Inputs and Outputs. Using the graphic above, connect the source devices to the ports labeled
“Connect Source Devices Here”, and the display at locaon, “Display Output”.
Stereo Audio Input. Connect the 3.5mm stereo jack from an iPhone/iPad or wireless
microphone system (line level) to the SW1900-HD. The audio from this connector is
automacally mixed and sent to the HDMI device and stereo output. Trim, gain, and mix
adjustments are available through the RS-232 interface.
Stereo Audio Output. If external speakers are required, connect the RCA jacks from the
SW1900-HD to your amplier or powered speakers. Audio on the RCA jacks are always acve.
Volume and mix levels are available through the RS-232 interface.

RS-232 Communicaon Interface. The SW1900-HD uses a serial interface (RS-232) to change
aributes and behavior of the SW1900-HD. Parameters are as follows: 115200 baud, 8 bit, no
parity, and 1 stop bit. The baud rate is adjustable. Pins 2 (Rx), 3 (Tx), and 5 (GND) are used. See
the SW1900-HD Programming Guide for available commands.
Power. Connect the DC power supply to the locaon “DC/5V”. The Power Indicator LED will
illuminate above of the DC/5V locaon to indicate that power is being received.
Auto-Sense, Auto-SwitchingAuto-Sense, Auto-Switching
Auto-sense, automac switching (ASW) is a very powerful feature of the SW1900-HD but should
be explained to gain the best understanding of how it can be ulized. ASW is enabled by default
but can be disabled using the RS-232 interface.
The SW1900-HD is very sensive. When one connects a device to one of the 5 HDMI input
ports, the SW1900-HD responds immediately by roung the video from that device to the
display. If the color space is dierent than the display, the color space is automacally converted
internally to ensure the highest quality image is displayed at the highest resoluon praccable.
If another person connects her computer or iPad to an HDMI input port that person’s device will
appear. The last to connect will always appear on the display.
Should a device that is acvely displayed be disconnected, the SW1900-HD begins searching
from input 1 through input 5 for the next available input. Once an acve signal is found the
image from that device will appear on the display. Therefore, consider having the home room
computer on input 1 and any ancillary or guest connecons on inputs 2 through 5.
Automatic Display On/O󰀨Automatic Display On/O󰀨
Automac display on/o (CEC) is another very powerful feature of the SW1900-HD and should
also be explained to gain the best understanding of how it can be ulized. CEC is enabled by
default but can be disabled using the RS-232 interface.
CEC must be enabled on the display itself for this feature to work with the SW1900-HD.
Trade names for CEC are Anynet+ (Samsung), Aquos Link (Sharp), BRAVIA Link and BRAVIA
Sync (Sony), HDMI-CEC (Hitachi), E-link (AOC), Kuro Link (Pioneer), INlink (Insignia), CE-Link
and Regza Link (Toshiba), RIHD (Remote Interacve over HDMI) (Onkyo), RuncoLink (Runco
Internaonal), SimpLink (LG), T-Link (ITT), HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync, VIERA Link (Panasonic),
EasyLink (Philips), and NetCommand for HDMI (Mitsubishi).
If one connects to the SW1900-HD the SW1900-HD will turn the display on. When the last
person disconnects, the SW1900-HD will wait 30 seconds of inacvity then turn o the display.
In many cases, this feature eliminates the need for remotes, extends display life, and saves on
power. This feature also simplies conference rooms and huddle spaces making them more
usable.
