EDID Minder

Managing EDID

Factory Loaded EDID

EDID Minder ensures that each source connected to an input sees the EDID of a display, even when that source is not selected for a display.

Depending on the selected EDID mode, the DXP PLUS can store the EDID of the connected display automatically (default), or you can manually select a factory EDID file from a predetermined list. This EDID file is written to a file located at each selected input within the supported video group. All inputs support unique EDID emulation, HDCP, and HDCP Authorization enabling or disabling.

You can manage EDID files using PCS (see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Help file). You can also select and import EDID files using SIS commands (see the EDID Commands on page93). (EDID cannot be managed via the front panel.)

The factory loaded EDID stored on the unit are taken from the Extron EDID Standards Folder, which is created on the DXP PLUS by PCS. You can choose an EDID file from the folder link via PCS or SIS commands. The HDMI inputs support digital Extron EDID files that are 2 blocks or 256 bytes. The second block contains audio information. The HDMI EDID support 2-channel PCM audio. The default Extron factory EDID file 1080p @ 60 Hz.

Assigned Output EDID

The DXP PLUS has four or eight memory slots, depending on the model, for the EDID of the display connected to the output of the matrix switcher.

The unit automatically saves EDID information from the HDMI outputs whenever an output is connected. The EDID information is saved until a new display or device is detected, and the new EDID information overwrites the previous one. The EDID of each output is saved and made available to any input slot. Assigned output EDID can be directly assigned to any input via PCS.

Input connectors — Connect HDMI source devices (or DVI sources with the

appropriate adapters) to these female type A HDMI input connectors.

LockIt cable lacing brackets, one for each HDMI input and output connector, are provided with the DXP PLUS. These brackets can be used to secure the HDMI cables to the DXP PLUS connectors to reduce stress on the HDMI connectors and prevent signal loss due to loose cable connections.

For information on attaching the LockIt brackets, see Securing the HDMI Connectors

Using the LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket on page18).

Output connectors — Connect HDMI output devices (or DVI devices with the

appropriate adapters) to these female type A HDMI output connectors for buffered video output. See Securing the HDMI Connectors Using the LockIt HDMI Cable

Lacing Bracket to attach the brackets.

Reset and power LED — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) This green

LED remains lit while the DXP PLUS has power. While the Reset button (D) is being pressed and held, this LED blinks every 3 seconds to indicate the level of reset that is initiated if the button is released at that point (see Resetting on page55 for more information).

NOTE: The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been

set to the device serial number.

Performing a unit factory reset by entering an E ZQQQ } SIS command (see page 60) or a reset mode 5 (see page 40) via the rear panel Reset button removes the serial number passwords, leaving the unit with no password.

Reset button — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) This recessed button

initiates four levels (modes) of reset on the DXP PLUS switcher. To initiate the different reset levels, use a pointed object such as a small Philips screwdriver or a stylus to press and hold the button while the switcher is running or while it is being powered up (see

Resetting).

Remote RS-232 port — Connect a host device, such as a computer or touchpanel

control, to the switcher via this 3-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector for serial RS-232 control.

Connect the 9-pin connector end of the RS-232 cable to the serial port of your computer or control system (see Connecting to the Remote RS-232 Port on page17 for more information).

LAN port — Connect the DXP PLUS switcher to a computer, a network switch, or

a control system via this RJ-45 connector. You can use a computer to configure and control the networked switcher with SIS commands, the PCS configuration software, or the HTML page that is embedded on the switcher (see Connecting to the LAN Port on page14).

Ethernet connection indicators — The green and amber LEDs on the LAN connector indicate the status of the Ethernet connection. The green (link) LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily. The amber (activity) LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.

The default Ethernet settings are:

IP address — 192.168.254.254 Subnet mask — 255.255.0.0 Gateway address — 0.0.0.0

Connecting to the LAN Port

Insert T

Crossover Cable Straight-through Cable

When connecting a computer to the DXP PLUS LAN port, it is essential that you use the correct Ethernet cables, and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout (see figure8). Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 m).

NOTES:

• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet

or Fast Ethernet.

• Do not stretch or bend the cables, as this can cause transmission errors.

The cable used depends on your network speed. The switcher supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.

• 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.

• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

The Ethernet cable must be properly terminated for your application as either a crossover or a straight-through cable.

• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the computer and the

DXP PLUS switcher

• Patch (straight-through) cable — Connection of the DXP PLUS to a network via a

network switch

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Installation 14

Connecting Power to the DXP 42 HD 4K PLUS

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. The wires must be kept separate while the power

supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

ATTENTION : Risque de choc électrique. Les deux cordons d’alimentation

doivent être tenus à l’écart l’un de l’autre quand l’alimentation est branchée. Couper l’alimentation avant de faire l’installation électrique.

ATTENTION:

• The power supply must not be permanently ﬁxed to the building structure or

similar structures.

• La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être ﬁxée de façon permanente à une

structure de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.

• Do not place the power supply within environmental air handling spaces or the

wall cavity.

• Ne pas placer les sources d’alimentation dans une zone de traitement de l’air ni

dans une cavité murale.

• The installation must be in accordance with the applicable provisions of the

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 16.

• Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique

au National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical Code, partie1, section16.

• Use a UL Listed external power supply with rated output 12 VDC, minimum

0.5 A, NEC Class 2, or LPS output.

• Utilisez une source d’alimentation externe certiﬁée UL, avec une tension

nominale 12 Vcc, 0,5 A minmum, NEC Class 2, ou sortie LPS.

