Each switcher model supports a different number of I/O boards of any of the above type. With only one input and output board, each is configured as a 4-input by 4-output matrix. By adding or removing I/O boards within certain rules that are detailed in I/O Boards, on page 9, you can expand and contract the DMS matrix as follows:

DMS 1600 — Supports up to four I/O boards, up to a 16-input by 16-output matrix. DMS 2000 — Supports up to five I/O boards, up to a 20-input by 20-output matrix. DMS 3200 — Supports up to eight I/O boards, up to a 32-input by 32-output matrix. DMS 3600 — Supports up to nine I/O boards, up to a 36-input by 36-output matrix.

The matrix switcher routes any input signal to any combination of outputs. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.

One or two internal, 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 175-watt power supplies provide worldwide power compatibility and reliability in the following configurations:

• DMS 3600 — Two replaceable, hot-swappable power supplies

• DMS 1600 — One replaceable, hot-swappable power supply with a second

Figure 1. Typical DMS 3600 Application

• DMS 2000 — One built-in power supply

• DMS 3200 — One built-in power supply

DMS 1600, DMS 2000, DMS 3200, and DMS 3600 • Introduction 2

The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex digital video signal routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and buffered, and any input can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.

The matrix switchers can be remotely controlled via their rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 ports, their rear panel LAN port, and their front panel Configuration (USB) port using either the Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or the Simple Instruction Set (SIS). The icondriven Extron software uses a graphical, drag-and-drop interface to make I/O configuration and other customization functions simple and convenient. The SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a control system or PC.

The switcher can be operated remotely by any of the following when connected to either a serial port or the LAN port:

• Control system

• PC

• Extron MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel

• (RS-232/RS-422 only) Extron MCP 1000 remote control panel

• (RS-232/RS-422 only) Extron MKP 1000 remote keypad

The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures, of the following sizes, with mounting flanges for standard 19-inch racks:

• DMS 1600 — 4U high

• DMS 2000 — 3U high

• DMS 3200 — 5U high

• DMS 3600 — 8U high

Features

DVI video inputs and outputs — With DVI I/O boards, the switchers input and output DVI-D digital video signals on DVI-I connectors.

Fiber optic inputs and outputs — With fiber optic I/O boards, the switchers input and output fiber optic signals generated and decoded by Extron DFX transmitters and receivers on LC connnectors.

Automatic input board cable equalization — Typically equalizes greater than 100 feet (30 m) at 1.65 Gb/s of Extron DVID SL or equivalent high quality cable.

Automatic output board re-clocking — Restores the signal timing and shape allowing for increased transmission distances.

EDID Minder — Lets you direct the monitor reference of the computer video source and what resolution to output.

Switching flexibility — The switcher provides individually buffered, independent matrix switched outputs.

• Tie any input to any or all outputs.

• Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs

simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the same time.

Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP) — In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations, it may be vital to know that sources are active and switching. The Extron DSVP feature confirms that input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP provides instantaneous feedback via any of the remote control ports on the switcher.

DMS 1600, DMS 2000, DMS 3200, and DMS 3600 • Introduction 3

E-mail notification — The DMS matrix switchers have a built-in SMTP client feature

Supply

that send out e-mail notifications through an SMTP server. The e-mail notification function monitors a selected input. If the input loses or regains the sync signal, the switcher sends out an e-mail regarding the loss or restoration of the input signal to the e-mail recipients. The matrix switcher can send e-mails to up to 8 e-mail recipients.

Rooming — The switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to specific “rooms” (user-designated groups), allowing them to have their own presets.

Field upgradable, hot-swappable modular design — The architecture of the DMS matrix switcher allows you to repair, upgrade, reconfigure, or expand the matrix by simply installing a new I/O board or replacing a board of one type with one of another.

Hot-swappable components let you replace any I/O board at any time without powering down the switcher.

