Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains information about the Extron YCS SW2 Switcher, and discusses how to install, conﬁ gure, and operate it.

The terms “YCS SW2,” “YCS,” and “Switcher” are used interchangeably throughout this manual.

About the YCS SW2

The Extron YCS SW2 is a high-performance, two input (one composite video and one S-video) switcher with three simultaneous outputs (one composite video and two S-video), digital transcoding and autoswitching capabilities, and digital time base correction (TBC). Using a 3-line NTSC/5-line PAL digital comb ﬁ lter, the YCS accepts NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, or SECAM composite video, and decodes the signal into Y (luma) and C (chroma) for S-video. As an encoder, it combines Y and C signals and outputs a composite video image.

Certain projectors have both video and S-video inputs, but can use only one of them at a time. The YCS SW2 solves this problem by autoswitching between composite video and S-video, then decoding the S-video to feed to the projector. (See ﬁ gure 1-1 under Application Diagrams, later in this chapter.)

The YCS SW2 can also be used at the output of a multi-format switcher, such as the Extron MPS 112, to automatically select between the video and S-video group outputs, sending a single S-video signal to the projector. (See ﬁ gure 1-2.)

Inputs can be selected by pressing the front panel buttons, by enabling autoswitching using a jumper wire, or by contact closure using a remote push-button device.

Digital time base correction — Time base correction stabilizes

the video signal in the time domain. This results in a signiﬁ cantly more stable image on the screen and better recording quality from input sources with unstable video signals, such as consumer VCRs and worn or multigeneration VHS tapes.

Simultaneous composite video and S-video outputs — One

composite video and two S-video outputs allow for recording and display at the same time.

Individually buffered S-video outputs — Two individually

buffered S-video outputs are provided on one female 4-pin mini DIN connector and a pair of female BNC connectors, for easy integration.

Contact closure remote control — Inputs can be selected

remotely using a user-supplied two-button contact closure device.

Quad standard compatibility — The digital quad standard

decoder/encoder provides for universal compatibility.

Enclosure — The YCS SW2 has a compact 1U high, ¼-rack

wide, 3 inches deep Versatools be easily placed or mounted in a variety of locations.

Power supply — An external 12 VDC power supply with a

two-pin captive screw connector accepts 100 to 240 VAC.

Rack and furniture mounting — The YCS SW2 can be mounted

on a rack shelf, under a desk or podium, or on a projector pole, with an optional mounting kit.

Installation and Operation

Installation Overview

To install and set up the YCS SW2, follow these steps:

Mount the YCS SW2 on a rack shelf, furniture, or projector

if desired.

Connect your composite video and/or S-video input

source(s) to one or both YCS input connectors.

Connect your output device(s) to the YCS composite video

and/or S-video output connector(s).

Wire the provided 2-pin captive screw connector to the

external power supply. (See Wiring the Power Connector, later in this chapter.)

If using autoswitching, insert the provided 5-pin captive

screw plug into the 5-pin connector on the YCS back panel, and jumper-connect pins 4 and 5 together. (See Autoswitching, later in this chapter.)

If using contact closure for input selection, connect a two-

button remote contact closure device to pins 1, 2, and 3 of the captive screw connector on the YCS rear panel. (See Contact Closure, later in this chapter.)

PMK 300 Projector Mount Kit

The PMK 300 Multi-Product Projector Mount Kit (#70-374-01) mounts up to three quarter-rack width products to a projector ceiling mount pole. The YCS SW2 can be mounted above the display device with the front panel facing either down or up. The quarter rack width plate can also be used to mount the YCS external desktop power supply.

Follow these steps to projector-mount the YCS SW2 using the PMK 300:

1. If necessary, remove the feet from the bottom of the YCS.

2. Mount the YCS to one of the bracket’s three mounting

plates. It can be vertically mounted facing either up or down, whichever is most convenient. See ﬁ gure 2-9.

• On the side mounting plates, the YCS is typically

mounted on the outside of the bracket.

