System 5 IP Series

Five Input A/V Switchers with IP Link® Ethernet Control

Common Features

•Video inputs: two inputs configurable for composite video, S-video, or RGBHV on female BNC connectors; two inputs configurable for composite video or S-video on female BNC and 4-pin mini DIN connectors; RGBHV on front panel female 15-pin HD connector

•Audio inputs: balanced/unbalanced audio on captive screw connectors; stereo audio on front panel female 3.5 mm stereo mini jack

•Video outputs: RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, S-video, and composite video on female BNC connectors

•Audio outputs: balanced/unbalanced audio on captive screw connectors; amplified stereo audio on insulated screw terminals

•350 MHz (-3 dB) RGB video bandwidth — Maintains signal integrity.

•Universal display control via RS-232 or IR — Provides compatibility with virtually any controllable display device.

•Four IR/Serial control ports

•Digital Input Monitoring Port

•Pre-configured drivers

•Six configurable relays for room control — The System 5 IP is equipped with six internal relays to control lighting, screen settings, and other device functions. The relays may be controlled through the front panel, IR 402 remote, SCP control panel, or RS-232.

•Remote IR learning capabilities for DVD, VCR, and projector control — The System 5 IP is capable of performing IR learning which enables it to control various source devices when using optional IRCMs Infrared Control Modules such as the IRCM-DV+.

•RS-232 serial control port — Using serial commands, the System 5 IP can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows®-based control program, or integrated into third- party control systems. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

•Supports all IR and RS-232 preconfigured IP Link drivers

•IP Link® Ethernet monitoring and control — An IP integration technology developed by Extron specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments that enables the System 5 IP to be controlled and proactively monitored over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet.

•7.25 MB flash memory — The System 5 IP's built-in Web server features 7.25 MB of flash memory for storing the GlobalViewer® management application and any user customized Web pages.

•Remote control capabilities with optional IR 402 remote and SCP 104 and SCP 226 Secondary Control Panels

•1U, full rack width metal enclosure — The System 5 IP can be easily mounted into any rack or podium with included mounting brackets.

•Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.

DESCRIPTION

The Extron System 5 IP is a five input, one output integrated A/V active switcher that provides an all-in-one, affordable solution for single projector A/V installations in classrooms, boardrooms, conference rooms, and multimedia environments. It includes such features as configurable inputs, easy-to-use IR learning, customized display control via RS-232, relays for room control, an integrated 40-watt, rms, audio amplifier, and IP Link® Ethernet monitoring and control.

Universal Projector Control

The System 5 IP offers two methods of projector control: RS-232 or IR. The switcher can learn IR signals from remote controls. This enables the switcher to communicate with the display and sources such as VCRs and DVD players. IR learning makes setup and operation simple and customizable. Virtually any RS-232 controllable projector or display device can be used with the System 5 IP. Extron creates and administers a wide selection of commonly used projector control drivers that enable the System 5 IP to control basic projector functions such as power and input selection. Users can create their own drivers or go to the Extron Web site to download RS-232 drivers configured for the latest and most popular projectors. In addition, a custom configuration mode is available to allow for user-defined IR or RS-232 commands.

Room Control

The System 5 IP also offers room control capability, so room lighting, screen settings, and other device functions may be controlled through the switcher's six internal relays. In addition, a digital input monitoring port is provided, allowing for enhanced monitoring via sensors and switches, or streamlined automation of triggering events, or other functions. By providing projector control, room control, universal compatibility with displays, and system audio capabilities, the System 5 IP consolidates functions that would typically require up to six different products into one integrated solution.

Fixed and Variable Preamp Line Level Outputs

The System 5 IP provides fixed and variable line level audio outputs on captive screw connectors for use with an external amplifier or self-powered speakers. Fixed audio outputs are especially effective when used with external mixers, amplifiers, and assistive listening devices. Variable audio outputs enable the audio signal levels to be adjusted using the switcher's volume control.

•Fixed and variable preamp line level audio outputs

•Stereo or dual mono audio output - selectable

•Triple-Action Switching™ for RGB delay — Blanks the screen during switching of RGB signals to eliminate visible switching transitions.

•Integrated inactivity timer turns off projector after user-defined time

•Tri-colored, backlit buttons

•Optional CFG configuration cable available for loading drivers, configuring audio input levels, and video selection type

Integrated Stereo Audio Amplifier

The System 5 IP is available with or without an internal 40-watt audio amplifier, 2 x 20 watts rms, to drive 4 or 8 ohm speakers. The unit can also be set for dual mono mode where it sums the left and right input signals together and drives the same mono signal to both the left and right outputs.

IP Link® Ethernet Control

The System 5 IP is equipped with Extron's IP Link®, an IP integration technology specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments — from small K-12 classrooms to large universities and businesses. IP Link provides these advantages:
