Go to www.extron.com for the complete
user guide, installation instructions, and
specifications before connecting the
product to the power source.
The Extron SW HD 4K PLUS are two and four input HDMI switchers that support 4K video signals at 60 Hz. They
switch 4K/60 signals between multiple HDMI source devices to a single display. The switchers support computer and
video resolutions up to 4K/60 and 1080p/60, data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR, 12-bit Deep Color, 3D, Lip Sync, and
HD lossless audio formats. Both models feature EDID Minder®, which maintains continuous EDID communication
with connected devices and ensures that the HDMI sources power up properly and maintain correct video output.
The switchers also provide automatic input cable equalization up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) when used with Extron
HDMI Pro Series cable.
The SW HD 4K PLUS Series offers control via front panel buttons, USB, Extron Product Control Software (PCS),
Ethernet, RS-232, contact closure, and auto-input switching for integration with any control system. Front panel LED
indicators provide immediate visual conrmation of HDCP authentication and signal presence for each input and
output.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate these switchers.

installation, conguration, and operation details, see the SW HD 4K PLUS Series User Guide, available at

NOTE: LockIt® cable lacing brackets, one for each HDMI input and output connector, are provided with the
SW HD 4K PLUS. These brackets can be used to secure the HDMI cables to the rear panel connectors
to reduce stress on the HDMI connectors and prevent signal loss due to loose cable connections. For
information on attaching the LockIt brackets, see the LockIt HDMI Lacing Bracket instructions in the SW
HD 4K PLUS Series User Guide card, available at www.extron.com.
4. Connect an HDMI output device to the output connector (
). By default, the EDID of this device is stored at

of the switcher.
6. (Optional) Connect contact closure and indicator devices. The Contact/Tally section of the rear panel
contains one (SW2) or two (SW4) female captive screw connectors, each with two pairs of pins labeled C and T
(see 1 in the illustration below right).
Each pin pair is labeled with the number of the HDMI input associated with it. Wire devices to these connectors
as follows:
a. SW2 models — Wire and connect the provided 5-pole plug to the 5-pole Contact/Tally captive screw
connector on the rear panel.
SW4 models — Wire and connect the provided 5-pole plug to the Contact In/Tally Out connector on the
left (containing pin pairs 1 and 2), and wire and connect the provided 4-pole plug to the connector on the
right (pin pairs 3 and 4).
b. Connect contact input and tally output devices to the pin pair for each input you are using, as follows:
• To enable input switching via contact closure, connect a push-button
11
contact closure input device to pin C (2) and to the G (ground) pin
(5) of the 3-pole RS-232 connector.
• To identify the currently selected input when the front panel buttons
are not visible, connect an indicator device, such as an LED, to tally
12
output pin T (3) of the same pin pair.
When the input you are using is selected, the corresponding tally out
