MPS 601 • Setup Guide
This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced technician to install, set up, and operate the Extron Media Presentation
Switcher, MPS 601. Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only. For additional information and
specications, see the MPS 601 product page at www.extron.com.
Step 1 — Mount the MPS 601
The MPS 601 is housed in a half rack width, 6 inch deep, 1U high metal enclosure that can sit on a table with the provided rubber
feet or can be rack mounted. Select a suitable mounting location, then choose an appropriate mounting option.

Connect Inputs
1. RGBHV video inputs — Connect analog video sources to the HD connectors (see gure 1, B). The connectors accept VGA
signals.
NOTE: The MPS 601 digitizes the RGBHV inputs. It does not scale or convert video to a different resolution. The output
signal resolution is the same as the input resolution.
2. Analog audio inputs — By default, audio input A is tied to RGBHV input 1 and audio input B is tied to RGBHV input 2 (C).
Analog audio is digitized for HDMI output.
3. HDMI video inputs — Connect digital HDMI sources to these inputs using standard HDMI cables (D).
Connect Output
HDMI video output — Connect an HDMI display device using a standard HDMI cable (E).

Connect Control Devices
NOTE: Do not tin the leads. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.
• Contact In/Tally Out —When a connected contact is grounded, the corresponding input is selected (see figure 1, Fon the
previous page). At the same time, the tally output closes causing the Show Me cable LED indicator to light.
NOTE:
• For “Show Me” cables, the ground pin is optional.
• Do not connect “Show Me” cables to the +V pin of the +V Port (see below).
The six contacts are mutually exclusive so that only one input can be selected at a time.
• Contact (C) – Momentary closure of this pin to ground selects the corresponding

opening.
• Ground (G) – Ground pin.
• Tally output (C) – Controls the LEDs on the contact closure push button. When an input
is selected, the tally LED for that input is active.
• +V Port — All three pins constantly output +5 VDC, 200 mA total (shared between pins).

ATTENTION:
• Always use a power supply provided by or specied by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all
regulatory compliance certication and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron. L’utilisation d’une source
d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi
que le produit nal.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The
power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location,
Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.
• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs AC/DC ne sont pas appropriés pour une utilisation dans les espaces d’aération
ou dans les cavités murales. La source d’alimentation doit être située à proximité de l’équipement de traitement
audiovisuel dans un endroit ordinaire, avec un degré2 de pollution, xé à un équipement de rack à l’intérieur d’un
placard, d’une estrade, ou d’un bureau.

ATTENTION:
•The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently xed to
building structure or similar structure.
•Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique au National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical Code, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être
xée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.
•This product is intended for use with a UL Listed power source marked Class 2 or LPS and rated 12VDC, minimum
0.5 A.
•Ce produit est destiné à une utilisation avec une source d’alimentation certifiée UL de classe 2 ou LPS et calibrée à 12
Vcc, 0,5 A minimum.
Configuring the MPS 601
The MPS 601 can be congured using a connected PC and the Extron Product Conguration Software or using SIS commands.
To congure the MPS 601 using the Product Conguration Software, install the software (available on the Extron website, www.
extron.com) on a PC connected to the MPS 601 by the rear panel remote (RS-232) port (see gure 1, h), or front panel USB
Cong port (see gure 6, b). After the installation, start the program. See the MPS 601 User Guide and the Product Conguration
Software Help File for additional information.
To congure the MPS 601 using SIS commands, see the MPS 601 User Guide.

DInput signal LEDs. Six green LEDs indicate:
•The LEDs for RGBHV inputs 1 and 2 light when horizontal sync is detected on the input.
•The LEDs for HDMI inputs 3 to 6 light when TMDS clock activity is detected on the input.
NOTE: If a connected HDMI source is HDCP encrypted, the associated input signal LED does not light until HDCP is
authenticated.
EOutput signal LED. This LED lights when the HDMI output is connected to a display or sink device.
FHDCP input signal LEDs (inputs 3, 4, 5, and 6). These LEDs light for the associated HDMI input when the connected source is
HDCP encrypted.
GHDCP output LED. This LED lights when the currently selected input source requires HDCP and the connected output device
(sink) is authenticated.
The MPS 601 can be connected to as many as six input devices. Any of the six inputs (2 RGBHV, 4 HDMI) can be routed to the
HDMI output.
