output, one RGB video on 15-pin HD, one fixed audio output on captive screw, one
variable stereo audio output on captive screw, speaker outputs on 5 mm, 4-pole
captive screw connector (MPS 602 SA) or on 5 mm, 2-pole captive screw connector
(MPS602MA).

• Selectable HDMI or DTP 330 output — Routes the inputs signal to either the HDMI

output or the DTP 330 output.

• Independent RGB input switching — Allows independent switching of RGB inputs to

the local RGB output.

• Integrated DTP 330 input and output support transmission of HDMI or DVI,

control, and analog audio up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single CATx cable
— Supports digital signal transmission of HDMI or DVI plus control and analog audio
up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single CATx cable, providing high reliability and
maximum performance on an easily installed cable infrastructure.

• Compatible with CAT 5e, CAT 6, and CAT 7 twisted pair cable — Fully supports a

maximum transmission distance of 330 feet (100 meters) for all compatible resolutions
when used with CAT 5e, CAT 6, CAT 6a, or CAT 7 twisted pair cable. Shielded twisted
pair cabling with solid center conductor sizes of 24 AWG or better is recommended for
optimal performance.

• Bidirectional RS-232 and IR insertion for AV device control — Transmits

bidirectional RS-232 control and IR signals can be transmitted alongside the video
signal over DTP connections, allowing the remote device to be controlled without the
need for additional cabling. Bidirectional control insertion eliminates the need for control
system wiring to remote devices.

• Remote powering of DTP transmitter and receiver — Provides power to a

DTP330 transmitter and a remote DTP 330 receiver over the CAT cable connection.

• Backward compatible with all DTP HDMI 230 and DTP DVI 230 models —

Enables mixing and matching of desktop and wallplate transmitters and receivers to
meet application requirements.

• Digital conversion of analog input signals — Digitizes analog signals, ensuring that

a reliable, high quality digital video signal is sent to the output destination.

• HDCP compliant — Fully supports HDCP-encrypted sources, with selectable

authorization for unencrypted content.

• Supported HDMI specification — Features include data rates up to 6.75 Gbps, deep

color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats

• Key Minder — Authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between

input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV
environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one
or more displays.

• EDID Minder — Ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content

for display.

• Supports EDID and HDCP transmission — Actively buffers DDC channels allowing

continuous communication between source and display.

• HDMI audio embedding — Embeds analog input audio signals onto the HDMI output

signal.

• HDMI audio de-embedding — Extracts HDMI two-channel PCM audio to the analog

outputs.

• Mic Line input with 48 volt phantom power — Mixes mic or line level audio source

with program audio. Selectable 48 volt phantom power allows the use of condenser
microphones.

MPS602 • Introduction 2

• Mic Talk Over — Automatically reduces program audio when a microphone signal is

detected, replacing the need for a separate standalone audio ducking processor.

• Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an analog audio signal away

from its corresponding video signal and route to the audio outputs, allowing the analog
audio channels to be operated as a separate switcher.

• Output volume control — Provides volume control and muting for the program and

amplified audio outputs, as well as a separate control for mic volume and muting.

• Available with energy efficient Class D stereo or mono amplifier:

• 2 x 50 watts @ 4 ohms; 2 x 25 watts @ 8 ohms

• 1 x 100 watts @ 70 volts — The MPS 602 SA offers a stereo power amplifier with

50 watts per channel into 4 ohms and 25 watts per channel into 8 ohms, while the
MPS 602 MA offers a mono 70 volt power amplifier with 100 watts rms output.
Both feature an Extron exclusive, highly efficient, advanced Class D amplifier design
with CDRS - Class D Ripple Suppression, an Extron patented technology that
provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an improvement in signal fidelity
over conventional Class D amplifier designs. CDRS eliminates the high frequency
switching ripple characteristic of Class D amplifiers, a source of RF emissions which
can interfere with sensitive AV equipment such as wireless microphones.

• Auto-switching between inputs (Auto Switch) — Allows for simple, unmanaged

installation in locations such as in a lectern or under a conference table. When multiple
inputs are active, the switching priority is configurable.

• Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) — Locks out either all front panel

functions, or mic volume and muting; all functions are available through USB or RS-232
control.

• RS-232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for complete control

and configuration via the Extron Windows®-based control program, or integrated into
a control system. Extron products use the Simple Instruction Set (SIS) command
protocol, a set of basic ASCII commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

• Front panel USB configuration port — Enables easy configuration without having to

access the rear panel.

• RJ-45 signal and link LED indicators for DTP port — Provides a means for

validating signal flow and operation from transmitter or receiver, allowing quick
identification of connectivity issues.

• Rack-mountable 1U, full rack width metal enclosure

• Includes LockIt HDMI cable lacing brackets

Twisted Pair Recommendations

Supported Cables

The MPS602 is compatible with CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP,
and S/FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable.

