Introduction This section contains general information about this guide and the Extron XTP SR HDMI scaling receiver. Topics in this section include: • About this Guide • About the XTP SR HDMI Scaling Receiver • Key Features About this Guide This guide provides installation, operation, control, and reference information for the XTP SR HDMI scaling receiver. In this guide, the terms “scaling receiver” and “XTP SR HDMI” are used interchangeably to refer to the XTP SR HDMI scaling receiver.
The following diagram shows one way the XTP SR HDMI can be integrated in an XTP point-to-point application. The scaling receiver can also be used with an XTP matrix switcher (see the XTP matrix switcher user guide for more details on matrix applications).
EDID Minder — Automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices. It ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably outputs content for display. Key Minder — Authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one or more displays.
Installation This section contains installation procedures for the XTP SR HDMI and wiring details. Topics in this section include: • Rear Panel Connectors • Making Connections The XTP SR HDMI can be placed on a tabletop or mounted in a rack or under a desk (see Mounting on page 43). Rear Panel Connectors SIG POWER 12V 1.
ATTENTION: • Do not connect this connector to a computer data or telecommunications network. • Ne connectez pas ce port à des données informatiques ou à un réseau de télécommunications. • XTP remote power is intended for indoor use only. No part of the network that uses XTP remote power should be routed outdoors (see Remote power on page 11). • XTP à distance est destiné à une utilisation en intérieur seulement.
F G S/PDIF audio output connector — Connect an audio device to the female orange RCA connector for digital S/PDIF audio output (see Audio Output Overview on page 13 for supported audio formats on the S/PDIF output). The type of audio present on this output is dictated by the following: • The audio format selected on the source material or device. • The source device automatically outputting an audio format through EDID.
TP Cable Termination and Recommendations Use the following pin configurations for twisted pair cables.
Cable recommendations Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to 330 feet (100 m) and reduce transmission errors.
RS-232 and IR Over XTP Communication The RS-232 and IR Over XTP connector is for pass-through transmission of serial signals, such as projector control signals, and infrared data. To pass bidirectional serial command signals between XTP-compatible devices, connect a control device to the three leftmost poles (Tx, Rx, and G) of the 5-pole captive screw connector. To transmit and receive IR signals, connect a control device to the three rightmost poles (G, Tx, and Rx). The ground (G) pole is shared.
Local power Smooth A Ridges A SECTION A–A Power Supply Output Cord Tie Wrap 3 Figure 7. Power Wiring 5 Captive Screw Connector The XTP SR HDMI can be connected to a local power supply (see figure 7). WARNING: Electric shock hazard. The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring. AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de choc électrique grave.
Remote power The XTP SR HDMI can be powered remotely through an XTP Power Injector or through an XTP matrix switcher. ATTENTION: • XTP remote power is intended for indoor use only. No part of the network that uses XTP remote power should be routed outdoors. • XTP à distance est destiné à une utilisation en intérieur seulement. Aucune partie du réseau qui utilise l’alimentation XTP à distance ne peut être routée en extérieur.

SIS Configuration and Control The XTP SR HDMI can be configured and controlled using the OSD menu (see On-Screen Display Menu System on page 13), Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands, or the XTP System Configuration Software (see XTP System Configuration Software on page 29). This section contains SIS communication details and SIS commands and responses when connected directly to an XTP SR HDMI.
Error Responses When the XTP SR HDMI receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends the corresponding response to the host device. If the command is determined invalid or contains invalid parameters, the receiver returns an error response to the host.
