Wiring Specifications Wiring Specifications Overview This chapter provides the port pinouts and wiring specifications (when applicable) for each port on the front and rear panels of the Solecis Digital Switchers. Port Pinouts and Wiring Specifications The following sub-sections describe the wiring for each port on the SDX switchers. Refer to the Device Connectors section on page 13 for the component layout of the switchers.
Wiring Specifications DVI Pinout for DVI-to-HDMI Cable Adapter The pinout in FIG. 20 is for DVI-to-HDMI cable adapters which can be used with the modules when a DVI-I signal is required. FIG.
Wiring Specifications VGA INPUT Ports The SDX-510M-DX features two VGA input ports on the rear panel to route analog video from connected source input devices to the connected output devices. These ports support standard VGA cabling. FIG. 21 displays one of the VGA inputs. FIG. 21 VGA INPUT 3 The VGA inputs are used to accept a variety of analog video signals from a source device. The following table provides cable pinout details for HD-15 connections for RGBHV.
Wiring Specifications DXLink OUTPUT One DXLink (RJ-45) connector transports digital video, embedded audio, Ethernet, and bi-directional control over twisted pair cable to DXLink devices or boards, including digitally transcoded analog video signals. The DXLink output supports HDCP. Note: The DXLink output on the SDX-510M-DX provides Power Over DXLink to compatible DXLink Receivers so they do not need local power at the display or projector. FIG. 23 displays the DXLink output. FIG.
Wiring Specifications Important Twisted Pair Cabling Requirements and Recommendations The following requirements and recommendations apply to cabling DXLink (RJ-45) connectors: DXLink cable runs require shielded category cable (STP) of Cat6 (or better). DXLink twisted pair cable runs for DXLink equipment shall only be run within a common building.* DXLink delivers 10.2 Gb/s throughput over shielded category cable.
Wiring Specifications To use the 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) captive-wire connector for data communication and power transfer, the incoming PWR and GND cable from the 12 VDC-compliant power supply must be connected to the AxLink cable connector going to the switcher. FIG. 27 shows the wiring diagram. To the external AxLink device Top view To the switcher’s AxLink/PWR connector Local 12+ VDC power supply (coming from an external power supply) Top view FIG.
Installation Installation Overview Installing the Solecis Digital Switcher is a quick and simple process. Before connecting the switcher to its peripheral devices and powering the device, be sure to mount the device using one of the methods detailed below. The switchers also include rubber feet that you can apply to the bottom of the device for table-top mounting. Also included in this chapter is information on making initial connections and configurations to begin running your switcher.
Installation 2. Set the device aside. If using the wood screws provided, drill pilot holes (drill size 29; hole diameter 0.136 in.) for the screws 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) deep. Insert the screws in the holes, but do not tighten them completely. FIG. 30 Pilot holes with screws 3. Align the module with the center of the double key-hole slots over the screws and slide into place as indicated in FIG. 31. FIG. 31 Sliding the switcher onto the Wall Mount Screws 4. Tighten the screws.
Installation Mounting the Switcher on a Pole The AVB-VSTYLE-POLE-MNT, V Style Single Module Pole Mounting Kit (FG1010-723) is designed for mounting a single module to a projector pipe (or other 2 inch diameter pipes). The kit contains all the mounting hardware for the assembly in FIG. 33. Perform these steps to mount the switcher on a pole: 1. Attach the mounting brackets to the module according to the instructions for surface mounting (see FIG. 28). 2.
Installation 4. (This step is optional.) Attach fill plates using the #4-40 3/16 inch undercut flat head screws (provided). Be sure to use the screw holes closest to the front of the tray. 5. Use wire ties (not provided) to mount the power supply to the rear section of the rack shelf. This step is optional. Connections and Setup The following sections describe how to connect your switcher to your network, audio/video sources, and accessories.
Installation 2. Release the pushbutton when the LEDs start to blink faster. When you release the Pushbutton, the switcher toggles either from static to dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing or vice versa and remains in that mode until you use the ID Pushbutton to toggle the IP mode again or you perform a factory reset. The switcher automatically reboots to complete the process.
Installation Restore the Factory Firmware Image and Factory Default Parameters During power up – if the ID Pushbutton is held until the STATUS and LINK/ACT LEDs toggle back and forth in unison approximately 30 times (10 slow, 20 fast) and then released when they go solid, the module’s factory firmware image will be restored. This procedure affects both the firmware version and the parameters. Perform these steps to restore the factory firmware image and factory default parameters: 1.
Video Switching Video Switching Overview This chapter discusses the various methods you can use to change between video inputs on your switcher. You can use the following methods: Auto Switching Mode Manual Mode (Input selection via a physical button press) Auto Switching Mode Auto Switching mode is the default switching mode. With Auto Switching mode, the switcher responds to the most recently added video input by switching the new input to display on the HDMI and DXLink output.

Upgrading Firmware Upgrading Firmware Overview The basic process of upgrading firmware on Solecis Digital Switchers involves downloading the latest firmware files from www.amx.com and using NetLinx Studio to transfer the files to a target switcher. Use the OnLine Device tree in NetLinx Studio to view the firmware files currently loaded on the switcher. FIG. 36 shows an example OnLine Tree: FIG.
Upgrading Firmware Downloading the Latest Firmware Files from www.amx.com Visit the appropriate product page at www.amx.com for the latest Solecis Digital Switcher firmware (*.kit) file for your switcher. Firmware file links are available along the right-side of the catalog page (FIG. 37): Firmware file FIG. 37 Sample Switcher Firmware File Link from www.amx.com Firmware files are bundled in a ZIP file, along with a Readme.TXT file that provides details on this firmware release.
Upgrading Firmware The selected file is indicated in the Files area. FIG. 39 NetLinx Studio - Send to NetLinx Device Dialog 6. Verify the target’s System number matches the value listed within the active System folder in the OnLine Tree. The Device number is always 0 for the switcher. Note that the Port field is disabled (FIG. 40). FIG. 40 Send to NetLinx Device dialog (showing on-board switcher firmware upgrade 7.
Upgrading Firmware 10. In the OnLine Tree, right-click on the switcher and select Refresh System. This establishes a new connection and refreshes the device list and their firmware versions in your system. Once the process is complete, you can upgrade the remaining firmware files. All device files must be kept at compatible firmware versions for proper operation. Therefore, all files should be used when upgrading any firmware associated with the Integrated switchers.

Appendix A - Telnet (Terminal) Commands Master Connection Modes The mode of communication used for connection to the Master is specified via the SET CONNECTION Telnet command (see page 51). Connection mode setting options are AUTO, TCP URL, UDP URL, or NDP (default) as described: AUTO – This mode utilizes TCP communication. It looks for a matching System Number and attempts to come online with the first Master it sees with that System Number. TCP URL – TCP; the Master is specified via URL.
Appendix A - Telnet (Terminal) Commands Notes on Specific Telnet Clients Telnet and terminal clients exhibit different behaviors in some situations. This section states some of the known anomalies. Windows Client Programs Anomalies occur when using a Windows® client if you are not typing standard ASCII characters (i.e., using the keypad and the Alt key to enter decimal codes). Most programs will allow you to enter specific decimal codes by holding Alt and using keypad numbers.
