To install and set up the SW HDMI switcher:

SW HDMI” on page 31).
3. Connect HDMI input sources to one or more of the SW HDMI input connectors.
4. Connect an HDMI output device to the output connector.
5. Connect control devices. Connect your computer to one of the following SW HDMI
ports to configure and control the switcher via SIS commands or the Universal
Switcher Control Program:
• RS-232 port — Pins 1, 2, and 3 of the Remote port (d on the rear panel
diagrams on the next page) for serial RS-232 control. (See “Wiring for RS-232
Control” on page 7 for connection procedures.)
• Config port — USB mini B connector (f on the front panel diagrams
on page 11) for USB control. (See “Connecting to the USB Port” on
page 8 for connection procedures.)
6. (Optional) Enable auto-input switching. Use a jumper to connect pins 4 and 5 of
the 5-pole captive screw plug that you plugged into the Remote connector in step 4
(see “Enabling Auto-input Switching” on page 10).
7. Power on the output display.
8. Connect power to the switcher (see “Powering On the Switcher” on page 13).
