How to check if a display is compatible:

1. Apply AC power to the display.

2. Turn the display on.

3. Select the video input.

4. Adjust the volume.

5. Unplug the display (remove AC power).

6. Re-apply AC power to the display.

If the display powers back up (to the on state)
and to the same input and volume level, the
display will work with the TeamWork system.

For audio playback,

Display Requirements for the IPL T PC1 and IPL T PC1i

1080p Native

ATTENTION: This section applies to the IPL T PC1 and the IPL T PC1i, which controls the AC power to the display. If a

different controller is used, it needs to be congured differently (see the user guide for the controller at www.extron.com).

The TeamWork system works with most brands and models of at panel displays available worldwide. For optimum performance,
consider the following when selecting the displays for your TeamWork installation. The display should be tested thoroughly prior
to installation or mass deployment of TeamWork systems.

Power attributes — The IPL T PC1 works by controlling AC power to the display. When the display is in the on state with
an HDMI input selected, it must be able to power back on to the same HDMI input when AC power is disconnected and
reconnected. If the display doesn’t behave this way, an alternate display should be used. Alternatively, you may need to control
the display a different way (for example RS-232, infrared, or via Ethernet) using a different type of Extron control processor.

Sleep mode — if the display has a sleep mode feature (sometimes called ‘auto sleep’), it must be disabled. Many displays have
an option to disable this within the menu settings.

Resolution — The TeamWork systems were designed for use with at panels having an HDMI input connector and having a
native resolution of 1080p. Many of the readily available consumer and professional displays support 1080p natively.

Audio — Audio from source devices is supported in the TeamWork system by routing it as an embedded audio signal to the
display for playback via integrated speakers. Most displays with HDMI inputs and integrated speakers work this way. Some
professional or commercial grade displays do not have integrated speakers and will not support audio playback. Typically, source
devices with HDMI output connectors embed audio onto the HDMI connector.

TeamWork • Installation Guide (Continued)

NOTES:

• Always check and test compatibility before installation. Some systems may require advanced conguration of the system

controller and require the display to be controlled by RS-232, Ethernet, or infrared.

• Some displays support a lockout of local buttons. Extron recommends that, after setup, user accessible controls are

locked whenever possible. This ensures the display remains optimized for the TeamWork system.

IEC C14 Male Power Cord Plug Installation

When using the IPL T PC1i system controller (International TeamWork kits) you must replace the power plug on the display with
the provided IEC C14 male power cord plug. This plug has a maximum current rating of 10 A and a maximum voltage of 250 VAC.

WARNING: High Voltage. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury.

• Installation and service of the power cord plug must be performed by authorized personnel only.

• Observe the correct wire polarity.

• Before installation, disconnect the display from the power source or any other device.

NOTE: The power cord plug shown in the gure is for illustration only. The plug provided may not look exactly the same.
