What is a System 5

crcr

cr Switcher?

crcr

Throughout this manual, the terms System 5 and System 5cr are both used to refer to the same product.

The System 5 provides central control for small audio/video installations. The five inputs accept video formats from composite, S-video and computer-video sources, together with line-level audio. In addition to being a video/audio switcher, the System 5 combines the functions of several devices, including projector control for LCD, DLP and Plasma Displays. A “room” function allows control of such things as lighting or a display screen and infrared “learning” adds control for one of many different projectors.

Figure 1-1. Example of a System 5 as part of a video/audio system.

Controlling the System

The System 5 functions as a switcher as it comes out of the box. However, to have projector control, it must be programmed. This can be done by learning projector IR commands or by loading a set of commands from Extron’s IR library into its memory. The IR library, as well as the latest control software is available at www.extron.com. Control of the System 5 and other devices can be done in several ways:

• The front panel

• Windows® control software from a PC

• Through RS-232 port by a PC, a touch screen panel, or any other device

capable of sending and receiving the serial port protocol.

• Optional control pads (SCP 100) can be mounted in a wall, or podium, and hard-wired to the System 5. Each SCP 100 replicates the front panel functions and can receive IR signals, and pass them to the System 5.

• The IR 40 remote control has each of the System 5 front panel functions.

1-1

Extron • System 5cr Switcher • User’s Manual

Infrared Learning for System Control

The IR receiver window on the front panel also serves as a learning port to add IR signals from other sources to the System 5 panel functions. Then, when a panel function is selected, the learned IR signal is transmitted into the room through the hard-wired IR emitter, or the optional IR Broadcaster, to be received by the projector. IR commands for the projector can be associated with each of the Display buttons (Power, Mute and Mode) on the front panel as well as with each of the five input buttons. Thus the System 5 switcher can control the projector. Stored commands (learned or uploaded) in the System 5 memory are also effective when using the IR 40, SCP 100 or RS-232 controls.

As an example, IR commands for the projector shown in Figure 1-1 can be stored in the System 5 memory such that when the VID1 input is selected, the projector will switch to its composite video mode. Selecting VID2 input could send a command to tell the projector to switch to S-video mode.

Standard Features

• 250 MHz bandwidth (-3 dB)

• Audio preamp with 2-channel stereo outputs

• Audio breakaway (switch audio and video separately, with RS-232)

• Audio input levels may be preset individually and then adjusted by the

master volume control.

• Five Inputs - computer video, RGBS, RGBHV, composite video or S-video

• Internal audio amplifier - 12 watt/channel, with adjustable output

• Room control - relay control of lights, window shades, display screen, etc.

• Projector control - display power, mute, mode (learned IR commands)

• Learns IR remote commands - from a library or through the front panel

• Memory stores IR commands that are learned, or uploaded through a PC.

(Procedure in Chapter 4.)

• RS-232 programming, with Simple Instruction Set (SIS)

• Triple-action switching (blank screen while switching between inputs)

• Special mounting brackets allow the System 5 to be mounted on a wall or

under a table, plus standard brackets are included for rack-mounting.

Inputs

_______ The four rear panel inputs described here include a 5-pole, captive screw

connector for 2-channel stereo audio, balanced or unbalanced signals.

Chapter 1 • Introduction and Features

• Computer video input is provided on the front panel through a VGA (female HD 15 pin) connector (PC1). This allows for quick connection of a laptop computer without having to access the rear panel of the switcher.

• Computer video may also be connected through BNC connectors to the PC2 and PC3 inputs, through an interface, such as an RGB 406, as shown in Figure 1-1.

• The VID1 and VID2 inputs can be either composite or S-video signals, both through BNC connectors.

Outputs

• The System 5 provides video outputs for RGBS, RGBHV, Composite and S-video formats. One output is active at any one time.

• Audio preamp output for either balanced or unbalanced audio signals is available through a 5-pole, captive screw connector.

• An internal, 12 watt/channel audio amplifier drives non-powered speakers.

• Stored IR commands output through emitter or broadcaster.

Options and Accessories

The System 5 is more than just a system switcher. Standard and optional features make it the control center for a small A/V system by adding control of other things in the room as part of the system design. Two of these standard features include:

• Room control allows for relay control of lights, window coverings, display screen, or most anything the system designer wants to use it for.

• An IR transmitter distributes all incoming IR signals, together with the learned commands in the immediate area.

Optional equipment includes:

• Current sensor (detects when projector power is on)

• Optional remote keypad, SCP 100 (1 or 2)

• IR broadcast device (transmits IR signals over a wide area)

Figure 1-2. System 5 with accessories and options

The System 5 combines switching, room control and projector control, each of which is controlled at the front panel, by hard-wired control pad (SCP 100) and by IR remote control (IR 40). The switcher can be used to control video and audio input settings, display functions such as power, mute and video modes, and room controls, such as lowering or raising a display screen or powering lights on or off.

Video Input Connections

2-1

IEC Power connector – for connecting the AC power cord.

PC2 and PC3 inputs accommodate video formats, through a computer-

video interface, as well as stereo audio from a computer. The video can be RGBS (composite sync) or RGBHV (separate horizontal and vertical sync), using BNC connectors. Connect balanced or unbalanced, 2channel audio to the connector marked L R, using a 5-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector. (Audio connectors are discussed later in this chapter.)

VID1 and VID2 each have two BNCs and a 5-pole, 3.5 mm audio

connector. The BNC connectors accept composite video or S-video. The formats are configured through the front panel, or through RS-232 programming. Connect composite video to the left BNC, marked V/Y. If using S-video, connect the luma (Y) signal to the left BNC (V/Y) and the chroma signal (C) to the right BNC connector marked C.

VID Input sources could be VCRs DVDs document cameras, or anything that outputs either composite video or S-video.
