About this Guide

This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up and
congure 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 load and start up the Product Conguration Software (PCS) and
how to connect to the built-in HTML pages, which you can use to
operate the switcher.

The terms "DXP," "switcher," and "DXP switcher" are used
interchangeably in this guide to refer to all DXP HD 4K models.

About the DXP HD 4K Series Matrix Switchers

The Extron DXP HD 4K series are digital matrix switchers that
route HDMI signals from multiple sources to any or all of up to 16
HDMI-equipped display devices. All DXP matrix switchers support
resolutions of up to 4K, including 1080p @ 60 Hz Deep Color, and
are HDCP 1.4 compliant, enabling simultaneous distribution of a
single source signal to one or more compliant displays.

The following matrix sizes are available:

DXP 88 Series:

• DXP 44 HD 4K — 4 inputs by 4 outputs

• DXP 84 HD 4K — 8 inputs by 4 outputs

• DXP 88 HD 4K — 8 inputs by 8 outputs

DXP 1616 Series:

• DXP 168 HD 4K — 16 inputs by 8 outputs

• DXP 1616 HD 4K — 16 inputs by 16 outputs

DXP HD 4K Series • Introduction 1

The DXP HD 4K series switchers all provide easy integration
in applications that require reliable HDMI signal routing. They
include several convenience features common to Extron matrix
switchers such as SpeedSwitch, EDID Minder, Key Minder, global
presets, and Ethernet control. In addition, digital audio can be
de-embedded from any input and assigned to digital or analog
stereo outputs.

1. Plug the HDMI cable into

the panel connection (see the
illustration at right, 1).

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 (3) on the screw and
against the HDMI connector,
then 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.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector

and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown (4).

5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing

bracket, use pliers or similar tool to tighten the tie wrap, then
remove any excess length.

Remote Control

This section describes selected SIS commands that pertain to
system setup. It also contains instructions for obtaining, installing,
and starting the Product Conguration Software (PCS) program
and for accessing the DXP HD 4K embedded Web page. The
following topics are discussed:

• Establishing a Network (Ethernet) Connection

• SIS Commands

• Installing and Starting the PCS Configuration Software

• Accessing the Web Page

Establishing a Network (Ethernet) Connection

You can send SIS commands over an Ethernet link (rear panel
RJ-45 LAN port), USB (front panel Cong port), or a serial
connection (rear panel Remote RS-232 port). The network
connection procedure is described below. For information about
the serial connection, see the DXP HD 4K Series User Guide.

Establish a network connection as follows:

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.

Example (with an Internet connection):

(c) Copyright 2015, Extron Electronics, DXP HD 4K
series, V0.01, 60-nnnn-01

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 administrator for the assigned
password.

DXP HD 4K Series • Remote Control 29

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.

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 44).

SIS Commands

The switchers have SIS commands that you can use for operation
and conguration. You can issue these commands from a PC
connected to the DXP serial port, USB port, or Ethernet port
(see Rear Panels and Connections on page 6 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 Cong 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.

of a display device.

You can apply an EDID to a selected input by selecting one of
the following categories of EDID les, shown in the EDID tables
beginning on the next page.

• One of 17 factory-loaded EDID les (numbers 1 through 17)

• The EDID of the display connected to an output:

• DXP 44 and 84 — 18 through 21

• DXP 168 and 88 — 18 through 25

• DXP 1616 — 18 through 33

• One of the user-dened les, to which you have assigned your

own EDID values:

• DXP 44, 84, 88 — 26 through 33

• DXP 1616 and 168 — 34 through 49

NOTES:

• Multi-channel audio consists of:

• PCM 2-channel audio (stereo) • DTS 8-channel audio

• AC-3 6-channel audio • E-AC-3 8-channel audio

• PCM 8-channel audio • DTS-HD 8-channel audio

Installing and Starting the PCS Configuration Software

The Extron Product Conguration Software (PCS) is a Windows­based program for the DXP HD 4K that enables you to congure
the input and output, audio, and image settings. It also lets you
save and recall presets, select EDIDs, and perform nearly all the
other functions that can be accomplished via the front panel
controls or SIS commands.

Downloading the Software

To use the PCS software, download the program from

www.extron.com and install it on the PC that will be connected

to the DXP, as described in the following sections. You can also
download updates to the DXP HD 4K software as they become
available. To access the software:

1. Open the Extron Web page and select the Download tab (see

gure 25, 1).

2. On the Download screen, click the PCS link on the left sidebar

menu (2).

Figure 25. PCS Software Link on the Download Page of the

Extron Website

NOTE: For details on operating the program, see the

DXP HD 4K PCS software help file.

45DXP HD 4K Series • Remote Control

3. On the PCS page, click the Download button in the table in the

center of the page (see gure 26, 1).

computer hard drive to run later, click Save. On the Save
As window that opens, save the setup file to the desired
location. When you are ready to install the software,
double-click on the pcss_vnxnxn.exe icon, click Run
on the File Download – Security Warning dialog
box that opens, and restart this procedure at step 7.

If, instead, you see a Download icon at the bottom of the page,
wait until the icon displays the name pcss_vnxnxn.exe, then
click it.

6. On the next window that opens, click Run to start the

installation process.

7. Follow the instructions on the InstallShield Wizard

screens to complete the software program installation. By
default the installation creates a folder called “Extron PCS” in
one of the following locations on the computer (depending on
the Windows version):

c:\Program Files (x86)\Extron\Extron PCS or
c:\Program Files\Extron\Extron PCS

If there is not already an Extron folder in your Program Files or
Program Files x86 folder, the installation program creates it as
well.

Starting the Configuration Program

1. Ensure that your DXP HD 4K is connected to your computer via

USB (front panel Cong port) or TCP/IP (rear panel LAN port).

2. To run the PCS conguration program, do either of the

following:

• Double-click on the EAF.exe le, located on your computer

at c:\Program Files [or Program Files(x86)]\
Extron\Extron PCS.
