Selecting an Input

To switch (tie) an input to the output, you have the following options:
•
•
See
Other ways to select an input include using SIS commands (see
page 23) and the PCS program (see the SW HD 4K PLUS Series PCS help file).
Connect all input and output devices to the rear panel connectors on the switcher (see
Rear Panel Features on page 5 for the rear panel connections).
Power on the display.
Power on the SW HD 4K PLUS. Plug the power supply into the 2-pole captive screw
power connector on the switcher rear panel (SW2 and SW4), or connect the AC power
connector to an AC power source (SW6 and SW8). During the boot process:
a. The unit performs a self-test, during which the front panel Auto Switch, Input,
Signal, and HDCP LEDs each blink once in sequence from left to right.
b. The Auto-Switch LED blinks for approximately 45 seconds. During this time, the
switcher reads the available EDID information from the connected output device
and writes it to memory on each input. When power is removed, these settings
remain in memory and are in effect when power is reapplied.
c. At the end of the boot process, the Auto-Switch LED turns off, and the LED for the
most recently selected input lights.
Power on the input devices.
Front panel buttons — Press the desired input button on the front panel (ensure
that auto-input switching is not enabled). The LED corresponding to the selected input
button lights.
• The appropriate front panel input LED lights to indicate the selected input. The LED
remains lit until a new input is selected.
• Only one input can be switched to the output at a time.
Contact closure — Plug one of the provided 3-pole captive screw connectors into the
rear panel Contact port. Wire either of the following to the port:
• Contact closure device — If a push-button contact closure device is attached
to the Contact port, press the button connected to the slot corresponding to the
desired input.
• Jumper wire — On the connector attached to a Contact In/Tally Out port,
momentarily short one of the Contact Closure pins (C) to the ground pin (G) using a
jumper wire. Input is switched immediately when the jumper contacts both pins.
NOTE: If an input pin is latched permanently to the ground pin, input
switching by any other method is disabled while those pins are connected.
