About this Guide
This guide describes the SW4 12G HD-SDI switcher and discusses how to install, configure,
and operate it.
In this guide, the terms “SW4 12G HD-SDI” and “switcher” are used interchangeably to refer
to the SW4 12G HD-SDI switcher.
About the SW4 12G HD-SDI Switcher
Features
The Extron SW4 12G HD-SDI is a four-input, two-output 12G-SDI switcher. It switches
multi-rate SDI video, embedded audio, and other ancillary data between four source devices
and delivers simultaneous output signals to a pair of SDI displays or sink devices. The
SW4 12G HD-SDI supports video resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz, HDR, and data rates up
to 11.88 Gbps, including all common serial digital video data rates specified by SMPTE
and ITU standards. To ensure signal integrity over long cable runs, the switcher features
automatic input cable equalization and output reclocking. The SW4 12G HD-SDI provides
RS-232, front panel, and auto-input switching control options.
• Inputs — Four female BNC connectors.
• Outputs — Two female BNC connectors.
• Automatically adapts to SMPTE and ITU digital video standards for SDI signals
up to a 12G-SDI data rate.
• Supports data rates from 270 Mbps to 11.88 Gbps.
• Supports video resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz — The SW4 12G HD-SDI supports
resolutions up to 4096x2160 @ 60 Hz with 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 chroma sampling at 10 bits
per color.
• Support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) video — Enables greater contrast range
and wider color gamut by providing the necessary video bandwidth, color depth, and
metadata interchange capability for HDR video.
• Dual buffered output — Allows for simultaneous viewing and recording of the selected
input signal, eliminating the cost of a separate distribution amplifier.
• Automatic input cable equalization — Compensates for attenuation on the selected
signal and automatically equalizes cables at distances up to 230 feet (70 meters) for
12G-SDI signals, 787 feet (240 meters) for HD-SDI, and 984 feet (300 meters) for SDI.
SW4 12G HD-SDI • Introduction 1
• Automatic output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of digital video signals
k
at each output for recognized input data rates, eliminating high frequency jitter and
provides AV system designers with additional headroom when connecting multiple
devices.
• Passes ancillary data including HDR, embedded audio, closed captioning, and
time code — Up to 16 channels of embedded audio at 48 kHz, 24-bit audio, closed
captions, and time code are passed through to both outputs.
• Video output muting — The dual buffered output can be muted via SIS commands,
allowing the user to control when video is displayed.
• Input rate LEDs — Convenient front panel indicators allow visual confirmation
of 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SDI input data rates for quick, visual
identification of the selected digital video signal.
• Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS) — Provides a convenient method of
configuring multiple products using a single software application.
• Multiple control options including RS-232, front panel, and auto-input switching.
• Auto-input switching — Automatically switches to highest or lowest numbered input
with an active video signal, based on configured priority.
• Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure
environments.
• Front panel USB configuration port — Provides convenient access for setup,
configuration, and firmware updates.
• Rack mountable, 1U half rack width metal enclosure
• Internal Extron Everlast™ power supply — Provides worldwide power compatibility,
with high demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating
cost.
• Extron Everlast Power Supply is covered by a 7-year parts and labor warranty.

• Wiring for RS-232 Control
Installation Overview
To install and set up the SW4 12G HD-SDI switcher:
1. Turn off all equipment and disconnect it from the power source.
2. (Optional) Mount the switcher on a rack shelf or furniture (see Mounting the
SW4 12G HD-SDI Switcher on page 31).
3. Connect video inputs to the BNC input connectors 1 through 4 (see figure 2, B, on
the next page).
NOTE: Each input is equalized regardless of the rate.
4. Connect one or two video output devices to the BNC output connectors (C).

configuration and control, do either of the following:
• Wire the provided 3-pole captive screw connector to an RS-232 cable. Connect
the RS-232 cable to the RS-232 port on the rear panel of the switcher and to the
host RS-232 port (see the illustration at right). Protocol for the RS-232 port is 9600
baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
• Connect a USB A to mini B cable from the computer to the front panel USB Config
port (see figure 4, B, on page 6).

Power connector — Connect this male IEC connector to an AC power source. The
A
switcher powers on when the power cable is connected.
ATTENTION:
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical
Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to
building structure or similar structure.
• Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique
au National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian
Electrical Code, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne devra pas
être fixée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une structure
similaire.
SDI input connectors 1 through 4 — Connect up to four SDI video inputs to these
B
female 75 ohm BNC connectors.
Each input is equalized, regardless of the rate. The SW4 12G HD-SDI equalizes
incoming input signals with the following distances:
• Up to 230 feet (70 meters) at 11.88 Gbps
• Up to 295 feet (90 meters) at 5.94 Gbps
• Up to 590 feet (180 meters) at 2.97 Gbps
• Up to 787 feet (240 meters) at 1.485 Gbps
• Up to 300 meters (984 feet) at 270 mbps
SDI output connectors A and B — Connect one or two SDI output devices to these
C
female BNC buffered output connectors. These connectors output identical SDI signals,
buffered and reclocked.
The outputs receive and pass all ancillary data (HDR, embedded audio, closed caption,
and time code). Unknown rates are buffered but not reclocked.
The SW4 12G HD-SDI passes and distributes up to 16 channels of embedded audio at
48 kHz, 24-bit audio with video.
RS-232 connector — Use this 3-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector for RS-232
D
communication between the switcher and the computer.
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 the next page).
The default RS-232 protocol for this port is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no
parity.

Use a female 9-pin D-to-bare wire RS-232 cable or a universal control cable (UC50' or
UC100') to connect your computer or control system to the RS-232 pins of the Remote
connector.
1. Wire the unterminated end of the RS-232 cable to the provided 3-pole captive screw
plug as described below. Connect the transmit, receive, and ground wires of the cable
to the three pins of the connector, starting at the left:
• Connect the transmit wire to pin 1 which plugs into the Tx (transmit) port.
• Connect the receive wire to pin 2 which plugs into the Rx (receive) port.
• Connect the ground wire to pin 3 which plugs into the G (ground) port.
2. Plug the 3-pole connector into the Remote receptacle on the rear panel of the switcher.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate computer or control system
connector.
Figure 3 shows how to wire this connector for RS-232.

corresponding input is selected. If auto-input switching is in effect, these buttons are
disabled, but the LEDs continue to light to indicate the selected input.
Rate indicator LEDs — These six LEDs light to indicate the incoming SDI rate:

270 Mbps, 1.485 Gbps, 2.97 Gbps, 5.94 Gbps, 11.88 Gbps, or other. If the switcher
detects a rate other than those represented by the other five LEDs, the Other LED
lights.
When the switcher detects a valid rate on the input, the signal is equalized and
reclocked to that rate on the output. If the rate is not a valid one, the input is equalized,
but is not reclocked.
