Installation Overview
To install and set up the SW HDMI switcher:
1.
Turn off all equipment
and disconnect it from the power source.
2.
(Optional)
Mount the switcher
on a rack shelf or furniture (see
Mounting the
SW HDMI
on page 33).
3.
Connect HDMI input sources
to one or more of the SW HDMI input connectors.
4.
Connect an HDMI output device
to the output connector.
5.
Connect control devices.
Connect your computer to either of the following
SW HDMI ports to configure and control the switcher via SIS commands:
•
RS-232 port
— Pins 1, 2, and 3 of the Remote port for serial RS-232 control
(see
Wiring for RS-232 Control
on page 8 for connection procedures)
•
Config port
— USB mini B connector for USB control (see
Connecting to the
USB Port
on page 9 for connection procedures)
6.
(Optional)
Enable auto-input switching.
Use a jumper to connect pins 4 and 5 of
the 5-pole captive screw plug that you plugged into the Remote connector in step 5
(see
Enabling Auto-input Switching
on page 11).
7.
(Optional) Connect an input device to the SW HDMI Contact port (directly or through
a contact closure device) and, if desired, to the Tally Out port, to enable input
switching by contact closure (see
Wiring for Input Selection by Contact Closure
on page 12).
8.
Power on the output display.
9.
Connect power to the switcher
(see
Powering On the Switcher
on page 15).
10.
(Optional)
Configure the EDID Minder.
By default, the SW HDMI is configured to
automatically store the EDID of the display (automatic mode). If desired, change the
EDID mode to prevent automatic EDID storage and enter the desired EDID manually
(see
EDID Modes
on page 17).
11.
Power on the source devices.
