The Contact and Tally connectors can also be used with Extron Show Me cables. The
diagram at right shows how to wire a Show Me cable to a contact input.
For each Show Me cable:
Connect the red pigtail to the C pin corresponding to the input being used.
•
Connect the black pigtail to the T pin of the same input.
•
NOTE: The ground or drain wire on the Show Me cable is not used here. You can tie
it back and shield it.

SW6 and SW8 HD 4K PLUS Front Panels
NOTE: The SW6 front panel is identical to that of the SW8 except that it has six input buttons, Signal LEDs, and
HDCP LEDs.
AUTO SWITCH LED — Lights when auto-input switching is in effect. When auto-input switching is enabled, the
A
switcher automatically switches to the highest-numbered input with an active video signal.
USB CONFIG port — Connect a USB cable (USB A to mini-B) between your computer and this female USB
B
mini-B port to configure and control the switcher via SIS commands or PCS, and to update the firmware.
SIGNAL LEDs — The LEDs labeled INPUTS each light when the corresponding input is connected to a device
C
that has power. The LED labeled OUTPUT lights when the output is connected to a device that has power.
HDCP LEDs
D
Input LEDs — Light if the connected sources are HDCP encrypted and have 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 LED — 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.
