Questions
- What video standards and input resolution does the SW-5X1PS-70M support?
- It is HDMI 2.0b, HDCP 2.2, and DP 1.2 compliant with 18Gbps video bandwidth, accepting input resolutions from 480i up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4.
- How far does the HDBaseT output reach, and at what resolutions?
- The mirrored HDBT output extends uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 up to 131ft/40m, or 1080p and 4K30 up to 230ft/70m, over a single CAT6A F/FTP cable.
- How do I connect to the switch over RS-232 and check its status?
- Connect to the RS-232 port (3-pin Phoenix) via an RS-232-to-USB adapter at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit; the same protocol is available over TCP port 8000. Send 'r status' for a full status block or 'r type' to confirm the device model (PS51KVM).
- How do I access the Web GUI and what are the login levels?
- Get the switch's IP (default 192.168.0.100 when standalone, or via RS-232 command 'r ip addr'), then browse to it or to the domain PS51KVM-75AA.local. The Admin login (admin/admin) has full control of all pages; the User login (user/user) is limited to Preset, Video, and Master Out controls.
- How is the SW-5X1PS-70M powered and what are the TX/RX dimensions?
- The transmitter is powered by the included DC 24V/8A supply (max 150W) and can power the receiver via PoE 802.3at over HDBaseT (TX_PSE/RX_PD), or the receiver can use its own DC 24V input. The TX measures 8.66 in x 5.91 in x 1.73 in (220 x 150 x 44mm) at 2.67 lbs (1.21kg); the RX measures 5.51 in x
- What is included in the box?
- The package includes the SW-5X1PS-70M transmitter, an HDBaseT Receiver, an IR Blaster Cable (1.5m), an IR Wideband Receiver Cable (1.5m), 2x 3-pin and 3x 5-pin Phoenix connectors, 4 mounting ears, 8 machine screws, a 24V/8A desktop power supply with AC cord (1.5m), an IR remote, and a user manual.
- There is no video at the remote display connected to the HDBaseT receiver. What should I check?
- Verify F/FTP shielded CAT6A cable is used with a direct (not crossover) connection, and check the LINK LED on the RX -- if it is off, reseat the cable at both ends. For 4K60 the maximum distance is 40m; set the output to 4K30 or 1080p for runs up to 70m. Avoid unshielded UTP cable or substandard pat
- A laptop's USB-C port is not detected, or 60W charging is not working. What should I check?
- Confirm the laptop supports DisplayPort Alt mode over USB-C and use a certified cable rated for DP Alt mode -- look for a DP icon next to the port if unsure. For 60W charging, verify the cable supports USB Power Delivery and that the laptop accepts PD charging; some laptops require the PD connection
- Why choose the SW-5X1PS-70M for a room with mixed BYOD and legacy sources?
- It consolidates 2 USB-C laptop inputs with 3 HDMI inputs into a single 5x1 switch, with seamless single-screen switching and up to 5 multiview layouts, so integrators can cover both BYOD and fixed AV sources without a separate switcher.
- What value does the built-in Dante 3x3 audio matrix add for AV integrators?
- The 3x3 Dante audio matrix with independent EQ, volume, and delay per output lets integrators route and tune networked audio directly from the switch, avoiding a separate DSP or audio matrix device in smaller conference room designs.