DMS 1600 and DMS 3600 power redundancy — The DMS 1600 and DMS 3600 have standard and optional power redundancy features. This redundancy, standard for the DMS 3600 and optional for the DMS 1600, ensures zero downtime and no loss of functionality through all but catastrophic power failure to support round-the-clock operation in mission-critical applications.

• Two AC power inputs — Two inputs ensure the switcher operates through any power

interruption short of a simultaneous loss of power from both power sources.

• Two power input circuits — The two complete power circuits, from the plug, through

the power supply, to the power insertion onto the power distribution plane, are separate and independent from each other (see figure 2).

Figure 2. Redundant Power Supply Backs Up Primary Power Supply

• Two hot-swappable power supplies (standard for the DMS 3600 and optional

for the DMS 1600) — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supplies of the matrix switchers provide worldwide power compatibility.

• Primary and redundant circuits — The power supply circuitry is configured to

automatically switch over. Should the primary power supply fail, the hot redundant power supply immediately assumes the load of the failed primary supply, meaning zero downtime and no loss of functionality.

• Ease of maintenance — A failed power supply can be easily replaced from the rear at

any time without powering down the matrix, and with no tools required.

• Power supply status LEDs — Front panel and rear panel LEDs indicate the status of

the primary and redundant power supplies.

DMS 1600, DMS 2000, DMS 3200, and DMS 3600 • Introduction 4

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection and setting of presets

can be performed using a variety of local and remote control mechanisms:

• Front panel controller

• Matrix Switchers Control Program

• Simple Instruction Set (SIS)

• HTML pages

• Remote control panels and keypads (see the list on page 3)

The serial ports allow remote control via a PC or a control system. The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with two levels of password protection.

Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can be upgraded in the field via RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet, without taking the switcher out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron website,

www.extron.com, and can be installed using the Matrix Switchers Control Program or the

built-in HTML pages. Labeling — The included Button Label Generator software lets you create labels to place in

the front panel I/O buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with any Brother

P-Touch® or comparable labeler. Global memory presets — 32 global memory presets are available as a time-saving

feature that lets you set up and store input/output configurations in advance. You can then recall those configurations, when needed, with a few simple steps. The presets are available via front panel operation or serial port or Ethernet control.

Rack mountability — The DMS matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable metal enclosures with mounting flanges for standard 19-inch racks.

Front panel security lockout modes (Executive mode) — If a matrix switcher is installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, a security lockout mode can be implemented. When the front panel is locked, a special button combination or SIS command is required to unlock the front panel controller and make the front panel fully operational.

I/O grouping — Allows the matrix switcher to be virtually divided into smaller subswitchers, making installation and control easier. I/O grouping limits the selection of inputs and outputs to members of the same group. I/O grouping allows specific outputs, such as those designated for a specific purpose, to be grouped together.

I/O boards, the switcher will not recognize some inputs, outputs, or both.

• You must install a 4x4 DVI or fiber optic input and output board in the top slot (slot 1).

• You can install any of the six board types (a 4x4 DVI or fiber optic input and output

board, a 4 DVI or fiber optic input board, or a 4 DVI or fiber optic output board) or a blank panel in the next slot (slot 2).

• You can install any of the board types in the slot directly underneath a 4x4 input and

output board.

• After you install a 4-input board or 4-output board, all active boards underneath it must

be the same size (4-input or 4-output).

• Within these size guidelines (4-input must follow 4-input or 4-output must follow

4-output), you can follow a DVI board with a fiber optic board or follow a fiber optic board with a DVI board.

• If you install a blank panel, all slots under it must contain blank panels (you cannot skip

a slot).

I/O connections

WARNING: Risk of serious physical injury — The DMS ﬁber optic I/O boards output

continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the ﬁber cable is unplugged.

NOTES:

• Fiber optic boards: Ensure that you use multimode ﬁber cable for your I/O board.

Typically, multimode cable has an orange or aqua jacket.

