CHAPTER 1 SWITCHER SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.1 Introduction

The Presentation Switcher is a high performance, zero-second latency switching

equipment with simple 3x1 transmission interfaces. It is a switcher and also a converter

means that it can handle virtually video/audio signals on its 3 HDMI inputs (PS-301) or 1

HDMI/1 VGA inputs (PS-301M). Split the HDMI signal and mix with the audio signal

comes from the MIC input interface integrated the optical SPDIF or R/L stereo audio

output signal. (R/L feature is only for PS-301M) The built-in converter handles analog to

digital conversion, as well as the signals conversion is virtually converted to any output

equipments including any projector, TV or other audio amplifier. Built-in extender

interfaces allowing you to integrate external extensible accessory devices to transmit

data or to over long distances up to 70 meters.

The Switcher can be controlled in some ways; the front panel offers input/output

selection and audio configured control, as well as an IR extender connected to rear

panel for user to control the PS-301 series with an IR controller.

Use the HDMI/VGA+Audio connecting cable to connect the Input serial jack (HDMI IN/

VGA IN/Audio IN) to the output source jack of the Blu-ray/DVD player displays/graphics

workstations/PC.

Figure 5-3 Input Connections

5.2 Output Connections

- Use the HDMI cable to connect the output jack (OUT1 ~ OUT2 with HDMI interface)

on the rear panel to the input jack of the projector, video recorder, display, HD TV or

multiplexer directly.

- Or use the Cat.5e cable to connect the output RJ-45 jack (OUT1 ~ OUT2 with RJ-45

interface) on the rear panel to the LINK IN jack of the Extender. Through the Extender,

you can extend the transmission distance and over-long configuring the projector,

5.3 Multiple Connections

- MIC: Connected to the microphone.

- SPDIF: Uses the SPDIF cable with RCA or Toslink connector to connect the SPDIF

port on the rear panel to the AVR device. Then, transmit signals through coaxial or

fibre optic of SPDIF cable.

- Audio R/L: Uses the Audio R/L cable to connect the R/L port to DVD Player for audio

connection.

- YPbPr: Uses the YPbPr cable to connect the YPbPr port to DVD Player for video

connection.

- Use the RS232 cable with 3.5mm connector to connect the RS232 port on the rear

panel to the RS232 jack of PC.

- Use the IR Receiver and IR Blaster to connect the IR ports (RX/TX) on the real panel

for remote control.



The Switcher integrates the IR RX/TX and RS232 input signals and outputs the

signals via the RJ-45 port simultaneously. Through the extender, the output signals

will be transmitted to the remote device.

5.4 Remote Control Connection

Use the RS232 connecting cable to connect the computer serial communication port

(COM1 or COM2) to the RS232 communication port of the Switcher. The computer can

then be used to control the Switcher after installing of application software. Aside from

using the front panel keys for switching operation, you are also permitted to use the

RS232 connection port for a remote operation.

which specifies the physical male and female connectors as well as the pin assignments

of the wires in a LAN cable. (A common LAN cable is available.) And the LED indicators

show you the status of output transmission.

5.7.3 Output Cable

HDBaseT was designed to provide Full HD performance up to 100/70 meters of Cat.5e

or superior cables. In a typical installation, the cable is stretched to its full length between

the HDBaseT Transmitter device and the HDBaseT Receiver device. However

sometimes, especially, in demonstrations or in a lab environment, the cable is rolled

randomly in small turns for convenience. The randomly rolled UTP cable suffers

additional signal impairments (compared to straight cable) and therefore the maximal

operating reach might be reduced. When a Cat.5e cable is randomly rolled, it is

recommended to limit its length to approximate 50 meters. Rolling a Cat.5e cable around

a 70cm fixed diameter plastic drum has just a minor effect on the FEXT (Far End Cross

Talk) when compared to a fully stretched cable.

The VS010 family features the following:

When the VS010 is in low power mode (LPPF1/2), the sample rate of the PDIF channel

is reduced to 100 KHz. This implies that high data rates may not be used when the

VS010 is in LPPF.

CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING

1. What to do if LCD is fail in display?

Answer: Check the connection of power cord is not loosening and the power cord is in a

good status having no any damage. Check the power source is normally.

2. What to do if the Switcher front panel keys switching not responsive?

Answer: The Switcher front panel keys employ scanning testing and require longer

response time. Press the keys for 2 seconds and then release. This way, key

switching will be responsive in operation.

3. What to do if the serial port (usually refer to the computer serial port) fails to control the

Switcher?

Answer: Check that the communication port set by the control software is correctly

connected to the corresponding serial port of the equipment. Also, check if the

computer communication port is in good order. If the Switcher supports DIP

configuration, please check the ID address and DIP Switcher is configured

correctly.

4. What to do if the corresponding audio signal fails to output during Switcher switching?

Answer:

(1) Check if there is signal on the input end. If there is no input signal, it could be that the

input connection cable is broken or the connector gets loosen. You are advised to

replace the connection cable.

(2) Check if there is signal on the output end. If there is no output signal, it could be that

the cable is broken or the connector gets loosen. You are advised to replace the

connection cable.

(3) Check if the output port number is the same as the controlled port number.

(4) Check the connections of input and output ports are correctly.

(5) If none of the above circumstances happen, it could be internal failure of the product

itself. You must send for repair by qualified technical engineers.

6. What to do if the Switcher panel keys and communication ports are out of order?

Answer: Check if the equipment power input is in good contact and the computer

communication ports are in good order. If yes, it could be some internal failure of the

product, please send for repair by qualified technical engineer.

7. What to do if operation and function failure occurred?

Answer: Check if the equipment and the Switcher system are in proper connection. If

the problem persists, send the product to the maintenance center for repair.

8. How to avoid the equipment failure due to the high temperature?

Answer: Place the equipment in a ventilate location. If it is still not to be improved,

please check with the build-in fan whether is damaged. Or contact your agency for

helping.

9. What to do if IR function failure occurred?

Answer: Check the battery of remote controller is NOT running low and the IR connector
