Introduction  
The Extron YCS SW6 MX is a video decoder/encoder/switcher  
with both composite and S-video outputs. It separates input  
composite video signals into their YC (luminance and  
YCS SW6 MX  
chrominance) components (S-video), or it combines input  
S-video YC signals into composite video format. Both formats  
are available for output regardless of the selected input type.  
Six switchable inputs are available. Inputs 1 – 4 use either BNC  
or mini-DIN connectors for either composite video or S-video.  
Inputs 5 and 6 use BNC connectors for composite video.  
Switching occurs during the vertical blanking interval of the  
video signal.  
Features  
Video formats — The switcher can be configured to operate in  
either NTSC or PAL mode.  
Inputs — Six inputs are provided. Four can be used as either  
composite video or S-video, and two are dedicated to  
composite video.  
Chapter Two  
Built-in YC separator — Composite video can be converted to  
S-video.  
Built-in YC combiner — S-video can be converted to composite

video.  
Dual buffered outputs — Two outputs are provided. One is for  
composite video, and one is for S-video. These outputs  
function simultaneously.  
Multiple control methods — You can select an input by using

any of the following:  
• Front panel control buttons  
• Extron’s control program for Windows  
Installation  
Operation  
• RS-232 command using Extron’s Simple Instruction Set™  
(SIS™)  
• Third-party contact closure remote control  
• Infrared remote control  
Power supply — The switcher includes a 100VAC to 240VAC,  
50/60 Hz, internal, auto-switchable power supply.  
Rack mountable — The switcher can be rack mounted on one  
side of an optional 1U rack shelf (Extron part number  
60-190-01).

composite video into S-video format, or it combines S-video  
(YC) input signals into composite video format. Both formats  
are available as outputs, regardless of the selected input type.

Serial Communication  
The YCS SW6 MX switcher can be controlled by a host computer  
Switcher error responses  
or other control device via an RS-232 connection with a protocol  
of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. The  
control device can use either Extron’s Simple Instruction Set  
(SIS) or the graphical control program for Windows.  
When the switcher receives a valid SIS command, it executes the  
command and sends a response to the host device. If the  
switcher is unable to execute the command because the  
command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the  
switcher returns an error response to the host. The error  
response codes and their descriptions are as follows:

Using the command/response table  
The table on page 3-4 lists the commands that the switcher  
recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned to the host, a  
description of the command’s function or the results of  
executing the command, and an example of each command.  
Lower case characters are acceptable in the command field only  
where indicated.  
Symbol definitions are shown at the beginning of the table. An  
ASCII to HEX conversion table is provided in figure 8.  
RS-232 Programmer’s Guide  
ASCII to HEX Conversion Table  
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No  
special characters are required to begin or end a command  
sequence. When the switcher determines that a command is  
valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host  
device. All responses from the switcher to the host end with a  
carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the  
end of the response character string. A string is one or more  
characters.  
Switcher-initiated messages  
When a local event such as an input selection occurs, the  
switcher responds by sending a message to the host. No  
response is required from the host. The switcher-initiated  
messages are listed below (underlined).

Universal SW Control Program  
The Universal SW Control Program, Extron part number  
29-031-01, which ships with the YCS SW6 MX switcher, is

The Universal SW Control Program is contained on a single 3.5”  
diskette, and it can run from the floppy drive. However, it is  
usually more convenient to load and run the program from the  
hard drive.

To install the software from the floppy disk onto the hard drive,  
run SETUP.EXE from the floppy disk, and follow the

Remote Contact Closure Operation  
Reference Information  
The RS-232 connector provides a way to control the switcher  
from a remote contact closure device. This is made possible by  
using pins that are not normally used by the RS-232 interface.  
The contact closure pin assignments are shown in the table on  
page 3-2.  
Specifications  
Part Numbers  
To select a different input number through the RS-232 connector,  
momentarily short the pin for the desired input number to the  
signal ground (pin 5). To force one of the inputs to be selected,  
leave the short to signal ground in place. This overrides any  
front panel input selection.  
Momentary contact is 250 – 500 milliseconds.  
Avoid contact with pins 2 and 3, which are used  
with the RS-232 interface. Shorting these pins to  
ground or to other pins on the RS-232 connector  
could damage internal circuits.
