Congratulations and thank you for purchasing this SP Controls’ SP-SW5100-VUHD!
The SP-SW5100-VUHD is a hybrid AV + IoT presentation switcher which combines the power of
SP Controls audio-visual signal routing and display control.
In its simplest form, the SP-SW5100-VUHD is a multi-format presentation switcher that allows
up to 3 HDMI, 1 VGA, and 1 USB Type C (USB-C) devices to all share a single HDMI display. Audio
and video content from connected VGA and USB devices will be converted to HDMI so the dis-
play will only have one connection to the switcher. Any audio associated with the selected input
devices will be extracted and sent to the RCA connectors as a pre-amp for local sound reinforce-
ment. Stereo audio desitined for the display will continue to the display unempeded.
The SP-SW5100-VUHD is an electronic device that allows up to 3 HDMI, 1 VGA, and 1 USB Type
C “source” devices, such as a laptop computer and Sony® BluRay™ player, to share user-supplied
content on a single HDMI display, such as a high resolution LCD display panel or a LED projector
(e.g. “output”). Where audio is included in the video data stream (like HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-
C, etc.) stereo audio from the selected device is extracted and output on two (2) RCA connectors
(left/right) designed for local sound amplification. The system auto-switches to a new source
when connected or powered on.
Input port 2 (see call-out on next page) is designed for USB Type C (USB-C) devices, such as a
Google® Chromebook™, Samsung® Galaxy™ phones, Samsung® Galaxy™ Note, Dell® Laptops,
etc. The SP-SW5100-VUHD supplies power (up to 4 different voltage levels) to these devices in
accordance with USBPD 2.0 handshaking for the fastest charging capabilities available up to the
power available to the SP-SW5100-VUHD.
Users have numerous options to control the SP-SW5100-VUHD. By default, the SP-SW5100-
VUHD will automatically switch to any newly connected device. Users can manually select the
device by touching the Input Select button. External control systems, like those manufactured
by SP Controls, can utilize (a) the RS232 port, (b) the Ethernet port, (c) the IR port, and/or (d)
the USB 2.0 (USB-CDC) port.
