About this Guide
This manual describes the Extron SW HDMI LC switchers and discusses how to install, configure, and operate them.
In this manual, the term “SW HDMI LC” refers to both the SW2 HDMI LC and the SW4 HDMI LC switchers. “Switcher” and “SW HDMI LC” are used interchangeably to refer to any single unit.
About the SW HDMI LC Switchers
The Extron SW HDMI LC switchers are two and four input, one output, High-definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) switchers that allow multiple HDMI signals, including digital video and embedded multi-channel digital audio to be switched to one compatible display. These switchers support all standard single link HDMI 1.3a (up to 225 MHz) and DVI 1.0 signal formats and are compatible, at 60 Hz, with all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p and with PC resolutions up to 1920x1200.
The SW HDMI LC 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 by pressing buttons on the IR 102.
Features
Auto-input switching — The SW HDMI LC can be configured to automatically switch to the highest-numbered active input when the switcher detects a signal.
Signal presence LEDs — Each input is represented by a front panel bicolored LED, which lights if a signal is present for the input and there is activity on the TMDS lines.
Rack and furniture mounting — The SW HDMI LC can be mounted on a rack shelf or under a desk or podium with an optional mounting kit.
IR remote control (optional) — The hand-held IR 102 Remote Control can control the SW HDMI LC via infrared signals that it sends to the switcher from a distance of up to 30 feet (9 m).
SW HDMI LC • Introduction 1
Page 8
Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — To prevent unauthorized access to the
Extron
switchers, executive mode can be enabled via the front panel or SIS commands. When the switcher is in executive mode, all front panel controls are disabled (RS-232 and IR control remain available).
Power supply — An included external 12 VDC, 1 A power supply with a 2-pin captive screw connector accepts 100 to 240 VAC. This power supply is universal ENERGY STAR® qualified, providing worldwide compatibility, low power consumption, and reduced operating costs (part number 70-775-01).
Remote control — The switcher can be controlled via SIS commands issued through an RS-232 computer interface. (see “Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands” in the “Remote Communication and Control” section).
Input cable equalization — Selectable via SIS commands, input cable equalization compensates for signal loss when long cable assemblies are used.
HDCP compliant — HDCP communication is passed through directly from the selected input source to the output device.

Wiring the Power Connector (Optional)
A 12 VDC, 1 A desktop power supply with a 2-pin captive screw connector attached is provided with the SW HDMI LC. If you are using a different external power supply from the provided one, you may need to wire the captive screw connector for your power supply.
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 A/V 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 by Extron for the SW HDMI LC. 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.
CAUTION: 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.
3. Slide the leads into the supplied 2-pin captive screw plug and secure them, using a
small screwdriver.
4. To verify the power cord polarity before connecting the plug, connect in the power
supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.
WARNING: The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power
supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
CAUTION: 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.

Enabling Auto-input Switching
You can set up the SW HDMI LC 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 LC 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 (stripped) 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) to
detect an active source. (See HDMI Video Input Connectors
Pin Assignments, earlier in this section.) 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.
The figure below shows an SW4 HDMI LC with a jumper connecting pins 4 and 5 to enable auto-input switching.

Signal presence LEDs — Each SW HDMI LC input has a corresponding numbered
d
bicolored Signal LED, which lights as follows when a source is connected to the input connector:
Amber when a +5 V signal is detected Green when TMDS activity is detected
Follow these steps to power on the SW HDMI LC:
1. Connect all input and output devices to the switcher rear panel connectors. (See
Rear Panel Features” in the “Installation” section for information on 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. 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. If the self-test completes with no errors, the LED for the most recently selected input remains lit.
4. Power on the input devices.
Selecting an Input
To switch (tie) an input to the output, press the front panel button for the desired input (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 “Remote
Communication and Control” section) or optional IR remote control (see “Using the Optional IR 102 Remote Control,” on the next page). Front panel input selection is

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 the illustration below.)

Remote Communication and Control
This section describes remote control operation of the SW HDMI LC switchers, including:
Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
Updating Firmware Using Firmware Loader
Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
The SW HDMI LC can be remotely set up and controlled via a host computer or other device (such as a control system), attached to the rear panel Remote/Auto-SW port, using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands. See “Enabling Auto Switching” in “Installation” section for information on connecting to this port.
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 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 LC 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 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 2010, Extron Electronics HDMI LC Series, Vx.xx, 60-xxxx-01
The switcher sends the copyright message when it first powers on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number; 60-xxxx-01 is the part number.
NOTE: This message is displayed only at power-up.
SW HDMI LC • Remote Communication and Control

Page 20
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 and their descriptions are as follows:
E01 – Invalid input channel number (out of range) E06 – Invalid input selection during auto-input switching E10 – Invalid command E13 – Invalid parameter (out of range)
Using the Command/response Table
The command/response table on the following pages lists valid ASCII and hexadecimal command codes, the responses from the switcher 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/response table.

Mounting the SW HDMI LC
The SW HDMI LC 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 LC. 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
The SW HDMI LC switcher can be mounted on a rack shelf or on one of the supports at the back of the rack.