• The power supply must be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV

processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to a podium, a desk, or an equipment rack within a dedicated closet.

• La source d’alimentation doit être située à proximité de l’équipement audiovisuel

Extron dans un emplacement habituel, avec un degré de pollution 2, ﬁxée à une estrade, un bureau, ou dans une baie technique à l’intérieur d’un placard dédié.

• Always use a power supply speciﬁed by Extron for the HD CTL 100. Use of an

unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certiﬁcation and may cause damage to the supply and the HD CTL 100.

• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron.

L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit ﬁnal.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Installation 16

Connect the provided 12 VDC, 0.5 A power supply to the HD CTL 100 as follows:

(1.5 A, 12 VDC)

1. Wire one of the supplied orange 2-pole captive screw connectors as shown below.

Smooth

SECTION A–A

3/16” (5 mm) Max.

Figure 10. Wiring the Power Connector

ATTENTION:

• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. UL

listed junction boxes are recommended.

• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé

uniquement. Des boîtiers électriques approuvés UL sont recommandés.

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal

length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If they are any longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If they are any shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de

les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.

2. Plug the connector into the orange 2-pole captive screw power connector on the rear

panel. In the example shown in figure 10, a power supply is being connected to the power connector of an HD CTL 100.

After connecting an input or output device to an HDMI connector, secure the connector in place with the provided LockIt bracket (see the illustration at right):

1. Plug one or both HDMI cables into the panel

connection (1).

2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw

from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2).

3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket onto the screw and

slide it up against the HDMI connectors. Tighten the screw to secure the bracket (3).

ATTENTION:

• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield to which it

fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.

• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel

elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connectors and the bracket (4).

5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap,

then remove any excess length (5).

Definitions

The following terms, which apply to Extron digital matrix switchers, are used in this guide:

• Tie — An input-to-output connection

• Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to

more than one input.)

• Configuration — One or more ties or sets of ties

• Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also

called configuration 0)

• EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) — Resolution, refresh rate, pixel clock,

and audio channel configuration information for a display device. This information is stored in memory at system power-up and each time a new display device is connected. The EDID is then made available to be assigned to any input. This feature is available only through PCS (see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Help File).

• Global preset — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) A configuration that has

been stored, consisting of a complete map of all input and output connections. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. The DXP HD 4K PLUS can store up to 16 global presets in memory.

• Room — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) A subset of outputs that are

logically related to each other, as determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of which can consist of 1 to 16 outputs. Each room can have up to 10 presets.

• Room preset — (DXP 44, 84, 88, 168, and 1616 PLUS only) A configuration consisting

of outputs in a single room that has been stored. When a room preset is recalled from memory, it becomes the current configuration for the outputs assigned to that room only (none of the other outputs are affected). Room presets can be saved and recalled only via SIS commands or the PCS software.

DXP HD 4K PLUS Series • Operation 19

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

All DXP HD 4K PLUS switchers have input and output buttons. Depending on the operation, the button LEDs blink or light steadily when the button is pressed. The front panel buttons may have multiple functions, which are classified as primary and secondary.

Front Panel Buttons and LEDs

• DXP 168 and 1616 PLUS — The front panel buttons are tricolor and have internal

LEDs that can light green if video has been selected for the associated input, red if audio has been selected, or amber if both video and audio have been selected. Both of these models have 16 input and 16 output buttons, regardless of the number of rear panel output connectors they have.

• DXP 44, 84, and 88 PLUS — At the right of each button is an LED that lights to

indicate the button status or current function. The button LEDs are bicolor and light green if video has been selected for the associated input or red if audio has been selected. The DXP 44, 84, and 88 PLUS all have eight input buttons and output buttons, regardless of the number of rear panel connectors. The front panels also contain HDCP and signal status LEDs, which indicate the encryption status and signal presence for each input.

NOTE: Although the DXP 44 and 84 both have eight input and eight output

buttons, not all these buttons are functional for making ties:

• DXP HD 4K PLUS 44 — Only input and output buttons 1 through 4 are

functional, except for creating and recalling presets (see Saving and Recalling

Presets on page42).

• DXP HD 4K PLUS 84 — All input buttons are enabled, but only output

buttons 1 through 4 are functional, except for creating and recalling presets.

When the DXP 44, 84, or 88 switcher is in power-save mode 1 or 2 (see the commands for Power Save Mode on page84), all front-panel indicators are unlit with the exception of the I/O Video LED, which blinks continuously.

• DXP 42 PLUS — The DXP 42 PLUS front panel has four input buttons and two output

buttons. To the right of each button is a green LED that lights when the button is pressed. After approximately 5 seconds, the LED turns off. If a button is pressed for an input with ties to another input, the buttons for all tied inputs light as well.

See figure12 (DXP 1616 and 168), figure13 (DXP 44, 84, and 88), and figure14 (DXP 42) on the next page for diagrams of the rear panels of all models.

Front Panel Features

Config port — This USB mini-B port serves a similar communications function to

the rear panel Remote port, but is easier to access than the rear port after the matrix switcher has been installed and cabled. Use a USB type A to mini-B cable to connect this port to a USB connector on the computer to enable SIS commands to be sent from the computer, connection to the PCS configuration software, and uploading firmware.

NOTE: A front panel Config port connection and a rear panel Remote port

connection can both be active at the same time. If commands are sent simultaneously to both ports, the command that reaches the DXP PLUS first is handled first.
