The DXP HD 4K PLUS Series are digital matrix switchers that route HDMI signals from multiple sources to HDMI-equipped
display devices. They support computer and video resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz. They also support HDMI 2.0b specications,
including data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats. These switchers are
HDCP 2.2 compliant and incorporate Extron technologies including SpeedSwitch, EDID Minder, and Key Minder. Digital audio can
be de-embedded from any input and assigned to digital or analog stereo outputs. The following matrix sizes are available:
• DXP 44 HD 4K PLUS — 4 inputs by 4 outputs
• DXP 84 HD 4K PLUS — 8 inputs by 4 outputs
• DXP 88 HD 4K PLUS — 8 inputs by 8 outputs
This setup guide enables you to quickly set up and congure your DXP matrix switcher. Step-by-step instructions show
you how to connect the hardware and to perform basic operations using both the front panel controls and selected Simple
Instruction Set (SIS) commands. The guide also shows you how to connect to the built-in web page and load and start up the
Product Conguration Software (PCS), which you can also use to congure and operate the switcher. For additional information
and specications, see the DXP HD 4K PLUS product page at www.extron.com.
The terms “DXP,” “matrix,” “switcher,” and “DXP matrix switcher” are used interchangeably in this guide to refer to all DXP HD 4K
PLUS models.

NOTE: Figure 2 shows the DXP 88 HD 4K, with 8 inputs and 8 outputs. The rear panels of the DXP 44, 84, and 88 are
identical except for the number of inputs and outputs.
Input connectors — Connect HDMI sources to these female 19-pin type A HDMI input connectors for video input.
A
LockIt™ cable lacing brackets, one for each HDMI input and output connector, are provided with the
DXP HD 4K PLUS. These brackets can be used to secure the HDMI cables to the DXP connectors to reduce stress
on the HDMI connectors and prevent signal loss due to loose cable connections (see Securing HDMI Cables with the
LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket on page 4).
Output connectors — Connect HDMI output devices to these female 19-pin type A HDMI output connectors for
B
buffered video output (see Securing HDMI Cables with the LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket).
Reset LED — While you are holding the Reset button, this green LED blinks every 3 seconds to indicate the
C
level of reset that will occur if the button is released at that point (see figure 2, D, Reset button).
Reset button — This recessed button initiates four levels (modes) of reset. Use a pointed object such as a small
D
screwdriver to press and hold the Reset button.
• Factory firmware reset (mode 1) — Hold the Reset button while powering up the switcher to restore the DXP to
the factory rmware for a single power cycle. This type of reset maintains all the current user settings, such as audio
adjustments, IP settings, and the configuration.
• IP settings reset (mode 4) — While the DXP is running, press and hold the Reset button until the LED blinks twice
(approximately 6 seconds). Release the button and press it again momentarily to reset the switcher IP functions. This
reset does not replace any user-installed rmware.
• Absolute reset (mode 5) — While the DXP is running, press and hold the Reset button until the LED blinks three
times (approximately 9 seconds). Release the button and press it again momentarily to restore the switcher to the default

The cable you use 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 or higher UTP or STP cables.
• Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e or higher UTP or STP cables.
Terminate the Ethernet cable as required:
• Network connection — Wire as a patch (straight-through) cable.
• Computer or control system connection — Wire as a crossover cable.

NOTE: The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
S/PDIF digital audio outputs (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) — Use 75 ohm digital
H
audio cables to connect audio signal processors (such as the Extron SSP 7.1 Surround Sound
Processor) or other compatible devices to these female RCA connectors (see the illustration
at right). The connected processor then converts digital signals from these ports to analog for
encoded standard definition bitstream audio for Dolby or DTS multi-channel surround sound.
NOTES:
• When the input audio is a high bit rate (HBR) audio stream, mute these outputs.
• S/PDIF output 1 and analog output 1 are always connected to the video input tied to them. S/PDIF and analog
output 2 can be broken away (untied).
AC power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord (provided) into this connector to connect the switcher to a 100 VAC
I
to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source.
Securing HDMI Cables with the LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket
Use a LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket to securely fasten each HDMI cable to the switcher:
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (see the illustration at right,
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the LockIt
lacing bracket to be placed over it (2). The screw does not have to be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket (
tighten the screw to secure the bracket.
ATTENTION:
• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield it fastens to
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 n et peut facilement être dénudé.

Remote Control
You can send SIS commands over an Ethernet link (rear panel RJ-45 LAN port), USB (front panel Cong port), or a serial
connection (rear panel Remote RS-232 port). The network connection procedure is described below. For information about the
serial and USB connections, as well as a complete list of the available SIS commands, see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series User
Guide, available at www.extron.com.
Establishing a Network (Ethernet) Connection
To establish a network connection:
1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the switcher IP address.
NOTE: The factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254.
The switcher responds with a message consisting of the copyright date, the name of the product, rmware version, part
number, and the current date and time. For example, with an internet connection:
(c) Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics, DXP nn HD 4K Plus, Vn.nn, 60-1495-nn
Ddd, DD Mmm YYYY HH:MM:SS
]
NOTES:
• If the switcher is not password-protected, the device is now ready to accept SIS commands.
• If the switcher is password-protected, a password prompt appears.
]
2. If the switcher is password-protected, enter the password.
3. If the password is accepted, the switcher responds with Login User or Login Administrator.
4. If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears (see your network admin for the assigned password).
Connection timeouts
The Ethernet link times out and disconnects after a designated period of no communications. By default, this timeout value is set
to 5 minutes but the value can be changed.
NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically issuing the Query (Q) command to keep
the connection active or disconnecting the socket and reopening the connection when necessary.
Number of connections
A switcher can have up to 200 simultaneous TCP connections, including all HTTP sockets and Telnet connections. When
the connection limit is reached, the switcher accepts no new connections until some have been closed. No error message or
indication is given that the connection limit has been reached. To maximize performance of your switcher, keep the number of
connections low and close unnecessary open sockets.
SIS Commands
The switchers have SIS commands that you can use for operation and conguration. You can issue these commands from
a PC connected to the DXP serial port, USB port, or Ethernet port (see Rear Panel Connections on page 2 for connection
information).
Host-to-switcher instructions
The switcher accepts SIS commands through the LAN port, the Remote (RS-232) port, or the front panel USB Cong port. SIS
commands consist of one or more characters per command eld. They do not require any special characters to begin or end
the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed
(CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
NOTE: Input and output numbers in commands can be entered as one-digit, two-digit, or three-digit numbers. All input and
output numbers are reported as two-digit numbers in the response.
Verbose mode
Telnet connections to a switcher can be used to monitor for changes that occur on the switcher, such as front panel operations
and SIS commands from other Telnet sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive change notices from the switcher,
the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3 (see the Set verbose mode command on page 14).

Installing and Starting the Configuration Software
The Extron Product Conguration Software (PCS) is a Windows-based
program for the DXP HD 4K PLUS that enables you to congure the input

is connected to PCS, the power save mode is reset to 0 (power
save off).
