About this Guide
This manual describes the Extron SW HDMI LC switchers and discusses how to install,
configure, and operate them.
In this manual, the term “SW HDMI LC” refers to both the SW2 HDMI LC and the SW4
HDMI LC switchers. “Switcher” and “SW HDMI LC” are used interchangeably to refer to
any single unit.
About the SW HDMI LC Switchers
The Extron SW HDMI LC switchers are two and four input, one output, High-definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) switchers that allow multiple HDMI signals, including digital
video and embedded multi-channel digital audio to be switched to one compatible display.
These switchers support all standard single link HDMI 1.3a (up to 225 MHz) and DVI 1.0
signal formats and are compatible, at 60 Hz, with all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p and
with PC resolutions up to 1920x1200.
The SW HDMI LC switchers can be controlled via the front panel, the RS-232 interface,
or the optional IR 102 Remote Control. You can select inputs by pressing the front panel
buttons, enabling auto-input switching, entering Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™
) commands
via RS-232, or by pressing buttons on the IR 102.
Features
Auto-input switching — The SW HDMI LC can be configured to automatically switch to
the highest-numbered active input when the switcher detects a signal.
Signal presence LEDs — Each input is represented by a front panel bicolored LED, which
lights if a signal is present for the input and there is activity on the TMDS lines.
Rack and furniture mounting — The SW HDMI LC can be mounted on a rack shelf or
under a desk or podium with an optional mounting kit.
IR remote control (optional) — The hand-held IR 102 Remote Control can control the
SW HDMI LC via infrared signals that it sends to the switcher from a distance of up to
30 feet (9 m).
