• Features

About this User Guide

This guide contains information to install, configure, and operate the Extron MPS601 Media

Presentation Switcher.

In this guide, the MPS601is referred to interchangeably as “MPS,” “MPS601,” or

“switcher.”

About the MPS601

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. MPS601 Application Diagram

• HDMI to DVI interface format correction — Automatically reformats HDMI source

signals for output to a connected DVI display.

• Automatic input cable equalization to 50 feet (15 meters) at 1080p 60Hz with

8-bit color when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cable — Actively conditions

incoming HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss when using long cables, low

quality cables, or source devices with poor HDMI signal output.

• Control for video and audio muting — Mutes video and audio signals by external

contact closure or RS-232 control.

• Audio input assignment — Provides integration flexibiity. In normal operation, the

analog audio inputs follow the corresponding RGB input. Alternatively, they can be

assigned to follow preset groups of RGB and digital inputs. Grouped inputs can share

a common analog audio input. The HDMI output can be set to pass incoming digital

audio, embed the analog audio, or automatically embed the analog audio when no

digital audio is detected.

• Powers on the HDMI output — Provides +5 VDC, 200 mA.

• 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 controller.

multiple products using a single software application.

• Multiple control options — Includes front panel, RS-232, contact closure, and

auto-input switching.

• Auto-input switching — Switches to the highest- or lowest-numbered input

(selectable) with an active video signal.

MPS601 • 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.

• Energy-efficient external universal power supply — Provides worldwide

compatibility, low power consumption, and reduced operating costs.

LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket

The included LockIt lacing brackets secure the HDMI cables to the rear panel connectors

as shown in figure8, below. The configuration of the HDMI connectors and supporting

fasteners on the MPS601 rear panel require using a top mount (HDMI output, see figure9,

Top) and a stacked side mount (HDMI inputs 3 and 4, and inputs5and6) 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 figure8,

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 figure8.

Cabling the MPS601 Switcher

The switcher can be connected to asmany 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 figure1 on page1).

1. Turn off power to the switcher and all devices that will be connected to it.

2. Mount the switcher (see Mounting Options on page46).

3. Attach up to two analog RGBHV, and four HDMI (or DVI-D with appropriate adapters)

sources (see Connections on page4).

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 page37).

b. The front panel USB configuration port (see Front Panel Configuration Port on

page38).

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.

MPS601 • 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

page42) or the PCS software (see Audio Config Page on page34).

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 figure11).

Input 1 selected: RGBHV 1 video and audio input A switch to the HDMI output.

• Audio input B follows input 2 (green box in figure11).

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.
