About this Guide

This guide describes the SW2 DP switcher and discusses how to install, configure, and operate it. The terms “switcher” and “SW2 DP” are used interchangeably to refer to the SW2 DP switcher.

About the SW2 DP

The Extron SW2 DP is a two input, one output, DisplayPort switcher that switches DisplayPort video and embedded multi-channel digital audio signals. The SW2 DP is HDCP compliant and supports data rates up to 10.8 Gbps and computer resolutions up to 2560x1600 W 60 Hz.

The SW2 DP switcher can be controlled via the front panel or the RS-232 interface. You can select inputs by pressing the front panel buttons, enabling auto-input switching, or entering Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands via RS-232.

Features

• HDCP — The SW2 DP checks the sources and display for HDCP compliance. HDCP

LEDs for the inputs and output indicate whether HDCP authentication was successful.

• Thunderbolt™ source support — Thunderbolt sources are backwards-compatible

with the SW2 DP inputs for DisplayPort audio and video (Thunderbolt devices are not supported on the SW2 DP output).

• Auto-input switching — The SW2 DP can be configured to automatically switch to

the active input when the switcher detects a signal. If both input signals are present, the switcher switches to input 1.

• Signal detection LEDs — Both inputs and the output are represented by LEDs on the

front panel. Each LED lights if a signal is present for its input or output.

• Input cable equalization — Automatic input cable equalization compensates for

signal loss up to 25 feet (7.6 m).

• RS-232 control — The switcher can be controlled via SIS commands issued through

an RS-232 computer interface.

• Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — To prevent unauthorized access

to the switchers, front panel lock mode can be enabled via the front panel or SIS commands. When the switcher is in lock mode, all front panel controls are disabled (RS-232 control remains available).

SW2 DP • Introduction 1

Page 10

• EDID Minder — EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) consists of the resolution,

Displ

refresh rate, and pixel clock information of a display device. The EDID Minder manages this information between the digital output device and the inputs. By maintaining continuous EDID communication with the sources, the EDID Minder ensures that all DisplayPort sources power up properly and maintain their video outputs, whether or not an active signal is displayed.

• A rear panel DIP switch enables you to either keep the default EDID of 1920x1080 @

60 Hz with 2-channel audio or store the EDID of the connected display at the output so that connection with the display is made quickly and smoothly at each power-up.

• Power supply — An external 12 VDC power supply with a 2-pole captive screw

connector accepts 100 to 240 VAC.

• Rack and furniture mounting — The SW2 DP can be mounted on a rack shelf or

under a desk or podium with an optional mounting kit.

Wiring the Power Connector (Optional)

A 12 VDC, 1 A desktop power supply with a 2-pole captive screw connector attached is provided with the SW2 DP. Should it become necessary to attach a 2-pole captive screw connector to your Extron power supply, follow these instructions:

WARNING:

• Risk of electric shock. Keep the two power cord wires separate while the power

supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

• Les deux cordons d’alimentation doivent rester séparés tant que l’alimentation est

branchée. Coupez l’alimentation avant de faire les raccordements.

ATTENTION:

• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the

equipment. Identify the negative (or ground) lead by the ridges on the side of the cord.

• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte

• Always use a power supply supplied by or speciﬁed by Extron. Use of an

unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certiﬁcation and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron.

L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit ﬁnal.

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC to 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.

• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs CA/CC ne conviennent pas à une

utilisation dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales. La source d’alimentation doit être située à proximité de l’équipement audiovisuel Extron dans un emplacement habituel, avec un degré de pollution 2, ﬁxée à une estrade, un bureau, ou dans une baie technique à l’intérieur d’un placard dédié.

To wire the power connector:

1. Cut the DC output cord to the length needed.

2. Strip the jacket to expose 3/16 inch (5 mm) of the conductors.

ATTENTION:

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is important. The ideal

length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If they are too long, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If they are too short, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est importante lorsque l’on entreprend de les

dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont trop longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court-circuit. S’ils sont trop courts, ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés par les borniers à vis.

3. Slide the leads into the supplied 2-pole captive screw plug and secure them, using a

small screwdriver.

ATTENTION:

• 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.

