch mode, the switcher automatically switches to the highestnumbered active input (see “Enabling Auto-input Switching”on page 10).

Wiring the Power Connector (Optional)A 12 VDC, 1 A desktop power supply is provided with the SW HDMI. Should it becomenecessary to attach a 2-pole captive screw connector to your Extron power supply, followthese instructions:

CAUTIONS: • The power supply must not be permanently ixed to the building structureor similar structures.

• The power supply must not be located within environmental airhandling spaces or the wall cavity.

• The installation must be in accordance with the applicable provisionsof the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 725 and theCanadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 16.

• The power supply must be located in the same vicinity as the ExtronAV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2,secured to a podium, a desk, or an equipment rack within a dedicatedcloset.

• Always use a power supply specified for the SW HDMI by Extron.Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliancecertiication and may cause damage to the supply and the switcher.

1. Cut the DC output cord to the length needed.

2. Strip the jacket to expose 3/16 inch (5 mm) o the conductors.

CAUTIONS: • Exposing more than 3/16 inch (5 mm) of the copper wirescould allow the stripped wires to touch each other, causing ashort circuit. This could result in the external DC power supplyoverheating and burning.

• Stripping the wires to expose less than the recommended amountmay cause them to slide out o the connector too easily, even ithey are tightly pinched by the captive screws.

• Do not tin the stripped power supply leads beore attaching thecaptive screw plug to them. Tinned wires are not as secure in thecaptive screw connectors and can be easily pulled out. They mayalso break ater being bent several times.

3. Slide the leads into the supplied 2-pole captive screw plug and secure them, using asmall screwdriver.

WARNING: The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the powersupply is plugged in. Remove power beore wiring.




4. To veriy the power cord polarity beore connecting the plug, connect the powersupply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

5. Conigure the switcher as desired using SIS commands (see the RemoteCommunication and Control section, beginning on page 19, or inormation onavailable commands).




Enabling Auto-input SwitchingYou can set up the SW HDMI to automatically select the active, connected input basedon detection o an active video signal. I two or more inputs are active, the input withthe highest number is selected (for example, input 4 on an SW4 HDMI switcher). Whenauto-input switching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel lights andthe ront panel input selection buttons are disabled.

To enable auto-input switching:

1. Cut a small piece o wire to use as a jumper.

2. Insert the ends o the wire into slots 4 and 5 o the provided 5-polecaptive screw plug, connecting pins 4 and 5 together.

3. Use a small screwdriver to tighten the two screws above pin slots 4 and5 o the plug, so that the jumper wire ends remain securely in place (seethe illustration at right).

4. Insert the plug into the 5-pole Auto-SW captive screw connector on therear panel.

NOTE: Auto-input switching utilizes the +5 V signal (pin 18 of the HDMI inputconnector) to detect an active source (see figure 5 on page 7). This+5 V signal should be present only when the input source is poweredon. However, some sources may also provide this signal while in standbymode.

Figure 9 shows an SW4 HDMI with a jumper connecting pins 4 and 5 to enable auto-inputswitching.

d Signal status LEDs —

• Inputs: Each input has a corresponding numbered Signal LED, which illuminateswhen a source is connected to the input connector and TMDS clock activity isdetected on it.

NOTE: If the source device connected to the selected input is HDCPencrypted (requires HDCP authentication), the corresponding signalLED may not light unless HDCP has been authenticated.

• Output: The Output Signal LED lights when a TMDS signal is being transmitted tothe connected output device.

e HDCP status LEDs —

• Inputs: Each input has a corresponding numbered HDCP LED. If the connectedsource requires HDCP, the corresponding LED illuminates when authentication issuccessul.

NOTE: HDCP is pre-authenticated on each input regardless of the currentlyselected source.

• Output: The Output HDCP LED lights if the currently selected input requires HDCPand the connected output device has been successully authenticated.

