DESCRIPTION
The Extron SW HD 4K PLUS two and four input switchers support 4K/60 with 4:4:4 color sampling. They are designed for video signal switching between multiple HDMI sources to a single display. The switchers are HDCP compliant, and support data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR, 12-bit Deep Color, 3D, Lip Sync, HD lossless audio formats, and CEC pass-through. Both models feature EDID Minder®, which maintains continuous EDID communication with connected devices and ensures that the HDMI sources power up properly and maintain correct video output. The switchers provide automatic input cable equalization up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) on Extron HDMI Pro Series cable. The SW HD 4K PLUS is easy to operate using the front panel controls or auto-switching. Ethernet, RS-232, and contact closure ports provide ample options for integration with any control system.
To enhance and simplify integration, the SW HD 4K PLUS provides integrator-friendly features, including automatic input cable equalization, automatic color bit depth management, indicators for monitoring and troubleshooting, as well as peripheral device power on the output. Automatic input cable equalization corrects for signal loss due to lengthy input cables, ensuring signal integrity up to 25 feet (7.6 meters), when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cable. The SW HD 4K PLUS automatically adjusts color bit depth based on the display EDID, preventing color compatibility conflicts between source and display. Front panel LED indicators provide immediate visual confirmation of HDCP authentication and signal presence for each input and output. If HDCP‑encrypted content is transmitted to a non‑compliant display, a full‑screen green signal provides immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on that display. The SW HD 4K PLUS also provides +5 VDC, 250 mA on the HDMI output for powering peripheral devices such as an Extron HD 4K 101 Plus cable equalizer.
The SW HD 4K PLUS is housed in 1U, half rack width enclosure suitable for mounting in a rack or under a table.
Features
* Switches HDMI video and embedded multi channel digital audio
* Inputs: Two or four female HDMI type A connectors
* Output: 1 female HDMI type A connector
* Supports computer and video resolutions up to 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 — Resolutions up to 4096x2160/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling at 8 bits of color.
* HDCP 2.2 compliant — Ensures display of content-protected 4K video media and maintains interoperability with earlier versions of HDCP.
* Supported HDMI 2.0b specification features include data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR, Deep Color up to 12 bit, 3D, HD lossless audio formats, and CEC pass-through
* Support for HDR – High Dynamic Range video — These products provide the video bandwidth, color depth, and metadata interchange capability required to support HDR video signals. HDR provides a greater contrast range and wider color gamut.
* Ethernet monitoring and control — Enables control and proactive monitoring over a LAN or WAN.
* EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.
* Automatic input cable equalization to 25 feet (7.6 meters) when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cable — Actively conditions incoming HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss when using long HDMI cables, low quality HDMI cables, and source devices with poor HDMI signal output.
* 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.
* HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content is sent to a non-compliant display — A full screen green signal is sent when HDCP encrypted content is transmitted to a non HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
* HDCP authentication and signal presence LED indicators
* Automatic color bit depth management — The switcher automatically adjusts color bit depth based on the display EDID, preventing color compatibility conflicts between source and display.
* HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically reformats HDMI source signals for output to a connected DVI display.
* Compatible with TeamWork Show Me Cables — Show Me cables provide convenient connectivity and user input selection and control for TeamWork Collaboration Systems. Visit the TeamWork System Builder to create a customized system for your collaboration environment.
* Provides +5 VDC, 250 mA power on the output for external peripheral devices
* Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure environments. All functions remain available through Ethernet, RS-232, and USB when lockout mode is active.
* Easy setup and commissioning with Extron’s PCS – Product Configuration Software — Conveniently configure multiple products using a single software application.
* Front panel USB configuration port — Provides convenient access for information and firmware updates.
* Multiple control options including front panel, Ethernet, RS-232, contact closure, and auto-input switching
* Contact closure remote control with tally output — Allows for remote selection of an input channel. +5 VDC is provided to light an LED to indicate the currently selected input.
* Rack mountable, 1U metal enclosure — SW HD 4K PLUS two and four input models feature a half rack width enclosure.
* Includes LockIt® HDMI cable lacing brackets
* Highly reliable, energy-efficient external universal power supply included, replacement part #70-1174-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility with high reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating costs. Includes a ZipClip 100 Mounting Kit to securely mount an Extron power supply onto most surfaces, including tables and lecterns.