ATTENTION:

• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201

cable to link the XTP products or with DTP transmitters or receivers.

• N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-FreeUTP version améliorée UTP23SF d’Extron ou

le câble STP201 pour relier les produits XTP avec les émetteurs ou les récepteurs
DTP.

• Do not connect these devices to a computer data or telecommunications network.

• Ne connectez pas ces (appareils) à des données informatiques ou à un réseau de

télécommunications.

• No part of the network that uses remote power can be routed outdoors.

• Aucune partie du réseau qui utilise l’alimentation à distance ne peut être routée en

extérieur.

Cable Recommendations

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances and
reduce transmission errors.

• Use XTP DTP 24 cable and connectors for maximum performance.

• If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, use 24 AWG, solid conductor, STP cable

with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.

• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.

• Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points,

punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points
are required, use CAT 6 or 6a shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

NOTE: When using CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable in bundles or conduits:

• Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.

• Do not comb the cable for the first 20 meters, where cables are straightened,

aligned, and secured in tight bundles.

• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook and loop fasteners.

• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.

of two outputs (HDMI or DTP). Follow the steps below and the installation example (see

MPS 602 Application Diagram on page4).

1. Turn off power to the MPS switcher and all devices that are connected to it.

2. If the MPS switcher is rack, table, wall, or through-deskmounted, position the brackets

and install themounting screws (see Mounting the Switcher on page55).

3. Attach up to two analog, three HDMI (or DVI-D with appropriate adapters) sources,

and one DTP transmitter device to the switcher (see Rear Panel Connections on
page5).

4. Connect the switcher HDMI output to a compatible display device, or the DTP output to

a compatible DTP receiver (see Rear Panel Connections).

5. For stereo audio input, connect up to six audio sources to the corresponding audio

inputs of the analog (inputs 1 and 2), HDMI (inputs 3, 4, and 5), or DTP (input 6) video
groups (see Rear Panel Connections).

6. For vocal input, connect a mic to the MicLine input (see Rear Panel Connections).

Set the phantom power switch if necessary.

7. For output, connect an appropriate audio output device depending on the switcher

model:

• All models – Connect an audio amplifier to the program or fixed Audio Output

HDMI/DTP Embedded Audio Output

By default, the embedded audio present on a selected HDMI or DTP input is routed to the
selected HDMI or DTP audio output. If an RGB input is selected, there is no audio output.
Optionally, program audio can be routed to the embedded output instead (see Audio

Routing on page51).

NOTE: If the sink device connected to the HDMI output is DVI, then the signal is

converted to DVI format automatically. The result is that there is no embedded audio
output.

Program Audio

The selected audio input is simultaneously switched to the program variable audio output,

input Indicator selected for program audio output blinks.

Embedded Audio and Analog Audio Output

If the selected HDMI or DTP input has embedded audio, the switcher extracts the digital
audio and converts it to analog for program audio output, fixed audio out, and the amplfiied
audio output (MA and SA only). If embedded digital audio is not available, the switcher
selects the current input analog audio (see figure2, K, on page 5).

NOTE: When the selected input has both embedded digital audio and analog audio

available, by default the switcher extracts the embedded digital audio for the audio
outputs. Using SIS commands, the default can be changed to select the analog audio
input instead (see Audio Routing on page51). This is individually configured for
each HDMI input .

MPS602 • Operation 16

Program Audio Breakaway

Program audio breakaway allows routing of the audio signal from any input to the program
audio output independently from the input video selection. It is available by software
control only (see Program audio breakaway on page51 for SIS commands and see

Breakaway Analog Audio check box (Analog Inputs1and2) on page35 for PCS

control). For the HDMI or DTP inputs, the analog audio input must be selected, also by
software control.

NOTE: Digital (embedded) audio cannot be broken away from the digital source.

By default, the HDMI or DVI inputs cannot be broken away to or from, unless first
configured to use the analog input.

Fixed Output and Variable Output Level

The mix of balanced and unbalanced wiring of inputs and outputs result in different audio

Each audio input level (analog inputs 1 through 5 only) is
adjusted from the front panel over a range of -18 dB to
+24 dB. The adjustments normalize the input audio levels
so that output volume is consistent for all inputs.

The front panel input indicator LEDs provide a status of
the current input gain or attenuation level. When adjusting
the audio level, the inputs 1 and 2 (RGB inputs 1 and 2)
and inputs 1 through 6 function as indicators of the current
audio level for the selected input as shown in the table.

Gain or attenuation is indicated by the red Exec Mode
Indicator. Off indicates gain (+ dB) or zero. On indicates
audio is attenuated (- dB).

To adjust the input audio level from the front panel:

1. Press and hold the Program Audio MUTE and

MicMUTE buttons for 3 seconds (see figure12 on
page13). The two mute Indicators flash three times
as the adjustment mode is enabled.