On the front mounting plate, the device is typically

mounted on the inside of the bracket.

• For the YCS SW2 unit, use two of the supplied 4-40 x

3/16 screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the device to the bracket.

For the YCS power supply, use the two included tie

wraps to strap the power supply to the bracket.

3. Place the U-bolt around the ceiling pole and insert the two

legs of the U-bolt through the slotted holes on the bracket’s mounting plate, then through the round holes on the backing brace.

• For a typical (1.5” to 2.0” diameter) pole — You can

use the supplied square U-bolt, which ﬁ ts a typical ceiling pole.

• For a smaller or larger pole — Locally obtain a square

U-bolt that ﬁ ts your ceiling pole. The slotted holes on the bracket can accomodate a square U-bolt for pole sizes from 1.0” to 2.5” in diameter.

4. Secure the bracket to the U-bolt with the included hex

nuts, washers, and lock washers. Tighten the hex nuts just enough that they can be loosened by hand.

Wiring the Power Connector

To wire the connector for the external power supply,

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

2. Strip the jacket to expose 0.2 inches (5 mm) of the

conductors.

CAUTION

Exposing more than 0.2” (5 mm) of the copper

wires could allow the stripped wires to touch each other, causing a short circuit. This could result in the external DC power supply overheating and/or burning.

The ﬁ gure below shows how to wire the connector.

CAUTION

Do not tin the stripped power supply leads before

attaching the captive screw plug to them. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and can be easily pulled out. They may also break after being bent several times.

The two power cord wires must be kept separate

while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

Wiring the Captive Screw Connector

The 5-pin, 3.5 mm captive screw connector is used for optional push-button remote control of the YCS SW2, and/or to enable autoswitching between inputs connected to the YCS. The following ﬁ gure shows the pin assignments for the captive screw connector.

Stripping the wires to expose less than the recommended amount may cause them to slide out of the connector too easily, even if they are tightly pinched by the captive screws.

3. Slide the leads into the supplied 2-pin captive screw plug

and secure them, using an Extron Tweeker or other small screwdriver.

4. To verify the power cord’s polarity before connecting

it, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

Contact Closure

Pins 1, 2, and 3 of the captive screw connector enable input switching via a latching contact closure device.

If you want to select inputs remotely, you can connect a twobutton contact closure device to pins 1, 2, and 3 of the rear panel captive screw connector. When a contact closure device is connected, the front panel input selection buttons remain functional as well.

Autoswitching

You can set up the YCS to automatically select the active, connected input. If both inputs are active, selection defaults to input 2 (S-video). You enable autoswitching by connecting pins 4 and 5 of the rear panel captive screw connector with a small piece of wire that functions as a jumper. Autoswitching remains in effect as long as the jumper wire is connecting these two pins together.

When autoswitching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel lights, and the front panel input selection buttons are disabled.

To enable autoswitching, do the following:

1. Cut a small piece of wire to use as a jumper, and insert the

ends of the wire into pin holes 4 and 5 of the provided 5-pin captive screw plug, connecting pins 4 and 5 together as shown in ﬁ gure 2-13, below. Use an Extron Tweeker or other small screwdriver to tighten the plug’s pin 4 and 5 screws, so that the wire ends remain securely in place.

2. Insert the plug into the 5-pin captive screw connector on

the YCS rear panel.

Selecting an Input by Using the Buttons

The YCS SW2 has two inputs available — one composite video and one S-video. You can select either of these inputs by pressing the appropriate button on the front panel. When an input is selected, its LED lights and remains lit while its input source is active.

The front panel buttons are labeled “1” and “2” for the two inputs. Press input button 1 to select the composite video input, or button 2 to select the S-video input.

You can also set up the YCS to select inputs via contact closure or autoswitching. For information on enabling input selection by either of these methods, see Contact closure or Autoswitching, earlier in this chapter.

The YCS SW2 does not have non-volatile memory.

Therefore, the input selection defaults to input 1 after a power loss.
