Introducing the SDS Presentation Switch/Scaler

What is the SDS Presentation Switch/Scaler?

The SDS presentation switch allows the input of 9 video inputs to be switched to 2 outputs. The Input video formats include: CVBS, (Y,Pb/Cb,Pr/Cr), VGA, HDMI and HDBaseT. The two outputs are: HDMI and HDBaseT. Both outputs are controlled in parallel to allow the output signal to be monitored locally whilst also being sent up to 100m along the HDBaseT output via CAT5E/6 cable. The unit also incorporates 9 analogue 2-channel stereo audio inputs and 1 audio balanced stereo audio amplifier output. The balanced audio output can be used to output the output present on the HDMI and HDBaseT outputs or any of the 9 analogue inputs.

Why is the SDS Presentation Switch/Scaler necessary?

The SDS presentation switch removes a lot of the headaches that would usually be encountered when trying to formulate a audio and video setup for a presentation environment. The variety of input connectivity allows great flexibility for any user of the device to connect their desired device to the unit without need for converters or specialist cables. The analogue audio layer of the unit allows for connection to a powerful audio output, suitable for large venues. The HDBaseT technology enables a remote input to be received from up to 100m away and the output can then be sent another 100m away to a projector or screen. This means the unit can be located in a convenient central location whilst still having the ability to retrieve content from and deliver it to the required locations with relatively inexpensive and easy to install CAT5E/6 cabling.

Installation and Operation

Before beginning the installation process ensure that all video displays and audio outputs are compatible with the specification of the SDS Presentation Switch/Scaler. The best procedure, if not sure about how to do this, is to connect the source devices directly to the output devices and ensure successful operation without any Smart-e equipment connected. Once this has been verified the sources and outputs can be connected to the switch. Below is a list of the accepted input/output formats, resolutions, frame rates and interconnects:

Installation and Operation

Control – Audio Input Selection

The audio switch function of the unit controls the audio output from the amplifier, balanced audio output on the rear of the unit. Ensure the AV button is lit, this shows the unit is in audio switch mode. The currently selected audio inputs corresponding button will be lit on the front of the unit, this by default will be AUDIO 1. To change the input simply press and release the desired inputs button. This button will then be eliminated red and the previously selected input will no longer be lit. The LCD screen will also update, showing the newly selected audio input, once this message is seen the audio crosspoint has been set and accepted.

NOTE: Audio Input 10 does not appear on the rear panel of the unit, this audio input, when selected, allows the audio embedded via a HDMI or HDBaseT input, currently being sent to the HDMI and HDBaseT output, to be sent to the amplifier output. So in a auditorium environment for example when the output is being sent to a projector from a HDMI input the audio being sent with the video can be passed directly to the installed speakers of the room rather than having to be routed from the source as a separate analogue audio input saving time, complexity and cabling.

Installation and Operation

Configuration – Serial Control

The SDS presentation switch has the ability to be controlled via 232 using the DSub 9-pin socket on the rear of the unit.

The pin connections for 232 communications between the SDS and control device are shown below (pin connections typical for most standard D9 Male – Female Cables).

The Protocol document for the SDS presentation switch can be found on the product page:

www.smart-e.co.uk/product-range/sds-7000

The Smart-e control application can be downloaded from the Smart-e website:

www.smart-e.co.uk/downloads/software

Installation and Operation

Configuration – IP Control

A very useful feature of the SDS presentation switch is the ability to control the unit via Ethernet. This means the unit can be controlled from a remote location, be that in the same building as the unit itself or from anywhere in the world, simply by connecting the unit to an accessible network.

NOTE: Ensure SDS presentation switch is attached to network via Ethernet port prior to the unit being powered, the unit will only allocate an IP address on power up, attaching unit to network after this will result in the control over IP functionality being unavailable.

Installation and Operation

Structured Cabling Installation

The SDS presentation switch utilizes CAT5E/6 cabling for HDBaseT input and output and also for network connectivity.

This is the desirable cable choice as many buildings have it pre-wired into its infrastructure, as it is used widely for telecommunications and network connectivity. If cabling is not already present the CAT5E/6 cabling is very cost effective to install. The category 5E and 6 cabling is becoming the modern standard in the commercial environment as the added shielding to the cables gives protection to transmitted signals from noise produced by all manner of devices (lighting, PCs, air conditioning units etc..).

Below is an image showing the pinout of the CAT5E/6 cables to be used with the SDS presentation switch:
