About this Guide
This guide describes the Extron SW HDMI Series switchers and discusses how to install,
configure, and operate them.
In this guide, the term “SW HDMI Series” refers to both the SW2 HDMI and the SW4 HDMI switchers. “Switcher” and “SW HDMI” are used interchangeably to refer to
any single unit.
About the SW HDMI Series Switchers
The Extron SW HDMI Series are two and four input, one output, High-definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) switchers. They allow multiple HDMI signals, including digital
video, 3D signals, and embedded multi-channel digital audio, to be switched to one
compatible display. These switchers support all standard single-link HDMI (up to 225 MHz) and DVI 1.0 signal formats. They are compatible at 60 Hz with all HDTV resolutions up
to 1080p and PC resolutions up to 1920x1200, with 12-bit color, and are fully compliant
with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). The SW HDMI switchers can be controlled via the front panel, the RS-232 interface, or
the optional IR 102 Remote Control. You can select inputs by pressing the front panel buttons, enabling auto-input switching, entering Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands via RS-232, or pressing buttons on the IR 102.
Features
HDCP authentication — The SW HDMI switchers check the sources and the display
individually for HDCP compliance. HDCP LEDs for each input and the output indicate successful HDCP authentication.
Auto-input switching — The SW HDMI Series can be configured to automatically
switch to the highest-numbered active input when the switcher detects a signal.
Signal detection LEDs — Each input and the output are represented by front panel
LEDs, which light if a signal is present for the input or output and there is activity on
the Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) lines.
Rack and furniture mounting — The SW HDMI Series can be mounted on a rack
shelf or under a desk or podium with an optional mounting kit.
SW HDMI Series • Introduction 1
Page 8
Remote configuration and control — The switcher can be configured via an RS-232
or USB connection via SIS commands (see “Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS)
Commands” in the “Remote Communication and Control” section).
EDID Minder — A proprietary EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management
process from Extron, the EDID Minder manages the EDID between a digital display device and one or more input sources. By maintaining continuous EDID communication with all sources, EDID Minder ensures that digital sources power up properly and
maintain their video output, whether or not they are actively connected to the digital display device.
EDID modes — Either of the following EDID modes can be selected by SIS commands:
Automatic, in which the SW HDMI reads the EDID data when a display is connected
and stores the data in memory (default mode)
User-assigned, in which you can assign one of 46 factory-provided files of EDID
information to each input. Four undefined slots are also provided, to which you can
save the EDID of connected displays as additional EDID files. The assigned EDID does
not change if a different display device is connected. This mode is useful for trouble­shooting purposes.
Each time power is applied to the output device or the display is replaced, the SW HDMI either reads the EDID information from the display or reloads the user-assigned EDID
information. It then writes the information to non-volatile memory on the inputs. The input devices can read this information as they reboot (see “EDID Modes” in the “Operation” section for more information).
Output compatibility correction — The SW HDMI monitors the EDID on the
connected output device to ensure it is compatible with the currently selected input signal. The following corrections are made to the signal as necessary each time an input is selected:
Interface format: If the connected output device is DVI and the selected source is
HDMI, the signal is reformatted for DVI. If the output device is an HDMI device, no reformatting is necessary because HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI.
Video color bit depth: If the connected output device does not support the color
bit depth of the selected source signal, it is truncated to the next level down that is
supported; for example, 12-bit >10-bit > 8-bit. Bit depth truncation can be forced
via SIS commands to always downgrade to 8-bit, disabling deep color.
IR remote control (optional) — The hand-held IR 102 Remote Control can control
the SW HDMI via infrared signals that it sends to the switcher from a distance of up to
30 feet (9 m).
Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — To prevent unauthorized access to
the switchers, the front panel controls can be locked via the front panel buttons or SIS
commands (RS-232, USB, and IR control remain available).
Input cable equalization — Automatic input cable equalization compensates for signal
loss when long cable assemblies are used.
Power supply — An external 12 VDC, 1 A power supply with a 2-pole captive screw
connector accepts 100 to 240 VAC.