2. Press the input button for the desired audio level

adjustment. If no input button is pressed, the switcher
times out and exits the audio input adjustmentmode.

3. When the input is selected, the front panel LEDs

indicate the current gain or attenuation setting for
that input. Factory default is 0dB (all nine Indicators
off). Rotate the program volume knob clockwise to
increase and counterclockwise to decrease the audio
level. The Indicators display the level as the knob is
rotated.

4. When the desired level is achieved, select another

input for adjustment within 3 seconds.
If audio adjustments are complete:

a. Do not press any front panel buttons for at least 3

seconds to exit the adjustmentmode, or

b. Press the Program Audio MUTE and

MicMUTE buttons simultaneously to exit the
adjustmentmode.

At any time during the adjustments, if front panel buttons
are not pressed or the program audio knob is not rotated
within 3 seconds, the switcher times out and exits the
audio adjustmentmode.

Audio gain and attenuation are also adjusted using PCS
software control (see Audio Config Page on page40)

Mic input, it immediately reduces or "ducks" the program audio volume. Whenmicrophone
audio is not detected for a period of onesecond, it increases the program audio level at a
rate of 3 dB per second until the program audio returns to the original volume level.

Ducking is adjustable from 0 to 30dB (default: 6dB). Mic level threshold, the level at which
ducking is initiated, is adjusted from 0 to 30dB (default: 8dB). Both are adjusted with SIS
commands (see Connection Options on page44) using RS-232 or USB control (see

Program audio ducking level in talk-overmode on page51 and Mic talk-over
threshold on page52), or using the PCS software application (see Talk-over Control
Using PCS on page41).

To adjust microphone threshold and program audio ducking levels via RS-232 or USB:

1. Adjust program audio for nominal listening levels (see Program Audio Volume on

page17).

2. Turn on themicrophone by pressing the Mic Mute button (mute Indicator goes out).

3. Speak into themicrophone in a normal voice. Themain program level drops

immediately.

a. If themicrophone consistently cuts off the beginning of speech, or cuts out sections

of audio, adjust the threshold level (see Mic talk-over threshold on page52).

b. If the program level is too high during talk-over, but is the proper level for times

where talk-over is not active, adjust the ducking level (see Program audio

ducking level in talk-overmode on page51).

4. Stop speaking into themicrophone. Themain program audio gradually (within 2to4

seconds) increases to the previous level. If not, increase the threshold level (see Mic

talk-over threshold on page52).

EDID Minder

Automatic Mode

The digital and analog groups feature EDID Minder, ensuring that each input source reads
the EDID of the output display even when the input is not selected. The result is the video
source powers up properly and reliably outputs content when selected. The EDID remains in
the selectedmode (automatic or user assigned) even after loss of power.

Depending on the EDID mode selected, the EDID of the connected display is stored
automatically in slot 57 (RGB) and slot 58 (HDMI/DTP). Alternately, the user manually selects
an EDID file from an internal list. Whether stored automatically or manually, the EDID file is
written to an EEPROM for each input.

If an output display has never been connected, a default EDID file is placed on the RGB,
HDMI, and DTP inputs according to the following table:

Input Group Default EDID

RGB 1280x720 @ 60 Hz

HDMI and DTP 720p @ 60 Hz, 2-ch audio

When a display is connected to an output, the EDID of that display device is read and
replaces the default EDID on each input. The EDID remains even if the display is removed.
If a different display is connected or a user assigned EDID is selected, the previous EDID is
overwritten.

User Assigned EDID Mode

Using SIS commands (see EDID Minder on page54), an EDID file can be selected from
a table of EDID files. Six EDID file locations are reserved for user-loaded EDID files for the
RGB and HDMIDVIDTP inputs. Once a user assigned EDID is selected, it is stored at that
input and EDID polling ceases for a connected display. The following table lists the native
resolution of each factory EDID file.

Talk-over Control Using PCS

The MPS602 also features talk-over to automatically reduce program audio volume
whenmicrophone audio is present. When the switcher detects an audio signal from the
Mic input, it immediately reduces or “ducks” the program audio volume. Whenmicrophone
audio is not detected for a period of onesecond, it increases the program audio level at a
rate of 3 dB per second until the program audio returns to the original volume level.

Ducking is adjustable from 0 to 30dB (default: 6dB) and Mic level threshold, the level at
which ducking is initiated, is adjusted from 0 to 30dB (default: 8dB).

To adjust microphone threshold and program audio ducking levels using the PCS software
application:

1. Connect the PC to the MPS 602.

2. Start the PCS program and connect to the MPS 602.

3. Click the Audio Config tab (see figure 43, 1).

The Audio Config page opens.

