USER MANUAL HDP 101 4K Extron

HDP 101 4K • User Guide

The Extron HDP 101 4K is a compact, active HDMI to DisplayPort converter for signals up to 4K/30 @ 4:4:4. It converts HDMI signals for connection to DisplayPort displays or peripherals. Incoming HDMI signals are equalized up to 15 feet (4 meters) at the input to compensate for signal loss. The HDP 101 4K features EDID Minder ^® , which maintains continuous EDID communication with connected devices and ensures that the HDMI source powers up properly and maintains correct video output. Audio information is passed between source and display.

The HDP 101 4K supports digital video resolutions of up to 4K/30 @ 4:4:4 (or 10.2 Gbps) and is DisplayPort 1.1, HDMI 1.4, and HDCP 1.4 compliant.

Figure 3. Wiring the Power Connector

ATTENTION:

- Always use a power supply supplied by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

- If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power source marked "Class 2" or "LPS" rated 12 VDC, 0.1 A minimum.

- Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.

- The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar structure.

D DP output — Connect a DisplayPort device to the DP output.

LED Indicators

Firmware Upgrades

The HDP 101 4K firmware can be upgraded via Product Configuration Software (PCS) or the Extron Firmware Loader program (available at www.extron.com).

SIS Commands

The HDP 101 4K can be configured with specific SIS commands via a USB connection. Use the Extron DataViewer utility or a control system to send SIS commands and receive responses. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the HDP 101 4K recognizes a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the receiver to the host end the character string with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ←). A string is one or more characters.

When the HDP 101 4K is first switched on, it sends the message:

© Copyright 2018, Extron Electronics HDP 101 4K, Vx.xx, 60-1739-01

- Vx.xx is the firmware version number.

• 60-1739-01 is the product part number.

Error Responses

When the HDP 101 4K receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the HDP 101 4K is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, it returns the following error responses to the host:

• E10 – Invalid command

• E13 – Invalid parameter

Using the Command and Response Table

The Command and Response Table for SIS Commands starting on page 6 lists the following:

- Valid ASCII command codes

• The device response to the host

- A description of the command function, or the results of executing the command

The ASCII to hexadecimal conversion table below is for use with the command and response table:
