SW41AB-V2 USER MANUAL

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is used by the
source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display, from this information the source will discover
what the best audio and video resolutions need to be outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure, issues do arise
when multiple displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the sources and display device you can reduce the time needed for
EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of extender EDID settings can be achieved using the product dip-switches on the SW41AB-V2. EDID dip-switch
settings are shown below.
Note: You must power cycle the product aer making EDID changes. For some sources it may be necessary to power cycle the
source aer EDID changes have been made for the source to update its video & audio output settings.

RS-232 Control
The SW41AB-V2 switch can be controlled via a 9-pin serial cable.
See page 11 for the full list of control protocols.
Details of RS-232 pin assignment and communication are below. Please note that depending on your control device
serial port pin configuration you may require either a ‘Straight’ RS-232 cable or ‘Null-modem’ type.

Commonly used Serial commands
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:-
STATUS Status will give feedback on switch such as zones on, type of connection etc
PON Power on
POFF Power o
OUTFRyy (where ‘yy’ is the input)
Example:- OUTFR04 (This would switch the output to source input 4)
Common Mistakes
• Carriage return – some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent directly
aer the string. In the case of some Terminal soware the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depending
on the program you are using this token maybe dierent. Some other examples that other control systems deploy
include \r or 0D (in hex)
• Spaces – Blustream commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some
programs that require spacing in order to work.
- How the string should look is as follows OUTFR03
- How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}FR{Space}03
• Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct - see above