• Ne pas étamer les conducteurs avant de les insérer dans le connecteur. Les

câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien ﬁxés dans le connecteur et pourraient être tirés. Ils peuvent aussi se casser après avoir été pliés plusieurs fois.

4. To verify the polarity of the power cord before connecting it, plug in the power supply

with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

5. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

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 and to update the firmware.

Powering On the Switcher

Follow these steps to power on the SW2 DP:

1. Connect all input devices and the output to the switcher rear panel connectors (see

Rear Panel Features on page 4 for information on the rear panel connections).

2. Power on the output device.

3. Plug the power supply into the 2-pole captive screw power connector on the rear panel.

• The unit performs a self-test, during which the front panel Auto Switch and Input

LEDs each blink once in sequence from left to right. When the self-test completes, the LED for the most recently selected input remains lit.

• Depending on the DIP switch setting, the switcher either reads the stored EDID

information or applies the default EDID.

4. Power on the input devices.

Selecting an Input

To switch 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.

You can also select an input using SIS commands (see the Input Selection commands on page 19. Front panel input selection is disabled when auto-input switching is in effect.

EDID Minder

The SW2 DP switchers utilize the EDID Minder, which maintains EDID communication to all connected source devices, whether or not the source is selected. EDID information consists of the display resolution, refresh rate, data rate, supported audio formats, and other features. By factory default, the stored EDID contains information for a native resolution of 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz with 2-channel audio.

During power up, the source devices use an auxiliary channel to obtain Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) from the display device. This allows the output signal to match the resolution and refresh rate of the display device.

NOTES:

• The SW2 DP is fully HDCP compliant. The source negotiates with the SW2 DP

input and the display negotiates with the SW2 DP output.

• The SW2 DP does not support DisplayPort Content Protection (DPCP).

• The SW2 DP assigns identical EDIDs to the inputs.

EDID information is read from the display device connected to the output. The learned EDID is stored in memory and is retained after a power cycle or after a new display device is connected to the output. A reset to factory values returns the EDID to the default.

The new EDID is then available when DIP switch1 is in the Stored (down) position. Each time a new EDID is recorded, it overwrites the existing data and is available when DIP switch 1 in the Stored position.

Storing the Display EDID

1. Connect the display device that will provide EDID information to the output.

2. Power on the display and the SW2 DP.

3. Set DIP switch 1 in the Stored (down) position (see EDID Minder DIP Switch settings

4. Using a stylus or small Philips screwdriver, press the recessed EDID Store button.

The EDID Minder LED lights amber, then changes to green when the recording process is successfully completed.

Changing the stored EDID

To replace the stored EDID with that of a different display, connect the new display to the output, then repeat steps 2 through 4 of the Storing the display EDID procedure described above.

EDID Minder DIP switch settings

The EDID Minder DIP switch (DIP switch 1, on the left) selects the EDID value that is presented to the source device:

• In the Default (up) position, the EDID value is the factory-stored default, with a

Remote Configuration and Control

This section describes remote operation of the SW2 DP. Topics include:

• Using SIS Commands

• Updating Firmware Using Firmware Loader

Using SIS Commands

The SW2 DP can be remotely set up and controlled via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) that is attached to the rear panel Remote port. Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands are issued from the computer and transmitted to the SW2 DP via RS-232 (see Wiring for RS-232 Control on page 5 or Connecting to the

USB Port on page 6 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. Enter these commands on your computer and send them to the SW2 DP using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response back to the host computer.

Most responses from the SW2 DP 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 an input selection 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 sent when the switcher first powers up under RS-232 control:

where 20nn is the year, Vn.nn is the firmware version number, and 60-nnnn-nn is the part number of the unit.

NOTE: This copyright message is displayed only at switcher power-up and only under

RS-232 control.

SW2 DP • Remote Configuration and Control 1717

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. Error response codes used by the SW2 DP are:

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 for SIS Commands, starting on the next page, 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. The ASCII to Hex Conversion Table below is for use with the command and response table.

Reference Information

Mounting the SW2 DP Switcher

The SW2 DP 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 SW2 DP. 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).

Mounting on a rack shelf

You can mount the SW2 DP to a rack shelf that is at least 3 inches deep.

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 21).

3. Install blank panels or other units on the rack shelf as desired.
