Connectors
•
RS-232 Over XTP or RS-232 Over Fiber connector
— To pass bidirectional serial
signals between XTP devices, connect a control device or device to control to the
5-pole captive screw connector. The connector includes only the 2 poles labeled
“RS-232” and shares the ground pole with the IR poles.
•
IR Over XTP or IR Over Fiber connector
— To transmit and receive IR signals (up
to 56 kHz), connect a control device or device to control to the 5-pole captive screw
connector. This connector includes only the 2 poles labed “IR” and shares the ground
pole with the RS-232 poles.
NOTE:
RS-232 and IR data can be transmitted or received simultaneously (see
on page 22 for wiring details).
Input Connections
Excluding XTP interconnection, input boards connect local video and audio sources directly
to inputs on the matrix switcher. The types of connectors available depend on the board,
but may include HDMI, DVI, SDI, analog video, or analog audio connectors.
HDMI input connectors
Connect a digital video source device to an HDMI input connector. The connector accepts
HDMI, DVI (with an appropriate adapter), or dual mode DisplayPort video sources.

Use an Extron LockIt Cable Lacing Bracket to secure an HDMI cable to the HDMI
connector (see
DVI input connectors
Connect a digital video source to a DVI Pro input connector.

DVI Pro Input Connector
NOTE:
Although the DVI Pro boards use DVI-I connectors, the matrix switcher handles
only DVI-D (digital) video.
