Introduction This section describes this guide and features of the MPS 602, including: • About this User Guide • About the MPS 602 • Features About this User Guide This guide contains information to install, configure, and operate the Extron Media Presentation Switcher, MPS 602, MPS 602 SA, and MPS 602 MA. In this guide, the MPS 602 can be referred to as “MPS”, “MPS 602” or “switcher”. Where differences between the models occur, they will be called out.
• Selectable HDMI or DTP 230 output — Routes the inputs signal to either the HDMI output or the DTP 230 output. • Independent RGB input switching — Allows independent switching of RGB inputs to the local RGB output.
• Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an analog audio signal away from its corresponding video signal and route to the audio outputs, allowing the analog audio channels to be operated as a separate switcher. • Output volume control — Provides volume control and muting for the program and amplified audio outputs, as well as a separate control for mic volume and muting.
Figure 1 shows a typical application.
Installation This section describes the installation and the operation of the MPS 602, including: • Mounting the Switcher • Rear Panel Connections • Twisted Pair Recommendations • LockIt Lacing Bracket • Cabling the MPS 602 Switcher Mounting the Switcher The MPS 602 is housed in a 1U, full rack width rack- or desk-mountable metal enclosure. The switcher can also be surface‑mounted under a table, desk, or podium, or on a wall (see Mounting the Switcher on page 33 for additional mounting details).
DTP Input and Output f DTP In — Connect a DTP 230 source (Tx) to this RJ‑45 jack (numbered 6 on the rear panel). The DTP input includes the HDMI (or DVI with the proper adapter) video with embedded audio, bi‑directional RS-232 and IR, separate balanced or unbalanced analog audio, and remote power for a connected DTP Tx device. g RS-232 and IR Over DTP In — One 3.
l Mic/Line input — One 3-pole captive screw connector switchable between mic and line level inputs. Wire the connector as shown below (see figure 4). Use the configuration software to select the mic or line input level. 3" 16 (5 mm) MAX.

Program Audio Output Connecting the 5-pole captive screw stereo output connector Balanced or unbalanced program audio output is available on the MPS 602 using a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector. Refer to the following illustration for proper wiring. ATTENTION: For unbalanced audio output, connect sleeves to the center ground pin. DO NOT connect sleeves to the negative (–) contacts. NOTE: Do not tin the audio leads. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.
Control ports r RS-232 remote — A 3-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector for connection of a host computer or a controller using SIS or Windows-based control software.

RS-232 Captive Screw Connector Wiring See Remote Control Port (RS-232) on page 22 for additional wiring details.
LockIt Lacing Bracket LockIt lacing brackets are provided to secure the HDMI cables to the rear panel connectors as shown. The configuration of the HDMI connectors on the MPS 602 rear panel require using a top mount (HDMI input 3) and a single or stacked side mount (HDMI inputs 4 and 5) installation to secure the three inputs. To secure a single HDMI cable in HDMI inputs 3 or 4: 1. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow LockIt lacing bracket placement.
Cabling the MPS 602 Switcher The MPS switcher can be connected to as many as six input devices. It can output to one of two outputs (HDMI or DTP). Follow the steps below and the installation example (see the MPS 602 Application Diagram on page 11) 1. Turn off power to the MPS switcher and all devices that will be connected to it. 2. If the MPS switcher is rack, table/wall, or through-desk mounted, position the brackets and install the mounting screws (see Mounting the Switcher on page 33). 3.
Operation This section discusses how to connect, configure, and operate the MPS 602. Topics that are covered include: • Front Panel Operation • HDMI/DTP Embedded Audio Output • Program Audio • EDID Minder • HDCP Front Panel Operation ab c d e f 1 h 2 1 2 3 i j MIC INPUTS RGB EXEC MODE g 4 5 6 k l PROGRAM AUDIO MUTE MUTE CONFIG MPS SERIES MEDIA PRESENTATION SWITCHER Figure 12.
f HDMI (digital output group) — HDMI input buttons 3, 4, and 5 select the input for the HDMI or DTP output and the corresponding audio switcher section. The LEDs to the right of each button (when lit) indicate the selected input. g DTP Input (digital output group)— DTP input button 6 switches a connected DTP transmitter to the HDMI or DTP output and corresponding audio switcher.
l Program Audio Control — This rotary encoder increases or decreases the variable program audio output (see figure 2 on page 5, n) and the amplified audio output (MPS 602 MA and MPS 602 SA only, see figure 2 on page 5, q) with this volume encoder knob. When muted, rotating this knob unmutes the program output. This control has no affect on the fixed audio output (see figure 2 on page 5, p).
HDMI/DTP Embedded Audio Output By default, the original embedded audio present on the selected HDMI or DTP input is routed to the selected HDMI or DTP audio output. If an RGB input is selected there will be no audio output. Optionally, program audio can be routed to the embedded output instead (see Audio Routing on page 29). NOTE: If the sink device connected to the DHMI/DTP output is DVI, then the signal is converted to DVI format automatically. This results in no embedded audio output.
Mic Mix Control The Mic mix knob simultaneously adjusts the mic volume mixed into the program audio output and into the amplified audio output. It has no effect on the fixed audio output. Rotate clockwise to increase mic volume and counterclockwise to decrease. Program Audio Volume EXEC MODE 1 CONFIG Use the front panel rotary encoder knob to increase or decrease program volume. Program volume adjustment has no effect on the mic volume so program audio can be muted while the mic input is still active.
Audio Gain and Attenuation Adjustments A I VG npu t1 A I In npu pu t2 t In 1 pu t In 2 pu t In 3 pu t In 4 pu t5 In pu t Ex 6 ec M od e VG Each audio input level (analog inputs 1 through 5 only) is adjusted from the front panel over a range of -18 dB to +24 dB. The adjustments normalize the input audio levels so that output volume is consistent for all inputs.
Microphone Controls Mic Mute and Volume Mic volume and mute are controlled from the front panel. The mic mute button toggles the mic input on or off. The corresponding red LED lights when mic volume is disabled (muted). When the mic input is unmuted (enabled), it is mixed with the program audio output at a level set by the mic volume rotary encoder. Mic volume is adjusted at a rate of 1 dB per step of the control. Clockwise rotation increases and counterclockwise decreases the mic volume.
EDID Minder The digital and analog groups feature EDID Minder, ensuring that each input source reads the EDID of the output display even when the input is not selected. The result is the video source powers up properly and reliably outputs content when selected. The EDID remains in the selected mode (automatic or user assigned) even after loss of power.
User assigned EDID Mode Using SIS commands, an EDID file can be selected from a table of 56 EDID files. Six additional EDID file locations are reserved for user-loaded EDID files for the RGB and HDMI/DVI/DTP inputs. Once a user assigned EDID is selected, it is stored at that input and EDID polling ceases for a connected display. The following table lists the native resolution of each factory EDID file.

Remote Communication and Control This section discusses SIS programming and control of the MPS 602 including: • Connection Options • Host-to-MPS Communications • Command and Response Table Connection Options The MPS 602 can be remotely connected via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS‑232 port or the front panel USB Config port. The switcher can be set up and controlled using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands.
Front Panel Configuration Port The mini type B USB port is located on the front panel (see figure 12 on page 12). It is used to connect to a host computer for configuration using SIS commands with DataViewer or for updating firmware with the Firmware Loader utility. Both are available at www.extron.com. The programs are also necessary to install the USB driver to the connected computer.

MPS Switcher Error Responses When the MPS switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host.
