About this Guide

This guide describes the DTPTSW4HD4K switcher and discusses how to install,
configure, and operate it.

In this guide, the terms “switcher”, “transmitter” and “switching transmitter” refer to the
DTPTSW4HD4K switcher.

About the DTPTSW4HD4K Switcher

The DTPTSW4HD4K is a four input HDMI switcher with a DTP output capable of
switching and extending HDMI signals up to 330feet (100meters). It is an HDCP compliant
switcher, that supports video resolutions up to 4K@30Hz at 4:4:4, or 4K@60Hz at 4:2:0
sub-sampling, including 1080p@60Hz Deep Color, as well as data rates up to 10.2Gbps,
3D, Lip Sync, and HD lossless audio formats. The switcher features four HDMI inputs, with
a DTP/HDBase-T™ (DTP/HDBT) output, so it can be integrated into many applications that
use a DTP equipped receiver or HDBase-T capable products. For easy integration, remote
power is available via the DTP output.

The DTPTSW4HD4K switcher can be controlled via the front panel, the RS-232
interface, USB, or contact closure. Inputs can be selected by pressing the front
panel buttons, enabling auto-input switching, attaching a jumper or a contact
closure device to the contact port, entering Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands
or Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS) via USB. The switcher also features contact
and tally ports, used in tandem with Extron ShowMe cables. Additionally, two auxiliary
contact and tally ports are available for control and monitoring of peripheral devices, such
as table mounted push buttons.

Wiring Connections

Power Connector

A 12VDC, 1.5A power supply is provided with the DTPTSW4HD4K transmitter. Follow
these instructions to wire the 2-pole captive screw connector to your power supply:

CAUTION: The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in.

Remove power before wiring.

ATTENTION : Les deux cordons d’alimentation doivent être maintenus séparés lorsque

la source d’alimentation est branchée. Coupez l’alimentation avant d’effectuer un
raccordement.

NOTE: In auto-input switch mode, the switcher automatically switches to the

highest numbered active input.

ATTENTION:

• Do not connect power to the switcher until you have read the ATTENTION

notifications on the next page.

• Ne branchez pas l’alimentation au avant d’avoir lu les mises en garde

«ATTENTION » aux page8.

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

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

DTPTSW4HD4K • Installation 7

ATTENTION:

• Always use a power supply supplied and or specified by Extron. Use of an

unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may
cause damage to the supply and the end product.

• 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.

• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a

power source marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated at 12VDC and a minimum of

1.3A.

• Si le produit n’est pas fourni avec une source d’alimentation, il doit être alimenté

par une source d’alimentation certifié UL de classe 2 ou LPS, avec une tension
nominale 12 Vcc, 1.3 A minimum.

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

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical
Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to
building structure or similar structure.

• Cette installation doit toujours être conforme aux dispositions applicables du Code

américain de l’électricité (National Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725, et
du Code canadien de l’électricité, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne
devra pas être fixée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une
structure similaire.

• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the

power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord (see figure 3 on the
previous page) identify the power cord negative lead.

• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte

pourrait endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté du
cordon (voir l’illustration 3 sur la page précédente) permettent de repérer le pôle
négatif du cordon d’alimentation.

• To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and

check the output with a voltmeter.

• Pour vérifier la polarité avant la connexion, brancher l’alimentation hors charge et

mesurer sa sortie avec un voltmètre.

• The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is

3/16inch (5mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as

secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

• 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 trop longs,
les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont
trop courts, ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés
par les borniers à vis.

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling

spaces or in wall cavities.

• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs CA/CC ne conviennent pas à une utilisation

dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales.

• Remote power is intended for indoors use only. No part of a network that uses

remote power can be routed outdoors.

• L’alimentation à distance est exclusivement réservée à un usage en intérieur. Un

réseau utilisant une alimentation à distance ne peut pas être routé en extérieur.
