Wiring and Connections

WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher.  Read through this section in its 
entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.

 

 IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines

 

•  The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and 

electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on 
signal transmission which may limit performance.  Steps should be taken 
to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best 
results.

•  WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI due to the complexity 

of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that these 
connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance of the 
product.

RS-232 Wiring

The device uses a 3-pin phoenix with no hardware flow control.  Most control 
systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary from device 
to device.  Refer to the documentation for the connected device for pin 
functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.

Setup and Configuration

EDID and Scaling

EDIDs can be configured to request the correct content from the source device. It is recommended that you set an EDID appropriate to the maximum capability 
of the source device then configure the video & audio output settings to match the connected TV, projector or AVR. 
• 

When set to Auto-scale, the scaler will scan the EDID of the device connected to HDMI OUT 1, then dynamically adjust the output to the optimum 
resolution.

• 

When EDID settings are changed, ensure the source device is connected but powered off, then power on once all DIP switches have been set.

• 

Ensure that a display or AVR is connected and powered on before copying EDIDs or the copy will fail. 

• 

Power to the scaler must be cycled (Off/On) after changing dip switches in order for the setting to take effect.

EDID Switch Location

Setting EDIDs

1. Ensure the SP-618 and connected source devices are powered OFF
2. Set the desired switch configuration according to the illustrations below or 

the EDID table which is printed on the base of the unit.

3. Power ON the SP-618
4. Power ON the source device
