SSP 200 • Setup Guide
The Extron SSP 200 is a high-performance surround sound processor that automatically decodes Dolby
®
, DTS
®
, and PCM
formats from digital input sources to discrete audio outputs. Providing up to ten built-in balanced analog outputs, the SSP200
provides the exibility needed for pro A/V applications in corporate, commercial, and education environments. It supports
the latest immersive formats of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X plus legacy Dolby and DTS formats. An upmix function synthesizes
exceptional multichannel audio from stereo content. The SSP 200 features an HDMI input with loop through, coaxial and optical
digital inputs, and an analog stereo input. It is designed for integration into pro A/V installations, featuring a compact, half-rack
metal enclosure, RS-232 serial and LAN control, and balanced line level outputs.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced user to set up and congure the SSP 200. It covers how to connect
other devices and perform basic operations using rear panel connections and the front panel controls. For full operation and
conguration through Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS), internal web pages, and Simple Instruction Set (SIS™)
commands, see the SSP 200 User Guide.
NOTE: For information while using PCS, see the SSP 200 PCS Help File.

The SSP 200 (
A
) uses an IEC power cable to connect to a 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, power source.
The SSP 200 (
B
) accepts one HDMI input with embedded audio, three digital inputs, and one analog input. In addition, there is
an HDMI loop out (through) connector.
• Input 1 accepts digital signals through an HDMI cable, supporting HDMI version 2.0 with HDCP version 2.3 compliance.
• Input 2 accepts a 75 ohm unbalanced digital coaxial S/PDIF input.
• Inputs 3 and 4 accept digital signals through S/PDIF optical (TOSLINK
®
) cables.
• Input 5 accepts a balanced or unbalanced, stereo or mono, analog input through a 6-pole captive screw connector.
Connect an EXP-enabled device to the DMP expansion port (
C
) for a digital audio connection using Extron proprietary protocol.
Use the included one-foot long shielded CAT6 cable to connect the SSP 200 to a Primary EXP-enabled device (see the SSP 200
User Guide for EXP bus operation details).
The ten outputs (
H
) are balanced or unbalanced, line level, analog signals made available through captive screw connectors
providing outputs for the following surround sound channels.
Number Abbreviation Channel Description Number Abbreviation Channel Description
1
LF Left front 6 RS Right surround
2 RF Right front 7 See note below
3 C Center 8 See note below
4 SUB Subwoofer 9 See note below
5 LS Left surround 10 See note below
NOTE: Numbers 7 through 10 are configurable as back, height, or downmix channels using PCS.
By default, the SSP 200 is set to 7.1 with downmix enabled with all ten analog outputs enabled. Outputs in this conguration are
7 – Left Back, 8 – Right Back, 9 – Downmix Left, and 10 – Downmix Right.

Pair Wires
Pins:
A cable that is wired as TIA/EIA T568A at one
end and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable wired the same at both ends is called
a "straight-through" cable because no pin/pair
assignments are swapped.

Configuration port — The SSP200 can be configured through PCS or by using SIS commands through this USB mini-B
port or through the LAN and RS-232 ports on the rear panel. In addition, this configuration port is used for firmware updates
from a PC.
C
Input Source format indicators — The bank of eight LEDs identify the format of the audio input.
D
Input selection buttons — Push one of the buttons to select between the five audio inputs. When a button is selected, the
button lights green indicating it is the active input. For digital inputs 1 through 4, the button turns amber when it is selected
and the digital clock signal has not been detected.
E
Volume adjustment knob and LED bar — Use the rotary encoder to adjust the output volume from 0to 100. The default
setting is 80.
Configuration and Operation
Extron PCS
To congure and operate the SSP 200 using PCS, install the software (available on the Extron website, www.extron.com) to
a PC connected to the processor via Ethernet (using the LAN connection) or the front panel USB conguration port. After the
installation, start the program and connect to the device (see the SSP 200 User Guide at www.extron.com). For full instructions
while operating PCS, press <F1> on the keyboard or click the ? button in the software and select Help File.
Toolbelt Software
To manage the SSP 200 using Toolbelt, install the software (available on the Extron website, www.extron.com) to a PC

device by using Device Discovery to locate and then select the desired device. For full instructions while operating Toolbelt,
press <F1> on the keyboard or click the Help button in the software and select Toolbelt Help.
Internal Web Pages
To congure the SSP 200 using the factory-installed web pages in a web browser, connect the LAN connector to a LAN or WAN.
The default IP address is 192.168.254.254. There is a limited amount of conguration that can be performed with the web pages
(see the SSP 200 User Guide at www.extron.com).
SIS Commands
To congure the SSP 200 with SIS commands via an RS-232, USB, or Ethernet connection, use the Extron DataViewer utility or
a control system to send and receive SIS commands. For a list of SIS commands and variables, see the SSP 200 User Guide at
www.extron.com.
Firmware Updates
Download rmware updates from www.extron.com to a local computer and upload them via the internal web pages or PCS (see
the SSP 200 User Guide at www.extron.com).
