About this Guide
This guide describes the Extron SW HDMI Series switchers and discusses how to install,
configure, and operate them.
In this guide, the term “SW HDMI Series” refers to both the SW2 HDMI and the
SW4 HDMI switchers. “Switcher” and “SW HDMI” are used to refer to any single unit.
About the SW HDMI Series Switchers
The SW HDMI Series are two and four input, one output, High-definition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) switchers. They allow multiple HDMI input signals, including digital video,
3D signals, and embedded multi-channel digital audio to be switched to one compatible
output display. These switchers support all standard single-link HDMI (up to 2.25 Gbps)
and Digital Video Interface (DVI) 1.0 signal formats. They are compatible at 60 Hz with all
HDTV resolutions up to 1080p and PC resolutions up to 1920x1200, with 12-bit color,
and are fully compliant with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
The SW HDMI switchers can be controlled via the front panel, the RS-232 interface,
contact closure, or the optional IR 102 Remote Control. You can select inputs by pressing
the front panel buttons, pressing buttons on the IR 102, enabling auto-input switching,
attaching a jumper or a contact closure device to the Contact port, or entering Simple
Instruction Set (SIS) commands via RS-232.
Features
• HDCP authentication — The SW HDMI switchers check the sources and the
display individually for HDCP compliance. HDCP LEDs for each input and the output
indicate successful HDCP authentication.
• Auto-input switching — The SW HDMI Series can be configured to automatically
switch to the highest-numbered active input when the switcher detects a signal.
• Signal detection LEDs — Each input and the output are represented by front panel
LEDs, which light if a signal is present for the input or output and there is activity on
the Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) lines.
• Contact closure — The Contact port enables inputs to be selected by contact
closure, with or without a contact closure device.
• Tally output port — Can be used in conjunction with the Contact port to indicate
the selected switcher input.
