The MPS 602 is housed in a 1U, full rack width rack- or desk-mountable metal enclosure. The switcher can also be surface-mounted under a table, desk, or podium, or on a wall (see Mounting the Switcher on page 55 for additional mounting details). figure 2 Rear Panel Connections MPS 602 SA 100-240V 1.0A MAX RS-232 VARIABLE OUTPUTS...
DTP Input and Output NOTE: The MPS 602 can communicate with both DTP 230 and DTP 330 transmitters and receivers. When connected to a DTP 230 device, the connection is limited to the DTP 230 maximum distance (230 feet, 70 m).
Analog Audio Input Audio input group (see figure 2 on page 5) —Five 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors provide analog audio input to the switcher. Inputs 1-5 accept either balanced or unbalanced audio. The audio level of each input is adjusted using the configuration software or using the front panel (see Audio Gain and Attenuation Adjustments...
Mute HDMI Audio and Phantom Power (see figure 2 on page 5) — Two 2-position DIP switches. The MUTE HDMI AUDIO switch (see figure 6) mutes the HDMI embedded audio on both the HDMI output and the DTP output when the switch is in the UP position. If your microphone requires phantom power, the PHANTOM POWER switch selects +48 V phantom power for the mic input when in the UP position.

Twisted Pair Recommendations Supported Cables The MPS 602 is compatible with CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable. ATTENTION: • Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201 cable to link the XTP products or with DTP transmitters or receivers.
LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket LockIt lacing brackets are provided to secure the HDMI cables to the rear panel connectors as shown in figure 11, below. The configuration of the HDMI connectors and supporting fasteners on the MPS 602 rear panel require using a top mount installation for HDMI input 3 and a single or stacked side mount installation for HDMI inputs 4 and 5.
The MPS switcher can be connected to as many as six input devices. It can output to one of two outputs (HDMI or DTP). Follow the steps below and the installation example (see MPS 602 Application Diagram on page 4). Turn off power to the MPS switcher and all devices that are connected to it.
Operation This section discusses how to connect, configure, and operate the MPS 602. Topics include: • Front Panel Operation • Microphone Controls Front Panel Security Lockout (Executive Mode) EDID Minder • • • HDMI/DTP Embedded Audio Output • HDCP Program Audio • figure 12 Front Panel Operation A B C...
HDMI (digital input group) — HDMI input buttons 3, 4, and 5 select the source for the HDMI or DTP output (see figure 2, and on page 5) and the corresponding audio switcher section. The Indicators to the right of each button (when lit) indicate the selected input.
Program Audio Level Indicator (see figure 13 on page 14) — Stacked LEDs indicate the program audio volume level. All segments unlit indicate no (0) volume. As volume increases, the segments illuminate incrementally from the bottom and stay lit as illustrated in the table below. As volume decreases, the Indicators go out in the reverse order.
To toggle through the Executive modes: Press and hold the RGB input 1 button (see figure 14, ) for more than 3 seconds. Press and release the digital inputs input 1 button ( ). Each press toggles to the next Executive mode as follows: If Executive mode is not active (Exec Mode indicator off, ), the switcher toggles to Executive mode 1, the Mic Mute indicator flashes three times ( ), and the...
Program Audio Breakaway Program audio breakaway allows routing of the audio signal from any input to the program audio output independently from the input video selection. It is available by software control only (see Program audio breakaway on page 51 for SIS commands and see Breakaway Analog Audio check box (Analog Inputs 1 and 2) on page 35 for PCS control).
Audio Gain and Attenuation Adjustments Front Panel LEDs Each audio input level (analog inputs 1 through 5 only) is adjusted from the front panel over a range of -18 dB to +24 dB. The adjustments normalize the input audio levels so that output volume is consistent for all inputs.
Microphone Controls Mic Volume and Mute Mic volume and mute are controlled from the front panel (see figure 15). The mic MUTE button ( ) toggles the mic input on and off. The corresponding red Indicator ( ) lights when mic volume is muted. When the mic input is unmuted, it is mixed with the program audio output at a level set by the mic volume rotary encoder ( ).
EDID Minder The digital and analog groups feature EDID Minder, ensuring that each input source reads the EDID of the output display even when the input is not selected. The result is the video source powers up properly and reliably outputs content when selected. The EDID remains in the selected mode (automatic or user assigned) even after loss of power.

Remote Communication and Control This section discusses SIS programming and control of the MPS 602 including: Connection Options • • Host-to-MPS Communications Using the Command and Response Table • • Command and Response Table for SIS Commands Connection Options The MPS 602 can be remotely connected via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 port or the front panel USB Config port.
Front Panel Configuration Port figure 12 The mini type B USB port is located on the front panel (see on page 13). It connects to a host computer for configuration using SIS commands with DataViewer. To connect the MPS 602 to a host computer: NOTE: If an Extron USB device has never been connected to the host computer, prior to connecting the MPS 602 Config (USB) port for the first time, you must install and activate the USB driver.
When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. Copyright Information (c) Copyright 20 nn, Extron Electronics, MPS 602 SA, V 60-1314-51 ] x.xx stat42*0•0•0 ]...
