SW2 HD 4K and SW4 HD 4K • Setup Guide
The Extron SW2 and SW4 HD 4K are two and four input HDMI switchers for 4K video signals. They switch
4K signal between multiple HDMI source devices to a single display. The switchers support computer and
video resolutions up to 4K and 1080p/60 with Deep Color, as well as data rates up to 10.2 Gbps, 3D, Lip
Sync, and HD lossless audio formats. Both models feature EDID Minder®, which maintains continuous EDID
communication with connected devices and ensures that the HDMI sources power up properly and maintain
correct video output. The switchers provide automatic input cable equalization up to 25 feet (7.6 meters)
with a 300 MHz signal (100 feet with 165 MHz). The SW2 and SW4 HD 4K offers front panel USB and rear
panel RS‑232, IR, contact closure, and auto‑input switching control options for integration into various
environments. This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate these
switchers.
For full installation, conguration, and operation details, see the SW HD 4K Series User Guide, available at
www.extron.com.

Installation Steps
1. Turn off all of the equipment and disconnect their power source.
2. Mount the switcher on a rack shelf or furniture (optional).
3. Connect HDMI input sources to one or more of the SW HD 4K input connectors (see gures 1 and 2,
B).
NOTE: LockIt®cable lacing brackets, one for each HDMI input and output connector, are provided with the
SW HD 4K. These brackets can be used to secure the HDMI cables to the rear panel connectors to reduce
stress on the HDMI connectors and prevent signal loss due to loose cable connections. For information
on attaching the LockIt brackets, see the LockIt HDMI Lacing Bracket Installation Guide, available at
www.extron.com.

4. Connect an HDMI output device to the output
connector (C). By default, the EDID of this device is stored
at the HDMI output.
5. Connect control devices.Connect your computer to
one of the following SW HD 4K communication ports to
congure and control the switcher via SIS commands:
• RS-232 port — Connect the unterminated transmit,
receive, and ground wires of the RS‑232 cable to the
provided 3‑pole captive screw plug, as shown in the
illustration at right. Connect the plug to the rear panel
RS‑232 connector (see gures 1 and 2, F, on the
previous page), and the other end of the cable to your
computer serial port. Protocol for the RS‑232 port is
9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
• Config port — Connect a USB mini‑B cable to the front panel USB connector (see gures 4 and
5, C, on the next page) for USB control.
6. Enable auto-input switching (optional). To enable auto‑input switching, use a jumper wire to
connect the pins of the 2‑pole captive screw plug (see the diagram to the right). Attach the plug to
the remote Auto switch connector (see gures 1 and 2, F).
7. Connect a contact closure device (optional). Connect a push‑button contact closure device to a
Contact connector (see gures 1 and 2, D, on the previous page) to enable input switching via contact closure.
a. Wire and plug one of the provided 3‑pole connectors into a Contact In/Tally Out connector representing the
desired input number on the SW HD 4K (1 or 2 for SW2 models, 1, 2, 3, or 4 for SW4 models).
• Pin 1 = Contact closure input (C)
• Pin 2 = Contact and Tally Ground (G)
• Pin 3 = Tally output (T)
b. Insert the ground wire of the contact device into the Ground slot of the Contact/Tally connector (pin 2).
c. Press the button on the contact closure device to switch the connected input to the output.
8. Connect an indicator device to the Tally Out port (optional). To identify the currently selected input when
the front panel buttons are not visible, connect a device such as an LED to the Contact In/Tally Out connector
(see gures 1 and 2, D,on the previous page) and +V port (see gures 1 and 2, Eon the previous page).
When the input you are using is selected, the corresponding tally out pin shorts to ground, which activates the
connected indicator.
a. Wire and plug one of the provided 3‑pole connectors into a Contact In/Tally Out connector.
• Pin 1 = Contact closure input (C)
• Pin 2 = Contact and Tally Ground (G)
• Pin 3 = Tally output (T)
b. Insert the power wire for the contact indicator device into the +V port.
TIP: The Contact and Tally connectors can be used with Extron “Show Me”
cables. For each cable, connect the red pigtail to the associated pin of the
Contact Closure input connector and the black pigtail to the associated pin
on the Tally Out connector (see the diagram at right).

AAuto switch LED — Lights when auto‑input switching is in effect (see step 6 on page 2 for more
information).
BIR receiver port — Detects infrared signals from the optional IR 102 remote control at a distance of up
to 30 feet (9.1 meters) and within 40 degrees off the axis (see the SW HD 4K Series User Guide for more
information).
CUSB config port — Connect a USB cable (USB A to mini‑B) between your computer and this female USB
mini‑B port to congure and control the switcher via SIS commands or the Extron Product Conguration
Software (PCS) and to update the rmware (see the SW HD 4K Series User Guide for more information).
DInput selection buttons — Press one of these buttons to select an input to switch to the output. The LED at
the right of each button lights when the corresponding input is selected. If auto‑input switching is in effect,
these buttons are disabled, but the LEDs continue to light to indicate the selected input. The input buttons
are also used to initiate a system reset and to enable and disable front panel lockout (see the SW HD 4K
Series User Guide for more information).
EInput and Output LEDs
• Input — Lights when a source is connected to the corresponding input connector and TMDS clock
activity is detected.
• Output — Lights when an active sink (output) device is connected to the HDMI output.
FHDCP LEDs
• Input — Lights if the connected sources are HDCP encrypted and has been authenticated by the
switcher inputs.
NOTE: If the source device connected to the selected input is HDCP encrypted (requires HDCP
authentication), the corresponding signal LED may not light unless HDCP has been authenticated.
• Output — Lights when the currently selected input requires HDCP and the connected output device has
been successfully authenticated.
NOTE: HDCP is re‑authenticated on the output whenever a new input is selected.
