See Wiring the CONTACT/TALLY Connectors on page9 for more information.

Wiring the Power Connector

A 12 VDC, 1.5 A, pre-wired power supply is provided with the SW HD 4K PLUS. If, instead, you intend to use a different power supply, follow the instructions beginning on the next page to wire the provided 2-pole captive screw connector to your power supply.
CAUTION: The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in.
Remove power before wiring.
ATTENTION : Les deux cordons d’alimentation doivent être tenus à l’écart l’un
de l’autre quand l’alimentation est branchée. Couper l’alimentation avant de faire l’installation électrique.
SW HD 4K PLUS Series • Installation 6
Page 15
ATTENTION:
Always use a power supply supplied and 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.
If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a
power source marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated at 12 VDC and a minimum of
1.5 A.
Si ce produit ne dispose pas de sa propre source d’alimentation électrique, il doit
être alimenté par une source d’alimentation de classe 2 ou LPS et paramétré à 12 V et 1.5 A minimum.
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/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical Code, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être fixée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.
Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the
power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord (see figure5 on the next page) identify the power cord negative lead.
La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte
pourrait endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté du cordon permettent de repérer le pôle négatif du cordon d’alimentation.
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and
check the output with a voltmeter.
Pour vérifier la polarité avant la connexion, brancher l’alimentation hors charge et
mesurer sa sortie avec un voltmètre.
The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important.
The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together.
Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les
dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.

For the different reset levels, press and hold the button while the switcher is running or while you power up the switcher (see Resetting on page14 for details).

Powering on the Switcher

To power on the SW HD 4K PLUS:
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. Power on the SW HD 4K PLUS: Plug the power supply into the 2-pole captive screw
power connector on the switcher rear panel. During the boot process:
a. 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.
b. The Auto-Switch LED blinks for approximately 45 seconds. During this time, 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.
c. At the end of the boot process, the Auto-Switch LED turns off, and the LED for the
most recently selected input lights.
4. Power on the input devices.

the Contact port, press the button that is connected to the slot that corresponds to the desired input.
momentarily short one of the Contact Closure pins (C) to the ground pin (G) using a jumper wire. Input is switched immediately when the jumper contacts both pins.
NOTE: If an input pin is latched permanently to the ground pin, input
switching by any other method is disabled while those pins are connected.

Auto-input Switching

Enabling Auto-input switching
Auto-input switching allows the SW HD 4K PLUS to automatically select the active, connected input based on detection of an active video signal (TMDS clock activity). If two or more inputs are active, the highest-numbered input port with an active signal is selected (for example, input 4 on an SW4 HD 4K PLUS switcher).
When auto-input switching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel lights and the front panel input buttons are disabled.
By default, auto-input switching is disabled. To toggle auto-input switching on and off:
1. Press and hold input button 1 on the front panel.
2. While holding button 1, press and release input button 2.
SW HD 4K PLUS Series • Operation 13

Resetting

Auto-input switch modes
The SW HD 4K PLUS switchers provide three auto switch modes, which can be selected via SIS commands (see Auto‑input Switch Mode commands on page 19) and PCS (see the PCS help file).
Mode 0 (disabled mode) — Auto-input switching is disabled.
Mode 1 (user‑assigned mode) — The switcher selects the input to which you assign
priority (via SIS commands). If no priority is assigned, the switcher selects the active input with the highest number (default user selection).
Mode 2 (input memory priority mode) — The switcher selects the most recently
applied input, and retains a history of the order in which active inputs are connected to the unit. If an active input is removed, the switcher switches to the most recently selected input.
Mode 2 timeout — Using SIS commands, you can set the number of seconds (0 to
250) the switcher delays before selecting the most recent input.
Resetting from the front panel, described in this section, returns the unit to its factory-set values.
NOTE: IP settings, including IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, unit name,
DHCP setting, and port mapping, are not affected by this command.
To reset the switcher to its factory default settings:
1. Using a stylus or small screwdriver, press the recessed R button on the front panel and
hold it for 3 seconds.
Pressing this button is equivalent to entering the
Resetting commands on page 23).

EDID Minder

EDID Minder ensures that a source device connected to the SW HD 4K PLUS input continuously recognizes the EDID of a sink device, even if the sink is not physically connected. By default, the EDID is set to 1080p @ 60 Hz with 2-channel audio.
EDID can be set to match output rate, a custom user-defined EDID, or a factory setting. A variety of EDID are available to be loaded via PCS and assigned to the inputs (see the SW HD 4K PLUS PCS Help file, provided with the PCS program, for information on assigning EDID).

Remote Configuration and Control

This section describes remote operation of the SW HD 4K PLUS switchers. Topics include:
Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
Downloading the SW HD 4K PLUS Firmware
Accessing the Product Configuration Software

Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands

The SW HD 4K PLUS 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 switcher rear panel Remote port (see Wiring for RS‑232 Control on page8), USB from a computer USB port to the switcher front panel Config port, or Telnet (IP) from a computer Ethernet port to the switcher rear panel LAN 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 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.
Responses from the SW HD 4K PLUS 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 change in signal status takes place, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host, indicating what change has occurred. No response is required from the host.
The switcher sends the following message when it is first powered on:
(C) Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics, SW HD 4K PLUS, Vn.nn, 60-160n-01
20nn is the year in which the copyright for the firmware was registered, Vn.nn is the
firmware version number, and 60-160n-01 is the switcher part number.
NOTE: This message is displayed at power-up only with an RS-232 or USB connection.
SW HD 4K PLUS Series • Remote Configuration and Control 15
Page 24

Error Responses

Space
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 (out of range) E06 – Invalid input 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 page 19, 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 conversion table below is for use with the command and response table.

In verbose response mode, the switcher responds with unsolicited
responses for value and setting changes that may result from a signal change, or a setting adjustment made via another interface.
For example, the switcher can send out a notice of a change in some
setting without receiving a query via a PC or a control system. That change could have been a result of an internal process, a selection made from the front panel, or a selection made via PCS. This is an example of a verbose (wordy) relationship between the controller and a connected device.
