Setting equalization for input sources

High and low EQ levels for each input can be selected via

the Input EQ DIP switches on the front panel. Setting these

switches to High (up) compensates for a degraded/poor quality

signal, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning

equipment.
If the input signal is strong, set the switches to Low (down).

Updating Firmware

Updates to the SW DVI A Series firmware are made available

periodically via the Extron Web site.

software, also available from the Extron site, enables you to

replace the firmware that is coded on the SW2/SW4’s control

board.
You can find out what version of firmware is currently loaded

on your switcher by entering the SIS “Q” command via the

RS-232 interface. See chapter 4, “SIS Configuration and

Control,” for the procedure for entering SIS commands.