d Remote and auto-input switching connector — This 5-pole, 3.5 mm captive
screw connector (labeled “Remote”) can be used for RS-232 communication with the switcher, including firmware updates, and to enable auto-input switching.
To enable RS-232 control, connect the Tx (transmit), Rx (receive) and G (ground)
pins to the serial port of your computer (see “Wiring for RS-232 Control” on page 7).
To enable auto-input switching, short pins 4 and 5 of this connector together.
In auto-input switch mode, the switcher automatically switches to the highest numbered active input (see “Enabling Auto-input Switching”on page 10).
Wiring the Power Connector (Optional)
A 12 VDC, 1 A desktop power supply is provided with the SW HDMI. Should it become necessary to attach a 2-pole captive screw connector to your Extron power supply, follow
these instructions:
CAUTIONS: The power supply must not be permanently fixed to the building structure
or similar structures.
The power supply must not be located within environmental air
handling spaces or the wall cavity.
The installation must be in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 16.
The power supply must be located in the same vicinity as the Extron
AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2,
secured to a podium, a desk, or an equipment rack within a dedicated closet.
Always use a power supply specified for the SW HDMI by Extron.
Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance
certification and may cause damage to the supply and the switcher.
1. Cut the DC output cord to the length needed.
2. Strip the jacket to expose 3/16 inch (5 mm) of the conductors.
CAUTIONS: Exposing more than 3/16 inch (5 mm) of the copper wires
could allow the stripped wires to touch each other, causing a short circuit. This could result in the external DC power supply overheating and burning.
Stripping the wires to expose less than the recommended amount
may cause them to slide out of the connector too easily, even if they are tightly pinched by the captive screws.
Do not tin the stripped power supply leads before attaching the
captive screw plug to them. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and can be easily pulled out. They may also break after being bent several times.
3. Slide the leads into the supplied 2-pole captive screw plug and secure them, using a
small screwdriver.
WARNING: The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power
supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

Enabling Auto-input Switching
You can set up the SW HDMI to automatically select the active, connected input based
on detection of an active video signal. If two or more inputs are active, the input with
the highest number is selected (for example, input 4 on an SW4 HDMI switcher). When auto-input switching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel lights and
the front panel input selection buttons are disabled.
To enable auto-input switching:
1. Cut a small piece of wire to use as a jumper.
2. Insert the ends of the wire into slots 4 and 5 of the provided 5-pole
captive screw plug, connecting pins 4 and 5 together.
3. Use a small screwdriver to tighten the two screws above pin slots 4 and
5 of the plug, so that the jumper wire ends remain securely in place (see the illustration at right).
4. Insert the plug into the 5-pole Auto-SW captive screw connector on the
rear panel.
NOTE: Auto-input switching utilizes the +5 V signal (pin 18 of the HDMI input
connector) to detect an active source (see figure 5 on page 7). This
+5 V signal should be present only when the input source is powered on. However, some sources may also provide this signal while in standby
mode.
Figure 9 shows an SW4 HDMI with a jumper connecting pins 4 and 5 to enable auto-input
switching.

The input buttons are also used for enabling front panel lockout (executive mode) and to initiate a system reset (see “Locking and Unlocking the Front Panel (Executive
Mode)” on page 15 and “Resetting” on the next page).
d Signal status LEDs
Inputs: Each input has a corresponding numbered Signal LED, which illuminates
when a source is connected to the input connector and TMDS clock activity is detected on it.
NOTE: If the source device connected to the selected input is HDCP
encrypted (requires HDCP authentication), the corresponding signal LED may not light unless HDCP has been authenticated.
Output: The Output Signal LED lights when a TMDS signal is being transmitted to
the connected output device.
e HDCP status LEDs —
Inputs: Each input has a corresponding numbered HDCP LED. If the connected
source requires HDCP, the corresponding LED illuminates when authentication is
successful.
NOTE: HDCP is pre-authenticated on each input regardless of the currently
selected source.
Output: The Output HDCP LED lights if the currently selected input requires HDCP
and the connected output device has been successfully authenticated.
NOTE: HDCP is re-authenticated on the output whenever a new input is
selected.
f Config port — Connect a USB cable (USB A to mini B) between your computer and
this female USB mini B port to configure and control the switcher via SIS commands or the Universal Switcher Control Program and to update the firmware.

