1. Product Introduction
The SCAM62T is a 6 input multi-format (3 HDMI, 2 VGA, and 1 DP) 4K presentation
switcher that switches video signals to an HDMI and an HDBaseT output. The HDBaseT
output supports PoH and can connect to a compatible HDBaseT receiver up to a
maximum of 70 meters (230 feet) (HDBaseT receiver sold separately).
The SCAM62T supports for video resolutions up to UHD (4Kx2K@30Hz 4:4:4). With
multiple built-in EDID settings, including an EDID pass-through option, the highest
quality digital video signal will be routed directly to the display. When a VGA video signal
is connected, the video signal will be scaled up to 1920x1200.
The SCAM62T supports stereo and multichannel audio on the HDMI/DP inputs. The
analog audio paired with the VGA inputs is embedded into the digital video stream. In
addition to the audio embedded in the HDMI and HDBT output stream, which may be
muted, the audio is simultaneously de-embedded to an amplifier, a digital optical audio
output, and four analog audio outputs: two 3-pin phoenixconnectors, a 3.5mm mini jack,
and a 5-pin phoenix connector.
The SCAM62T features multiple methods of control. When set to Auto, the switcher will
automatically switch to the newest source device added to the SCAM62T; when the
active source is removed, the SCAM62T will switch to the first detected input. The
SCAM62T can be manually controlled via front panel, IR, RS232, and GUI.
1.1 Features
 The transmission distance between the switcher and HDBaseT receiver can up to
70m at 1080p, and 40m at 4K video.

5. Button Control
The front panel buttons can be used for signal switching, VGA resolution, and volume
adjustment.
5.1 Manual Signal Switching
First press any one of six inputs button, second press either 1-HDMI or 2-HDBT output
button, and finally press ENTER to select. The following are two examples:
1) Switch 2-HDMI input to 1-HDMI output:
2) Switch 5-VGA input to 2-HDBToutput:
5.2 Auto Signal Switching
 Press AUTO, and then press the output 1-HDMI to enable the HDMI output port to
automatically switch its input channel. Press them again to disable this automode.
 Press AUTO, and then press the output 2-HDBT to enable the HDBT output port to
automatically switch its input channel. Press them again to disable this automode.
For example: Enable auto switching mode for 1-HDMI output:
The auto-switching mode abides by the following principles:
 New input
Once detecting a new input signal, the switcher would switch to this new signal
automatically.
 Rebooting device
The switcher has the ability to save the last configuration before losing power. If the
last switching mode is auto-switching, once rebooted, the switcher will automatically
enter auto-switching mode, then detect all inputs and memorize their connection
status for future rebooting using. If the last displayed signal is still available, the unit
will output the signal. If not, the unit will detect all the input signals with priority from
AV: 01 → 02

1-HDMI to 6-VGA. When detected the first signal, it will transfer to output.
 Signal removing
Once removing the current display signal, the switcher will detect all input signals
with priority from 1-HDMI to 6-VGA. It will transfer the signal firstly detected to be
available to output devices.
5.3 VGA Scaling Resolution Selection
Press 5-VGA/6-VGA to set its output resolution, press again to select next one
(1024x768, 1280x720, 1280x800, 1360x768, 1920x1080, or 1920x1200).
5.4 Volume Adjustment
Press MIC+ or MIC- to increase or decrease microphone volume.
Press VOL+ or VOL- to simultaneously increase or decrease the volume of all audio
outputs.
5.5 Link Status Query
Press and hold MENU/3s for 3 seconds to enter link status query menu, and then press
Up and Down key to select IN Link Info or OUT Link Info, press Right key to enter

7. RS232 Control
The switcher can be controlled by sending RS232 commands. As RS232 signal can be
transmitted from the switcher to HDBaseT receiver, so it is able to control a far-end
third-party device based on RS232 pass-through function.
The baud rate can support 2400, 4800, 9600(default), 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200.
7.1 RS232 Control Software
Installation: Copy the control software file to the computer connected with the
switcher.
Uninstallation: Delete all the control software files in corresponding filepath.
Basic Settings:
First to connect the switcher with all input devices and output devices needed, then to
connect it with a computer which is installed with RS232 control software.
Double-click the software icon to run this software. Here we take the software
CommWatch.exe as example. The icon is shown as below:
