INTRODUCTION
About
The DXP-62 is the latest presentation scaler switcher innovation from Aurora. Designed to be a
low cost full featured high end scaler with a variety of input ports to accommodate legacy and
today’s technology. The VGA ports also can process YPbPr component video and composite
video for the ultimate in flexibility. Four HDMI inputs provide plenty of digital inputs for the
ultimate clarity with the latest equipment. To further simplify an installation, the DXP-62 has an
integrated HDBaseT extender output in addition to the HDMI output which can power the
remote receiver unit (DXE-CAT-RX1) and send the RS-232 control to the far end display
device. If an amplifier, screen control, web control, and ceiling tile speakers are required, the
DXE-AT-RX3C-A with SKR-22T can be selected to create a complete end to end solution.
Even the little things can make a big difference like auto sensing switching, stereo analog and
microphone audio inputs, and RS-232 control making the DXP-62 the complete presentation
solution.

CONNECTION
System Diagram
Connection Procedure
1) Connect HDMI source devices (e.g. Blue-ray DVD) to HDMI input ports of the DXP-62 with HDMI
cable. Connect VGAsource device (e.g. PC) to VGAinput ports of the DXP-62 with VGA cable.
2) Connect the corresponding audio source to the corresponding AUDIO INPUT port of the DXP-62

User Guide
with audio cable one to one. The audio of HDMI can be embedded or external by sending right
command.
3) Connect HDMI display device to HDMI output port of the DXP-62 with HDMI cable.
4) Connect the HDMI twisted pair PoH receiver to HDBaseT output port of the scaler switcher with
twisted pair.
5) Connect speaker, headphone or specialized amplifier to AUDIO OUTPUT port of the DXP-62.
6) Connect control device (e.g. PC) to RS232 port of DXM-62 or the receiver (bi-directional RS232
control, either is available).
7) Both the DXP-62 and the receiver have IR IN and OUT. When one model is used for IR signal
receiver, the IR signal must be sent out by the other model. For example: When “IR IN” of the
DXM-62 connects with an IR receiver, the IR transmitter must connect to IR OUT of the receiver.
The IR signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between the DXP-62 and the receiver.
8) Select MIC level and connect right microphone to MIC input port. MIC audio will be transmitted to
AUDIO OUTPUT port and mixed with source audio.
9) Connect DC12V power adaptor to the power port (the receiver is able to get power from the
DXP-62).
Connection of Microphone
The DXP-62 provides with one 3-position microphone input, to accommodate different microphone input
modes, including 48V phantom power mode, MIC mode & LINE mode.
48V Phantom Power Input
When switch to “48V” (It has a good frequency characteristic, high input impedance and high sensitivity
in this mode), the MIC input will provide a 48V phantom power. This is only used for condenser
microphone.
Connection is: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and “ ” to ground.
MIC input

User Guide
When switch to “MIC” (It has a low frequency characteristics, and wide frequency response in this
mode), the microphone input is used for connecting with dynamic microphone. There are two
different connections:
1) Unbalanced connection:
“+” and “” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
“-” and “” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.
2) Balanced connection: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative and “ ” connects to
ground.
LINE input
When switch to “LINE” (It has a low frequency characteristics, and wide frequency response in this
mode), the microphone input is used for connecting with line audio or wireless microphone output.
There are two different connections:
1. Unbalanced connection:
“+” and “” connect to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
“-” and “” connect to ground, and “+” connects to signal.

Application
Rolling Cart / Credenza / Podium Application
This highly integrated technology when used with the DXE-CAT-RX3C-A allows a rolling cart or podium to
use a single CAT 5e/6 cable as the umbilical to the wall plate. The DXP-62 mounts inside the structure
along with the computer, document camera, Blu-ray player, auxiliary input panel, etc. These devices will
plug into the DXP-62 video and audio inputs accordingly. The HDMI output of the DXP-62 can be used on
the cart’s local monitor while the HDBaseT CAT is connected to the RJ-45 jack on the back of the cart or
podium. A standard CAT 5e cable will connect the cart or podium to the wall plate which will pass the
signal to the projector’s location.At the projector the DXE-CAT-RX3C-A will receive the signal and split out
the HDMI and RS-232 control. Since the DXE-CAT-RX3C-A has an amplifier integrated, it can be easily
used with theAurora SKR-22T 25 watt flat ceiling tile speaker capable of 180 degree sound. For remote
motorized screen control the DXE-CAT-RX3C-A has 2 relays to allow up/down functionality. The built in IP
control allows the operator to automate the system locally or remotely via web pages. Thousands of rooms
can be controlled from any device with a web browser like a PC, iPad®, iPhone®. Android®, etc.

Auto-switching Function:
♦New input
Once detecting a new input signal, the DXP-62 would switch to this new signal automatically.
♦Power rebooting
The DXP-62 offers the function to remember the signal last displayed when rebooting. Once
rebooting, it will automatically enter in auto-switching mode, and then detect all inputs and
memorize their connection status for future rebooting using. And if the signal last displayed is
still available, then it will choose the signal to output. If not, there will be no signal on outputs.
♦Signal removing
Once removing the current display signal, the DXP-62 will detect all input signals with priority
from INPUT 1 to INPUT 5. It will transfer the signal firstly detected to be available to outputs.
Note:Auto-switching function works only when input with new signal, remove a signal or
power rebooting. With any VGAport set toAV or YPbPr, the system will be not able to enter in
Auto-switching mode.
Operation Examples:
♦Connect the INPUT 2, INPUT 4, and INPUT 5 ports to the source devices, select INPUT 4 to
outputs.
♦Press and hold on the front key SOURCE for 7 seconds or more to enter in auto-switching
mode.
♦No signal removing or new input, the DXP-62 just works in auto-switching mode, and will take no
action (Output from INPUT 4)
♦Connect INPUT 3 with a source device, and then it will choose INPUT 3 to output.
♦Remove the signal of INPUT 3, the DXP-62 will detect from INPUT 1 to INPUT 5. When it
detects that input 2 is available, it will choose INPUT 2 to output.
♦Cut off the power of the DXP-62, then reboot. With the DXP-62 is in auto-switching mode, it will
choose INPUT 2 to output.
