Introduction and Features Chapter 1 What is a System 5cr cr cr cr cr Switcher? Throughout this manual, the terms System 5 and System 5cr are both used to refer to the same product. The System 5 provides central control for small audio/video installations. The five inputs accept video formats from composite, S-video and computer-video sources, together with line-level audio. In addition to being a video/audio switcher, the System 5 combines the functions of several devices, including projector

Chapter 1 Introduction and Features Infrared Learning for System Control The IR receiver window on the front panel also serves as a learning port to add IR signals from other sources to the System 5 panel functions. Then, when a panel function is selected, the learned IR signal is transmitted into the room through the hard-wired IR emitter, or the optional IR Broadcaster, to be received by the projector. IR commands for the projector can be associated with each of the Display buttons (Power, M

Introduction and Features Chapter 1 Options and Accessories The System 5 is more than just a system switcher. Standard and optional features make it the control center for a small A/V system by adding control of other things in the room as part of the system design. Two of these standard features include: Room control allows for relay control of lights, window coverings, display screen, or most anything the system designer wants to use it for. An IR transmitter distributes all incoming IR

Making Connections Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack, on a Wall or Under a Table The System 5cr comes with two sets of mounting brackets. One set is for mounting under a table or on a wall and the second set is for rack mounting. Either set is attached to the System 5 by four #8 screws. When mounted under a table on a wall, the bracket will extend approximately 1/4 inch above the top surface of the System 5 enclosure, as shown in Figure 2-1. This is designed to have an air space between the Sy

Making Connections Chapter 2 _______ Although all three outputs may be connected at the same time, only one can be active at one time, as determined by the input format. In a typical installation, an LCD projector may have inputs for all three formats. In such cases, each of the three System 5 outputs would be connected to the same projector. 11 R, G, B, H/HV, V BNC connectors, for RGBS or RGBHV output. The green LED indicates when the selected input is RGB format (PC1, PC2 or PC3) and this o

Operating the System 5cr Chapter 3 Configuration Setup from the Front Panel For the System 5 switcher to control other equipment in the A/V system, it must be configured from the front panel, or through an RS-232 device. This cannot be done from an IR 40 or SCP 100. See Chapter 4 for Windows® Control program and Appendix A for RS-232 instructions. Infrared Programs and Libraries Extron provides a library of drivers for most projectors. To download a driver from the library, see the procedure
