OVERVIEW

Key Features
* EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices
* Supports DisplayPort data rates up to 10.8 Gbps
* Supports PC resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz and HDTV 1080p/60
* HDCP compliant
* Automatic input cable equalization to 25 feet (7 meters) when used with Extron DisplayPort cables

DESCRIPTION

The Extron SW2 DP is a two input, one output DisplayPort switcher. The SW2 DP is HDCP compliant and supports data rates up to 10.8 Gbps and computer resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. It features EDID Minder®, which maintains continuous EDID communication with connected devices and ensures that the DisplayPort sources power up properly and maintain correct video output. The SW2 DP provides automatic input cable equalization up to 25 feet (7 meters) on Extron DisplayPort cable. Multiple control points, including front panel, RS-232, and auto-input switching, simplify integration into a variety of system designs. The SW2 DP switcher is ideal for applications that require the routing of two DisplayPort sources to a single display.

To enhance and streamline integration, the SW2 DP offers integrator-friendly features, including automatic input cable equalization, and indicators for monitoring and troubleshooting. Automatic input cable equalization restores and reshapes incoming signals, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning equipment by compensating for weak source signals or signal loss from a long input cable. Additionally, the SW2 DP provides immediate visual confirmation of EDID status, HDCP authentication, and signal presence for each port via LED indicators.

Housed in a 1U, half rack width metal enclosure, the SW2 DP can be mounted in a rack or installed beneath a desk. It includes an external, universal power supply for worldwide power compatibility.

Features
* Switches DisplayPort video and embedded multi-channel digital audio signals
* Inputs: Two female DisplayPort connectors
* Output: One female DisplayPort connector
* EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.
* Supports DisplayPort data rates up to 10.8 Gbps
* Supports PC resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz and HDTV 1080p/60
* HDCP compliant — Ensures display of content-protected media and interoperability with other HDCP-compliant devices.
* User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows individual inputs to appear HDCP compliant or non‑HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non‑HDCP mode.
* Automatic input cable equalization to 25 feet (7 meters) when used with Extron DisplayPort cables — Actively conditions incoming DisplayPort signals to compensate for signal loss when using long cables, low quality cables, or a source device with poor signal output.
* EDID status, HDCP authentication, and signal presence LED indicators — Front-panel LED indicators for signal presence and HDCP authentication provide real-time feedback and monitoring of key performance parameters. The tri-color EDID LED indicator on the back panel notifies whether an internal or external EDID is stored.
* Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure environments. In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to operate the switcher from the front panel.
* Multiple control points including front panel, RS-232, and auto-input switching — Offers integration flexibility into a variety of control environments.
* Rack-mountable, 1U half rack width metal enclosure
* Highly reliable, energy-efficient external universal power supply included, replacement part #70-775-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility, with high demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating costs.
