Extron “Show Me” Cables

VGA

The diagram above shows a typical TeamWork 601 application. Digital or Analog input devices (laptops and a tablet) connect to
the switcher, using “Show Me” cables. Analog video is digitized to HDMI output. The “Show Me” cables allow the user to select
the active input on the switcher.

A control cable connects the RS-232 ports on the switcher and the system controller.

The system controller powers the display on and off. The system controller has been congured so that when a video signal is
detected on any of the switcher inputs, the display is powered on. A 30 second timer is started when no signal is detected on any
of the switcher inputs. If an active source is detected before the timer expires, the display remains on and the timer is reset. If 30
seconds pass without an active signal, the system controller powers off the display.

The TeamWork kits work, as described, without further software conguration. If you need to change the behavior or operation of
the system, you must congure the system controller (see the IPL T PC1/IPL T PC1i User Guide at www.extron.com).

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.
AVERTISSEMENT: Haute tension. Le non-respect de ces instructions peut provoquer des blessures graves.

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

• L’installation et l’entretient de la che du cordon d’alimentation doivent être effectués uniquement par le personnel

autorisé.

• Observe the correct wire polarity.

• Respecter la polarité correcte des câble.

• Disconnect the power from the display or any other device before you begin installation.

• Débranchez l’alimentation de l’appareil d’afchage ou de tout autre appareil avant de commencer l’installation.

Display Requirements

Ext

V

Resolution Display

.

The TeamWork system is designed to work 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 system 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.

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.

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.

Teamwork Systems work
by controlling AC power
to the display.

TeamWork systems require a display that
returns to the previous state when the power
cord is disconnected and then plugged back
in.

necessary, see the display user guide.

5. Press the power button on the power controller. The LED should go out

and the display should be turned off.

6. Connect one of the “Show Me” cables to a video source, such as a

laptop.

7. Press the “Show Me” button on that cable. If the source device is providing a video signal, the LED on the ShowMe cable

lights blue and the display automatically turns on.

8. Connect a second “Show Me” cable to a second video source.

9. Repeat step 7 to verify that the second source device is providing a video signal and it is the output signal from the switcher.

When the button on the second “Show Me” cable is pressed, the LED lights blue and the LED on the rst cable is switched
off.

10. Disconnect all the “Show Me” cables from the source devices.

After about 30 seconds without an input signal, the display should turn off.

11. Connect a “Show Me” cable to a source device and press the “Show Me” button on that cable.

Troubleshooting

No Image on the Display:

Cause 1 — There is a problem with the source device:

Solution — Verify the source device is powered on and outputs an active signal.

Cause 2 — Cable connections are incorrect:

Solution — Verify the HDMI output cable from the switcher is connected to the current HDMI input of the display.

Cause 3 — Display is off:

Solution 1 — Verify the display is in the on state.

Solution 2 — The TeamWork system turns the display on and off by controlling the ACpower. If the display has a Sleep Mode
feature, this feature must be disabled to prevent the display from accidentally powering off.

Cause 4 — The display has a problem:

Solution — Verify that the display functions correctly.

Cause 5 — The display cannot show video at the incoming resolution:

Solution — The EDID settings on the switcher may need to be changed. Refer to the MPS 601 User Guide
(see www.extron.com) or contact an Extron Support representative at www.extron.com/company/contactus.aspx.

TeamWork Kits • Installation Guide (Continued)

“Show Me” Button LEDs Stay Off When Pressed:

Cause 1 — The cable is not plugged into a source device that is producing an active video output signal:

Solution — Verify that the source device is on and producing an active signal.

Cause 2 — Contact or Tally wiring is incorrect:

Solution — See “Show Me” Cables (page 7) to ensure the contact and tally pins are correctly wired.

Cause 3 — The switcher is not powered on:

Solution — Verify that the switcher is powered on.

Cause 4 — Problem with “Show Me” cable:

Solution — Try connecting the video source to a different cable. If the second cable works correctly, there may be a problem
with the “Show Me” cable. Contact an Extron Support representative at www.extron.com/company/contactus.aspx.

Cause 5 — Problem with Switcher:

Solution — If none of the cables work correctly, there may be a problem with the switcher. Contact an Extron Support
representative at www.extron.com/company/contactus.aspx.

Cause 6 — The source device does not output +5V:

Solution — This is a problem with the source device. HDMI specications require pin 18 to carry a +5V output and VGA
specications require pin 9 to carry a +5V output.

The Display Does Not Automatically Turn On:

Cause 1 — Incorrect wiring:

Solution — Verify that the RS-232 communication cable is connected properly between the IPLink controller and Extron
switcher.

Cause 2 — There is no video signal present at “Show Me” cables:

Solution — Verify that an active signal is present at the input of any of the “Show Me” cables.

Cause 3 — IPLink conguration is missing or corrupted:

Solution — Contact an Extron Support representative at www.extron.com/company/contactus.aspx.

Cause 4 — Display power is out of sync:

Solution — The display is in standby mode. Turn on the display using the remote or the physical power button.

Cause 5 — Display has sleep mode enabled:

Solution — Go to the menu for the display and disable the sleep mode feature. Turn on the display using the remote or
physical power button.

The Display Stays On and Never Turns Off:

Cause 1 — Video signal is present at “Show Me” cables:

Solution — Verify that no active signals are present at the inputs of any of the “Show Me” cables. The TeamWork system is
designed to turn off the Display only when no video signals are present.
