specifications before connecting the

product to the power source.

This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced technician to install, set up, and operate the Extron Media Presentation
Switcher, MPS601. Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. For additional information and
specications, see the MPS601 product page at www.extron.com.

Step 1 — Mount the MPS601

The MPS601 is housed in a half rack width, 6 inch deep, 1U high metal enclosure that can sit on a table with the provided rubber
feet or can be rack mounted. Select a suitable mounting location, then choose an appropriate mounting option.

). The connectors accept VGA

b

NOTE: The MPS601 digitizes the RGBHV inputs. It does not scale or convert video to a different resolution. The

output signal resolution is the same as the input resolution.

2. Analog audio inputs — By default, audio input A is tied to RGBHV input 1 and audio input B is tied to RGBHV input 2 (see

gure 1, c). Analog audio is digitized for HDMI output.

3. HDMI video inputs — Connect digital HDMI sources to these inputs using standard HDMI cables (see gure 1,

Connect Control Devices

NOTE: Do not tin the leads. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.

1. Contact In/Tally Out —When a connected contact is grounded, the corresponding input is selected (see gure 1,

). At the

f

same time, the tally output closes causing the Show Me cable LED indicator to light.

NOTE:

• For “Show Me” cables, the ground pin is optional.

• Do not connect “Show Me” cables to the +V pin of the +V Port (see below).

The six contacts are mutually exclusive so that only one input can be selected at at time.

the wires!

Figure 2. Contact In and Tally Out Connector Wiring

• Contact (C) – Momentary closure of this pin to ground selects the corresponding number input. Selection is triggered at

the closure (grounding) of the pin, not the opening.

• Ground (G) – Ground pin.

• Tally output (C) – Controls the LEDs on the contact closure push button. When an input is selected, the tally LED for that

input is active.

3. +V Port — All three pins constantly output +5 VDC, 200 mA total (shared between pins). The +V pins can provide power to

illuminate external tally LEDs (see gure 1, g).

4. Remote RS-232 — Serial port for connection of a host computer or controller using Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) or

Windows-based control software commands (see gure 1, h). The default protocol is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and
no parity.

An IP Link® driver allows Extron IPL and MediaLink® devices to control the MPS601 from the RS-232 remote connector.

• Always use a power supply provided by or specied by Extron. Use

of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance
certication and may cause damage to the supply and the end
product.

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for

use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is
to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing
equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the
equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.

• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable

provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and
the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply
shall not be permanently xed to building structure or similar structure.

Configuring the MPS601

The MPS601 can be congured using a connected PC and the Extron Product Conguration Software or using SIS commands.
To congure the MPS601 using the Product Conguration Software, install the software (available on the Extron website,

www.extron.com) on a PC connected to the MPS601 by the rear panel remote (RS-232) port (see gure 1, h), or front panel

USB Cong port (see gure 6, b). After the installation, start the program. See the MPS601 User Guide and the Product
Configuration Software Help File for additional information.

To congure the MPS601 using SIS commands, see the MPS601 User Guide.

Setup and Operation

a Power on all connected devices, then apply power to the MPS601. The Auto Switch LED lights when auto-input switching is

active.

b One mini type-B female USB Cong port connects to a host computer for conguring the switcher and upgrading rmware.

c Input switching. The input group has six buttons with associated green LEDs. Press an input button to switch the input to the

HDMI output. The associated LED lights. Only one of the six inputs can be selected at a time.

d Input signal LEDs. Six green LEDs indicate:

• The LEDs for RGBHV inputs 1 and 2 light when horizontal sync is detected on the input.

• The LEDs for HDMI inputs 3 to 6 light when TMDS clock activity is detected on the input.

NOTE: If a connected HDMI source is HDCP encrypted, the associated input signal LED does not light until HDCP is

authenticated.

e Output signal LED. This LED lights when the HDMI output is connected to a display or sink device.

f HDCP input signal LEDs (inputs 3, 4, 5, and 6). These LEDs light for the associated HDMI input when the connected source is

HDCP encrypted.

g HDCP output LED. This LED lights when the currently selected input source requires HDCP and the connected output device

(sink) is authenticated.

The MPS601 can be connected to as many as six input devices. Any of the six inputs (2 RGBHV, 4HDMI) can be routed to the
HDMI output.

NOTE: The MPS 601 does not scale or convert video. However, it does convert an analog RGB/VGA input (see figure 1, b)

to digital for digital output. The output signal resolution is the same as the input resolution.

Executive mode

Executive mode, when enabled, provides security from an accidental or unauthorized
front panel button press by locking out the input switching buttons.

The RS-232 and USB ports are always accessible regardless of the executive mode
state.

To enable or disable executive mode:

• Press and hold input 1 and input 2 for 3 seconds to toggle executive mode on or

off.

• The front panel LEDs ash twice to indicate that executive mode is enabled or

disabled.

All LEDs ash twice if a button is pressed while executive mode is enabled.