NOTE: HDCP is re-authenticated on the output whenever a new input isselected.

f Config port — Connect a USB cable (USB A to mini B) between your computer andthis female USB mini B port to configure and control the switcher via SIS commands orthe Universal Switcher Control Program and to update the firmware.




Operations

Powering on the Switcher

To power on the SW HDMI:

1. Connect all input and output devices to the rear panel connectors on the switcher (see

“Rear Panel Features” on page 5 or the rear panel connections).2. Power on the display.

3. Plug the power supply into the 2-pole captive screw power connector on the rearpanel. Ater approximately 4 seconds, the ollowing takes place:

• The unit perorms a sel-test, during which the ront panel Auto Switch, Input,Signal, and HDCP LEDs each blink once in sequence from left to right. If theself-test completes with no errors, the LED for the most recently selected inputremains lit.

• The switcher reads the available EDID information from the connected outputdevice and writes it to memory on each input. When power is removed, thesesettings remain in memory and are in eect when power is reapplied.

NOTE: If EDID Minder is in automatic mode, the settings revert to the defaultEDID unless a display is connected to the HDMI output (see “EDIDModes” on page 15).

4. Power on the input devices.

Selecting an Input

To switch (tie) an input to the output, press the desired input button on the ront panel(ensure that auto-input switching is not enabled). The LED corresponding to the selectedinput button lights.

• To determine the current configuration, check the front panel input LEDs. The one that

is lit indicates the selected input. The LED remains lit until a new input is selected.• Only one input can be switched to the output at a time.

Other ways to select an input include using SIS commands (see the Input Selection commands in the “Remote Communication and Control” section) or optional IR remotecontrol (see “Using the Optional IR 102 Remote Control” on the next page).

Resetting

To reset the switcher to its actory deault settings:

1. Press and hold the Input 1 button while power is being applied to the unit.

2. Continue holding the Input 1 button until the power-up sequence completes.




Using the Optional IR 102 Remote Control

The optional hand-held IR 102 Remote Control (part #70-224-10) lets you remotelyperorm unctions that are also available through the ront panel buttons and SIScommands.

The IR receiver port on the front panel is located to the right of the Auto Switch LED. Itreceives signals rom the remote control i they are sent rom within a 40-degree arc to theright or let o direct line o sight between the remote control and the switcher receiver,and rom no more than 30 eet (9 m) away (see igure 12).

Locking and Unlocking the Front Panel (Executive Mode)

Front panel lock mode disables all ront panel controls, locking out users rom thosefunctions (RS-232, USB, and IR control remain available). Putting the switcher in lock modeenhances security by protecting against inappropriate or accidental changes to settings. Ia front panel button is pressed during lock mode, all front panel LEDs blink once.

To lock or unlock the ront panel, press and hold Input buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously or3 seconds, then release. The front panel LEDs blink three times, indicating that executivemode has been enabled or disabled (see igure 13).

EDID Modes

The SW HDMI switchers utilize the EDID Minder, which maintains EDID communication toall connected sources, whether or not any of the sources are selected. EDID informationconsists o the display resolution, reresh rate, data rate, supported audio ormats, andother features. By factory default, the EDID stored on all inputs contains information for anative resolution of 720p @ 60 Hz, 2-channel audio.

EDID Minder can be configured in two modes: automatic and user-assigned.

Automatic EDID mode

In automatic mode, the switcher automatically stores EDID from the connected display andcommunicates it to the inputs; no other coniguration is required. This is the deault mode.

• Reading and storage process — Each time a display is connected to the HDMI

output while the power is connected, the SW HDMI reads the EDID from the displaydevice and stores it at each input. This inormation is retained ater the display isdisconnected; however, it is overwritten i a new display is connected or a userassigned EDID file is selected.

• Default EDID — When the switcher is in automatic mode, the default EDID(720p @ 60 Hz) is stored at each input until a display is connected, at which time it isoverwritten.