• DVI boards: Although the DVI I/O boards use DVI-I connectors, the switchers

handle only DVI-D (digital) video and the boards are labeled “DVI-D.”

a DVI-D Inputs ports — Connect DVI cables between these ports and the DVI output

ports of the digital video sources (see figure 8).

b DVI-D Outputs ports — Connect DVI displays for the routed direct digital image

(see figure 8).

See Programming Guide, starting on page 46 for definitions of the SIS commands and Matrix Software starting on page 61 for details on the control software.

NOTE: The switcher can support either the RS-232 or RS-422 serial protocol, and

can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates.

See Selecting the Rear Panel Remote Port Protocol and Baud Rate on page 36 to configure the RS-232/RS-422 port from the front panel.

If desired, connect an MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel to the rear panel Remote port on the switcher. See the MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel User Guide or the MKP 3000 User Guide for details.

f LAN port — If desired, for IP control of the system, connect the matrix

switcher to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN via this RJ-45 connector. You can use a PC to control the networked switcher with SIS commands from anywhere in the world. You can also control the switcher from a PC that is running the Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or has downloaded HTML pages from the switcher.

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cable type and that they be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or CAT 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 cables. Transmission errors can occur.

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.

RJ-45 connector wiring

The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (see figure 10).

The numbered translucent covers on the input and output buttons can be removed and replaced to insert labels behind them.

Input and output labels can be created easily with the Extron Button Label Generator software, which ships with every Extron matrix switcher. Each input and output can be labeled with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection (see figure 16) (see Button Label Generator Program, on page 83, for details on using the labeling software, see Removing and Installing Button Labels, on page 106, for blank labels and a procedure for removing and replacing the translucent covers).

Front Panel Operations

Definitions

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and provide sample procedures for the following actions:

• Creating ties, sets of ties, and configurations

• Changing a configuration

• Viewing ties, sets of ties, and configurations

• Creating I/O groups

• Saving a preset

• Recalling a preset

• Muting and unmuting outputs

• Locking and unlocking the front panel

• Performing a front panel reset

• Toggling background illumination on and off

• Reading and setting the Remote RS-232/RS-422 port settings

The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout 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 one or more sets of ties.

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

called configuration 0)

• Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global

memory presets can be stored in memory. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. Presets can be saved and recalled from the front panel and any of the serial or LAN ports. For front panel operations, preset locations are assigned to the input buttons.

• Room — 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 from 1 to 16 outputs.

• Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room that

has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

DMS 1600, DMS 2000, DMS 3200, and DMS 3600 • Operation 21

Power

Apply power by connecting one or both power cords between the one or two AC power connectors (depending on the model) and the AC power sources. The switcher performs a self-test that flashes the front panel buttons several times and then turns them either off or to background illumination. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination.

The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact.

If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and fails to respond to commands or button pushes. If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline (see the last page of this guide for the phone number in your region of the world).

Creating a Configuration

The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. Change the current configuration as follows:

1. Press the Esc button to clear any front panel button indications that may be lit.

2. Select the desired input and one or more outputs by pressing the input and output

buttons. Input buttons and output buttons light or blink green to indicate ties.

• To indicate potential ties, output buttons blink when an input is selected.

• To indicate current ties, output buttons light steadily when an input is selected.

3. To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated lit output buttons.

To indicate potential unties, output buttons blink when an output is deselected but not untied from the input.

4. Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create or delete additional ties until the desired

configuration is complete.

NOTES:

• Only one input can be tied to an output.

• If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output was

previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.

• If an input with no tie is selected, only the button for that input lights.

• As each input and output is selected, the associated output button blinks to

indicate a tentative tie. Buttons for outputs that were already tied to the input light steadily. Outputs that are already tied can be left on, along with new blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the associated output button.

• If you press the input button for an input that is I/O grouped

(see I/O Grouping on page 27), you cannot select the output button for an output in a different group. The associated input button remains lit.
