HD CTL 100 Workspace Controller • Setup Guide
The Extron HD CTL 100 is a compact workspace controller designed for automatic display control in small meeting rooms and
huddle spaces. It features an HDMI pass-through port that detects signal presence and can facilitate automatic display power.
When an active signal is connected to the HDMI input, the HD CTL 100 automatically turns on the display via CEC control. When
no signal is detected, the HD CTL 100 powers off the display after a predetermined period. For further exibility, integration with
Extron OCS 100 occupancy sensors can enable the controller to power the display on when users enter the room. Control of the
display is provided via one-way RS-232, IR, or Consumer Electronics Control (CEC).
NOTE: For more details about installation, conguration, and operation, see the HD CTL 100 User Guide, available at
www.extron.com.

5. Connect devices to the rear panel INPUT, OUTPUT, IR/S, DIGITAL I/O, and +V OUT ports as needed.
• IR/S control port — This port (see figure 1, F, on the previous page) provides unidirectional communication to control
a projector or a display via RS-232 or IR. The S (signal) and G (ground) pins of the 2-pole captive screw IR/S connector
comprise the IR/serial port.
NOTE: The HD CTL 100 can be configured to send CEC, unidirectional RS-232, and IR commands, using the
Extron HD CTL 100 Configuration Program (see Downloading and Installing the HD CTL 100 Configuration
Program on page 3, and the HD CTL 100 Configuration Program Help File for more information).
• For RS-232 control — Connect the S (signal) and G
(ground) pins of the IR/S connector to the RS-232 port
of a display device or switcher (see the illustration at
right).
See the communication sheets for your device drivers
for information on compatible baud rates and cabling
type and distance. These communication sheets are
accessed via the HD CTL 100 conguration program
and also at www.extron.com (see the HD CTL 100
User Guide or the conguration program help le to
view the communication sheets and download the
drivers).
• For IR control — Connect one or two single IR
emitters or one dual IR emitter to the S and G pins of the IR/S connector (F), with a maximum of 50 feet (15 m) from
port to emitter. The port provides unidirectional IR signal output to control a display, projector, switcher, or other device.
Figure 2 shows a single IR emitter connected to the IR/S port of an HD CTL 100.

• Digital I/O connectors — This 6-pole captive screw connector provides four digital input or output ports (plus
two ground pins) to which you can connect sensors, switches, or contact closure buttons (see figure 1, D, on the
previous page). Each port can be configured as a digital input, output, input with pull-up, or output with pull-up, via the
HD CTL 100 Configuration Program. The ports enable you to monitor connected devices and trigger functions on the
controller.
• Digital input — Use one or more of the Digital I/O ports to connect a sensor, such an occupancy sensor, or a
switch, such as a push-button device that can be congured to be triggered by a press or release of the button.
• Digital output — Use one or more of the Digital I/O ports as a digital output to control LEDs or other devices that
accept a transistor-to-transistor logic (TTL) signal. They can also provide contact closure control for projector lifts,
motorized screens, or room and light switches when attached to relay devices. Each port can sync up to 250 mA.
NOTE:
• If the digital output port is set with pull-up disabled, the voltage output is set by an external source.
• If the pull-up resistor is enabled, the voltage output is equal to approximately +4.6 V.
a. Connect a digital input or output device (such as a switch, relay device, or sensor) to pin 1, 2, 3, or 4 and
to a G (ground) pin on the Digital I/O connector (see figure 3 on the next page).
b. (Optional) If using an occupancy sensor or other device that requires + 24 V power and does not have a
power supply, wire its power connector to the HD CTL 100 rear panel +V OUT connector (see figure 1, E,
and the illustration at right). The maximum current for this connector is 50 mA.