User-assigned EDID mode

In this mode, you can select an EDID file that is stored on the switcher at the factory.The selected EDID is stored at the inputs and is not overwritten; the switcher does notautomatically obtain EDID information from the display.

You may want to use this mode i there is a problem with automatic communication o

the EDID information from the attached display, and you want to ensure that the correctinformation is stored on the inputs. Also, because this mode disables automatic EDIDreading and storage, you can retain one set of EDID information on the inputs and nothave it changed when another display is connected.

• Factory-loaded EDID files — You can select from a list of 46 EDID files that areloaded on the switcher at the factory. Each EDID file contains a unique nativeresolution and audio support (i applicable). The EDID table on the next page showsthe EDID files that are provided with the switcher.

• User-loaded EDID file — In addition to the 46 EDID files provided with the switcher,our empty locations (47 through 50) are provided. To these slots you can save theEDID of the display that is currently connected to the output port of the switcher. Anyof these four files can then be selected as one of the user-assigned EDID files.

Changing the EDID mode

EDID modes can be switched only by SIS command. By default, the SW HDMI is inautomatic EDID mode. To change between automatic and user-assigned modes, enter theollowing SIS command:

E A * X% EDID }

where X% is 0 (automatic mode) or the number of the user-assigned EDID file that youwant to select (1 through 50) (see the “Remote Communication and Control” sectionfor instructions for entering SIS commands via RS-232 or USB).

NOTE: The switcher remains in the selected EDID mode after power is recycled. If theunit is reset to actory deaults, it reverts to automatic mode.

See the table on the next page for a list of supported EDIDs.

19SW HDMI Series • Remote Communication and Control

RemoteCommunication

and Control

This section describes remote operation of the SW HDMI switchers. Topics include:

• Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands

• Updating Firmware Using Firmware Loader

Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) CommandsThe SW HDMI can be remotely set up and controlled via Extron SIS commands that areissued rom a host computer or other device, such as a control system. SIS commands canbe issued via RS-232 rom the computer serial port to the rear panel Remote port, or viaUSB from the computer USB port to the front panel Config port. (See “Wiring for RS-232Control” on page 7 or “Connecting to the USB Port” on page 8 to connect to theseports.)

Host-to-switcher Communications

SIS commands consist o one or more characters per ield. No special characters arerequired to begin or end a command sequence. You can enter these commands rom

your computer using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer orHyperTerminal. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes thecommand and sends a response to the host device.

Most responses from the SW HDMI to the host computer end with a carriage return anda line eed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end o the response character string. A string isone or more characters.

Switcher-initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel selection or a change in signal status takes place,the switcher responds by sending a message to the host, indicating what selection wasentered. No response is required rom the host.

The ollowing switcher-initiated message is displayed:(C) Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics HDMI Switcher Series, Vn.nn,60-641-nn

The switcher sends the copyright message when it first powers on. Vn.nn is the irmwareversion number; 60-641-nn is the switcher part number.

NOTE: This message is displayed only at power-up with an RS-232 connection.



SW HDMI Series • Remote Communication and Control 20

Error Responses

I the switcher is unable to execute a command it receives because the command is invalidor contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. Theollowing error response codes can be sent:

E01 – Invalid input channel number (out o range)E06 – Invalid input selection during auto-input switchingE10 – Invalid commandE13 – Invalid value (out o range)

Using the Command and Response Table

The command and response table, starting on page 21, lists valid ASCII andhexadecimal command codes, the switcher responses to the host, and a description o thecommand unction or the results o executing the command.

Rack Mounting

UL rack mounting guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation ofthe equipment in a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — I the equipment is installed in aclosed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature o the rackenvironment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Thereore, install theequipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature

(Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount o air lowrequired or sae operation o the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — When mounting the equipment in the rack, ensure thatuneven mechanical loading does not cause a hazardous condition.

4. Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit,consider the eect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection andsupply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding o rack-mountedequipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than directconnections to the branch circuit (or example, use o power strips).
