Extron electronic manual VSW I AAP connection, 10 SW8/12 VGA Ars Installation and Operation

Connect a host computer to the switcher’s RS-232 control port.

Open a hyperterminal session on the host computer, and use a Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) command to configure the switcher to operate with a VSW I AAP (see chapter 3, “Operation and Control”).

Connect a VGA cable from the VSW I AAP’s output connector (on the rear of the unit) to one of the switcher’s input ports.

VSW I AAP connection

The VSW I AAP (part #70-529-11,-21,-51) is an optional Architectural Adapter Plate

that provides remote input connection and selection for some Extron switchers.

The VSW I AAP can be connected to the SW8/12 VGA Ars input ports for input selection control.

The VSW I AAP is equipped with a “Show Me” button for input selection, a female 15-pin HD VGA connector, and a 3.5 mm stereo audio jack.

When the “Show Me” button is pressed, pin 5 on the switcher’s 15-pin HD input is momentarily shorted to ground. This overrides the switcher’s current input selection, and directs video and audio from the VSW I AAP’s connected device to the switcher’s output ports.

For the VSW I AAP to operate with a switcher, the VSW I AAP PCB jumper must be set properly, and the switcher must be configured via its RS-232 control port.

The VSW I AAP can be mounted into any Extron mounting frame with a single space AAP opening.

The illustration on the following page shows a typical SW8 VGA Ars switcher application with four VSW I AAP units connected to the switcher’s input ports.

To use a VSW I AAP with a switcher:

1. Confirm that jumper J5 is removed and jumper J6 is in place on the VSW I AAP’s printed circuit board.
