About this User Guide
This guide contains information to install, configure, and operate the Extron MPS601 Media
Presentation Switcher.
In this guide, the MPS601is referred to interchangeably as “MPS,” “MPS601,” or
“switcher.”
About the MPS601
The Extron MPS 601 is a compact six input, one-output media presentation switcher for
digital and analog sources. It offers four HDCP-compliant HDMI inputs and two RGB video
inputs with analog stereo audio. RGB video and analog audio are digitized and switched
through the HDMI output. The MPS 601 features two Extron-exclusive technologies: EDID
Minder, which maintains continuous EDID communication between connected devices and
Key Minder, which continuously authenticates and maintains HDCP encryption between
input and output devices, to ensure quick and reliable switching. The MPS 601 is ideal for
applications that require routing digital and analog sources to a single display.
Figure 1. MPS601 Application Diagram

(selectable) with an active video signal.
MPS601 • Introduction 2
• RS-232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for complete control and
configuration via the Extron Windows
®
-based control program when integrated into a
control system. Extron products use the Simple Instruction Set (SIS) protocol, a set of
basic ASCII code commands that allow quick and easy programming.
• Contact closure remote control with tally output — Used for remote selection of
an input channel. +5 VDC is provided to light an LED to indicate the current input.
• Rack-mountable, 1U, half rack width metal enclosure.
• LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Brackets.

LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket
The included LockIt lacing brackets secure the HDMI cables to the rear panel connectors
as shown in figure8, below. The configuration of the HDMI connectors and supporting
fasteners on the MPS601 rear panel require using a top mount (HDMI output, see figure9,
Top) and a stacked side mount (HDMI inputs 3 and 4, and inputs5and6) installation to
secure the four inputs and single output.
To secure a single HDMI cable in HDMI inputs 3 and 5:
1. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow LockIt
lacing bracket placement (see figure8,
1
).
ATTENTION:
• Do not remove the HDMI connection mounting screw.
• Ne retirez pas la vis de montage de la connexion HDMI.
• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield it fastens to
is very thin and can easily be stripped.
• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel
elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.
2. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (
2
).
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector (
3
), then
tighten the screw to secure the bracket.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and LockIt lacing
bracket (
4
). Hold the connector securely against the lacing bracket and tighten the tie
wrap, then remove excess length.
To secure two HDMI cables in HDMI inputs 3 and 4 or inputs 5 and 6:
1. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel near HDMI input 4
enough to allow LockIt lacing bracket placement.
2. Insert both HDMI cables into the panel.
3. Use a single LockIt lacing bracket to the side of the cable.
4. Secure both with the tie wrap as shown in the stacked configuration in figure8.

Cabling the MPS601 Switcher
The switcher can be connected to asmany as six input devices (RGBHV and HDMI). It can
output to one HDMI device or display. Follow the steps below and the installation example
(see figure1 on page1).
1. Turn off power to the switcher and all devices that will be connected to it.
2. Mount the switcher (see Mounting Options on page46).
3. Attach up to two analog RGBHV, and four HDMI (or DVI-D with appropriate adapters)
sources (see Connections on page4).
4. Connect the HDMI output to a compatible display device (see Connections).
5. For analog audio input, connect audio sources to the audio inputs corresponding to the
RGBHV video inputs (see Connections).
6. Connect a control PC or control device to the switcher using:
a. The rear panel RS-232 port and a 3-pole captive screw connector (see Remote
Control Port (RS-232) on page37).
b. The front panel USB configuration port (see Front Panel Configuration Port on
page38).
7. Power up the input and output devices, then connect power to the rear AC connector
of the switcher.

Auto Switch LED — This LED lights when auto-input switching is active.
B
Config connector — One female USB mini B port connects a host computer for
configuring the switcher and upgrading firmware.
C
Input switching buttons — Six buttons with associated green LEDs. Press an input
button to switch an input to the HDMI output. Only one of the six inputs can be selected
at a time.
D
Input signal LEDs — Six green LEDs:
• The LEDs for RGB inputs 1 and 2 light when horizontal sync is detected on the
input.
• The LEDs for HDMI inputs 3 to 6 light when TMDS clock activity is detected on the
input.
NOTE: If a connected HDMI source is HDCP encrypted, the HDMI signal LED
does not light until HDCP is authenticated. If HDCP authorization is disabled, the
switcher does not display content with HDCP encryption.
E
Output signal LED — This LED lights when the HDMI output is connected to a display
or sink device.
F
HDCP input signal LEDs (inputs 3, 4, 5, and 6) — These LEDs light when the
connected source device signal is HDCP encrypted.
G
HDCP output LED — This LED lights when the signal from the currently selected input
source is HDCP encrypted and the connected output device (sink) is authenticated.

MPS601 • Operation 11
HDCP
The HDMI group is HDCP compliant. When EDID Minder is enabled (default), HDCP is not
supported if adapters are used to provide DVI inputs.
HDCP communication occurs between the selected input source and the output device
directly (pass-though).
Audio Modes
There are three audio modes to customize switching the digital and analog audio inputs
to the output. They are selectable using SIS commands (see Audio input mode on
page42) or the PCS software (see Audio Config Page on page34).
NOTES:
• For a 4K source connected to inputs 3 through 6, analog audio can not be
substituted for embedded audio.
• When embedded audio for a 4K source is muted via PCS or SIS command, the
corresponding 4K video is also muted.
• When video for a 4K source is muted via PCS or SIS command, the corresponding
embedded audio is also muted.
Mode 1 (Default)
When each RGBHV input has an associated audio input, the associated audio input follows
the selected input.
• Audio input A follows input 1 (yellow box in figure11).
Input 1 selected: RGBHV 1 video and audio input A switch to the HDMI output.
• Audio input B follows input 2 (green box in figure11).
Input 2 selected: RGBHV 2 video and audio input B switch to the HDMI output.
• Inputs 3 through 6 selected: the associated embedded audio switches to the output.