Powering on the Switcher
To power on the SW HDMI:
1. Connect all input and output devices to the rear panel connectors on the switcher (see
Rear Panel Features” on page 5 for the rear panel connections).
2. Power on the display.
3. Plug the power supply into the 2-pole captive screw power connector on the rear
panel. After approximately 4 seconds, the following takes place:
The unit performs a self-test, during which the front panel Auto Switch, Input,
Signal, and HDCP LEDs each blink once in sequence from left to right. If the self-test completes with no errors, the LED for the most recently selected input
remains lit.
The switcher reads the available EDID information from the connected output
device and writes it to memory on each input. When power is removed, these
settings remain in memory and are in effect when power is reapplied.
NOTE: If EDID Minder is in automatic mode, the settings revert to the default
EDID unless a display is connected to the HDMI output (see “EDID
Modes” on page 15).
4. Power on the input devices.
Selecting an Input
To switch (tie) an input to the output, press the desired input button on the front panel
(ensure that auto-input switching is not enabled). The LED corresponding to the selected
input button lights.
To determine the current configuration, check the front panel input LEDs. The one that
is lit indicates the selected input. The LED remains lit until a new input is selected.
Only one input can be switched to the output at a time.
Other ways to select an input include using SIS commands (see the Input Selection commands in the “Remote Communication and Control” section) or optional IR remote control (see “Using the Optional IR 102 Remote Control” on the next page).
Resetting
To reset the switcher to its factory default settings:
1. Press and hold the Input 1 button while power is being applied to the unit.
2. Continue holding the Input 1 button until the power-up sequence completes.

Using the Optional IR 102 Remote Control
The optional hand-held IR 102 Remote Control (part #70-224-10) lets you remotely perform functions that are also available through the front panel buttons and SIS commands.
The IR receiver port on the front panel is located to the right of the Auto Switch LED. It
receives signals from the remote control if they are sent from within a 40-degree arc to the right or left of direct line of sight between the remote control and the switcher receiver, and from no more than 30 feet (9 m) away (see figure 12).

Figure 13. Enabling or Disabling Executive Mode
EDID Modes
The SW HDMI switchers utilize the EDID Minder, which maintains EDID communication to all connected sources, whether or not any of the sources are selected. EDID information
consists of the display resolution, refresh rate, data rate, supported audio formats, and
other features. By factory default, the EDID stored on all inputs contains information for a native resolution of 720p @ 60 Hz, 2-channel audio.
EDID Minder can be configured in two modes: automatic and user-assigned.
Automatic EDID mode
In automatic mode, the switcher automatically stores EDID from the connected display and
communicates it to the inputs; no other configuration is required. This is the default mode.
Reading and storage process — Each time a display is connected to the HDMI
output while the power is connected, the SW HDMI reads the EDID from the display
device and stores it at each input. This information is retained after the display is disconnected; however, it is overwritten if a new display is connected or a user
assigned EDID file is selected.
Default EDID — When the switcher is in automatic mode, the default EDID
(720p @ 60 Hz) is stored at each input until a display is connected, at which time it is
overwritten.
SW HDMI Series • Operation 15
Page 22
User-assigned EDID mode
In this mode, you can select an EDID file that is stored on the switcher at the factory. The selected EDID is stored at the inputs and is not overwritten; the switcher does not automatically obtain EDID information from the display.
You may want to use this mode if there is a problem with automatic communication of
the EDID information from the attached display, and you want to ensure that the correct information is stored on the inputs. Also, because this mode disables automatic EDID reading and storage, you can retain one set of EDID information on the inputs and not
have it changed when another display is connected.
Factory-loaded EDID files — You can select from a list of 46 EDID files that are
loaded on the switcher at the factory. Each EDID file contains a unique native
resolution and audio support (if applicable). The EDID table on the next page shows
the EDID files that are provided with the switcher.
User-loaded EDID file — In addition to the 46 EDID files provided with the switcher,
four empty locations (47 through 50) are provided. To these slots you can save the
EDID of the display that is currently connected to the output port of the switcher. Any of these four files can then be selected as one of the user-assigned EDID files.
Changing the EDID mode
EDID modes can be switched only by SIS command. By default, the SW HDMI is in automatic EDID mode. To change between automatic and user-assigned modes, enter the
following SIS command:
E
A * X% EDID }
where X% is 0 (automatic mode) or the number of the user-assigned EDID file that you want to select (1 through 50) (see the “Remote Communication and Control” section
for instructions for entering SIS commands via RS-232 or USB).
NOTE: The switcher remains in the selected EDID mode after power is recycled. If the
unit is reset to factory defaults, it reverts to automatic mode.
See the table on the next page for a list of supported EDIDs.

