The Extron Show Me cables are for use with Extron TeamWork systems. They feature a Share button for remote input source
selection and a control pigtail, which may be wired directly into Extron switchers with contact closure and tally outputs.

3.
Connect the black (Tally Out) and red (Contact In) pigtail wires as shown above. The number adjacent to the Tally Out and
Contact pins must correspond to the video input on the switcher.
4.
Press the
Share
button to switch the connected source to the main presentation display. Pressing the
Share
button creates
a momentary contact closure, which triggers the switcher to select the connected source device. If a tally output is available,
the button lights blue.
NOTES:
•
The drain wire does not need to be wired to the switcher. The Show Me cables are grounded via the video
connectors.
•
Do not connect the Show Me cable to the +V pin on the Extron switcher.
•
The source device provides the +5 VDC supply voltage needed to illuminate the
Share
button. If the source device
does not supply this +5 VDC, the
Share
button will not illuminate. Some mobile devices do not provide the required
voltage to light up the button.
•
Digital Show Me cables support embedded audio and CEC signals.