5. Press the Mic Mute button (4) to turn on the mic input.

6. Speak into themicrophone in a normal voice. Themain program level drops

immediately.

a. If themicrophone consistently cuts off the beginning of speech, or cuts out sections

of audio, in the Global Settings panel (2), adjust the Threshold: level (5)
until the cut off is eliminated.

b. If the program level is too high during talk-over, but is the proper level for times

where talk-over is not active, adjust the Duck Level: (6).

7. Stop speaking into themicrophone. Themain program audio gradually (within 2to4

seconds) increases to the previous level. If not, increase the Threshold: level (5).

The remaining controls in the Global Settings panel mirror the front panel controls.

Remote Communication and Control

This section discusses SIS programming and control of the MPS602 including:

• Connection Options

• Host-to-MPS Communications

• Using the Command and Response Table

• Command and Response Table for SIS Commands

Connection Options

The MPS602 can be remotely connected via a host computer or other device (such as a
control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 port or the front panel USB Config port.

The switcher can be set up and controlled using SIS commands. SIS commandsare
executed using the Extron DataViewer program, found at on the Extron Website.

RS-232 protocol:

• 9600 baud • No parity • 1 stop bit

• 8 data bits • No flow control

For additional details on connecting the RS-232 port, see the “Remote Control Port” section
below.

USB port details:

The Extron USB driver must be installed before use (see Front Panel Configuration Port
on page45).

Remote Control Port (RS-232)

The RS-232 port connector (see Control Ports, R on page 9) connects to a host
device such as a computer running a HyperTerminal utility or the Extron DataViewer utility,
which can generate the proper command codes and recognize switcher responses. The
port makes serial control possible. Use the protocol information listed above to make the
connection.

MPS602 • Remote Communication and Control 44

Front Panel Configuration Port

The mini type B USB port is located on the front panel (see figure12 on page13). It
connects to a host computer for configuration using SIScommands with DataViewer.

To connect the MPS602 to a host computer:

NOTE: If an Extron USB device has never been connected to the host computer,

prior to connecting the MPS602 Config (USB) port for the first time, you must install
and activate the USB driver. The simplest way to do this is to install DataViewer (see

DataViewer on page57) or obtain the driver from the MPS602 product page at
www.extron.com.

1. After the USB driver is loaded, connect a USB A to mini B cable between the Config

port on the MPS602 front panel and a USB port of the PC.

2. If this is the first time an Extron product is connected to the PC, the Found New

Hardware Wizard dialog box opens (see figure 47). The first screen offers to connect

to Windows Update to search for the appropriate driver. This is not necessary if the
USB driver is already on your PC (see the NOTE above).

6. When the Completed dialog box opens, click Finish to close the wizard.

NOTE: The wizard opens only on the first occasion you connect the MPS602 to

a USB port. The wizard reopens only if you connect the MPS602 to a different
USB port or if you connect a different piece of equipment, requiring a different
driver, to the same USB port.

7. Configure the MPS602 as required.

Host-to-MPS Communications

The switcher accepts SIS commands through the rear panel RS-232 port and the front
panel USB configuration port. SIS commands consist of one ormore characters per
command field. They do not require special characters to begin and end the command
character sequence. Each 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.

MPS Switcher-initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the switcher
responds by sending amessage to the host. No response is required from the host.

Copyright Information

(c) Copyright 20 nn, Extron Electronics, MPS 602 SA, Vx.xx 60-1314-51

stat42*0•0•0

The copyrightmessage is initiated by the switcher when it is first powered on and
connected using the RS-232 serial connector. Vx.xx is the firmware version number. The
model number and part number change depending on the version of the switcher. The
second line lists the current dip switch settings (see Status command of DIP switches on
page52).

]

]

Error Responses

If the switcher is unable to perform the command, it returns an error response to the host.
The error response codes and descriptions are:

E01 ] — Invalid input channel number (too large)

E10 ] — Invalid command

E13 ] — Invalid value (out of range)

MPS602 • Reference Information 55

UL Rack Mounting Guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the
MPS602 in a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed ormulti-unit rack

assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environmentmay be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the device in an environment
compatible with themaximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified
by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow

required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is

not achieved due to unevenmechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the

effect that circuit overloadingmight have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment.

Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

RackMounting

Rackmount the switcher as follows:

1. Attach the supplied rackmounting brackets to the switcher with the eight provided

#8machine screws, (see figure 50 on page55).

2. Insert the switcher into the rack, aligning the holes in themounting bracket with those of

the rack.

3. Secure the switcher to the rack using the suppliedmachine screws.

Furniture or WallMounting

The optional low profile mounting kit includes brackets extend approximately 1/4 inch
(6.4mm) above the top surface of the switcher enclosure allowing for an air space between
the enclosure and the surface. The switcher can then be mounted on any flat surface.

Follow the included instructions.
