NOTE: LockIt® cable lacing brackets, one for each HDMI input and output connector, are provided with the DXP HDMI. These brackets can be used to secure the HDMI cables to the DXP 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 card, available on the Extron website at www.extron.com.

COutput connectors

DVI and DVI Pro series: Connect DVI output devices to these female 29-pin DVI-I output connectors.

HDMI series: Connect HDMI output devices to these female 19-pin type A HDMI output connectors.

NOTE: The switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal that is output by the switcher is in the same format as the input signal.

D Ethernet port — If desired, connect the DXP switcher to a computer or

ETHERNET

 

ACTLINK

to an Ethernet LAN via this RJ-45 connector. You can use a computer

 

 

 

to control the networked switcher with SIS commands from a remote location. You can also control the switcher from a PC that is either running

the Matrix Switchers Control Program or via the HTML pages that are pre-loaded on the switcher (see “Ethernet Connection” on the next page).

Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate the status of the Ethernet connection. The green Link LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily. The amber Act (Activity) LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.

EReset/Power LED — This green LED remains lit while the DXP has power. It also blinks the appropriate number of times when the unit is being reset, indicating the level (mode) of reset that has been performed.

FReset button — This recessed button initiates four levels (modes) of reset on the DXP switcher. To initiate the different reset levels, use a pointed object such as a small Philips screwdriver or a stylus to press and hold the button while the switcher is running or while it is being powered up (see “Resetting” on page 40 for more information).

GRemote RS232/RS422 connector — Connect a host device, such as a computer, touch panel control, or RS-232 capable PDA to the switcher via this 9-pin D connector for serial RS-232 and RS-422 control (see RS-232 and RS-422 Remote Connections” on page 11).