Remote Communication and Control
This section describes remote operation of the SW HDMI switchers. Topics include:
Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
Updating Firmware Using Firmware Loader
Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
The SW HDMI can be remotely set up and controlled via Extron SIS commands that are
issued from a host computer or other device, such as a control system. SIS commands can be issued via RS-232 from the computer serial port to the rear panel Remote port, or via
USB from the computer USB port to the front panel Config port. (See “Wiring for RS-232
Control” on page 7 or “Connecting to the USB Port” on page 8 to connect to these
ports.)
Host-to-switcher Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. You can enter these commands from
your computer using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer or HyperTerminal. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the
command and sends a response to the host device.
Most responses from the SW HDMI to the host computer end 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.
Switcher-initiated Messages
When a local event such as a front panel selection or a change in signal status takes place,
the switcher responds by sending a message to the host, indicating what selection was entered. No response is required from the host.
The following switcher-initiated message is displayed:
(C) Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics HDMI Switcher Series, Vn.nn, 60-641-nn
The switcher sends the copyright message when it first powers on. Vn.nn is the firmware version number; 60-641-nn is the switcher part number.
NOTE: This message is displayed only at power-up with an RS-232 connection.
SW HDMI Series • Remote Communication and Control

Page 26
Error Responses
If the switcher is unable to execute a command it receives because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The following error response codes can be sent:
E01 – Invalid input channel number (out of range) E06 – Invalid input selection during auto-input switching E10 – Invalid command E13 – Invalid value (out of range)
Using the Command and Response Table
The command and response table, starting on page 21, lists valid ASCII and hexadecimal command codes, the switcher responses to the host, and a description of the command function or the results of executing the command.

Mounting the SW HDMI
The SW HDMI switcher can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, or mounted under
a desk, podium, or table.
Tabletop Use
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the SW HDMI. For tabletop use, attach
one foot at each corner on the bottom of the unit, and place the switcher where desired.
Rack Mounting
UL rack mounting guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of
the equipment in a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is 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 equipment 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 — When mounting the equipment in the rack, ensure that
uneven mechanical loading does not cause a hazardous condition.
4. Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit,
consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings 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 (for example, use of power strips).
Rack mounting procedures
See the Accessories table on page 30 for the available rack shelf kits and their part numbers.
Mounting on a rack shelf
1. If feet were previously attached to the bottom of the unit, remove them.
2. Mount the switcher on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16 inch screws in opposite
(diagonal) corners to secure the unit to the shelf (see figure 23 on the next page).
3. Install blank panels or other units on the rack shelf as desired.
4. Install the shelf in the rack.
