Introduction
Digital time base correction — Time base correction stabilizes
the video signal in the time domain. This results in a
significantly more stable image on the screen and better
recording quality from input sources with unstable video
signals, such as consumer VCRs and worn or multi-
generation VHS tapes.
About this Manual
This manual contains information about the Extron YCS SW2
Switcher, and discusses how to install, configure, and operate it.
The terms “YCS SW2,” “YCS,” and “Switcher” are used
interchangeably throughout this manual.
Simultaneous composite video and S-video outputs — One
composite video and two S-video outputs allow for
recording and display at the same time.
About the YCS SW2
The Extron YCS SW2 is a high-performance, two input
(one composite video and one S-video) switcher with three
simultaneous outputs (one composite video and two S-video),
digital transcoding and autoswitching capabilities, and digital
time base correction (TBC). Using a 3-line NTSC/5-line PAL
digital comb filter, the YCS accepts NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL,
or SECAM composite video, and decodes the signal into Y
(luma) and C (chroma) for S-video. As an encoder, it combines
Y and C signals and outputs a composite video image.
Individually buffered S-video outputs — Two individually
buffered S-video outputs are provided on one female
4-pin mini DIN connector and a pair of female BNC
connectors, for easy integration.
Contact closure remote control — Inputs can be selected
remotely using a user-supplied two-button contact closure
device.
Quad standard compatibility — The digital quad standard
Certain projectors have both video and S-video inputs, but
can use only one of them at a time. The YCS SW2 solves this
problem by autoswitching between composite video and
S-video, then decoding the S-video to feed to the projector. (See
figure 1-1 under Application Diagrams, later in this chapter.)
decoder/encoder provides for universal compatibility.
Enclosure — The YCS SW2 has a compact 1U high, ¼-rack
wide, 3 inches deep Versatools® metal enclosure that can
be easily placed or mounted in a variety of locations.
The YCS SW2 can also be used at the output of a multi-format
switcher, such as the Extron MPS 112, to automatically select
between the video and S-video group outputs, sending a single
S-video signal to the projector. (See figure 1-2.)
Power supply — An external 12 VDC power supply with a
two-pin captive screw connector accepts 100 to 240 VAC.
Rack and furniture mounting — The YCS SW2 can be mounted
on a rack shelf, under a desk or podium, or on a projector
pole, with an optional mounting kit.
Inputs can be selected by pressing the front panel buttons, by
enabling autoswitching using a jumper wire, or by contact
closure using a remote push-button device.
Features
Autoswitching — The YCS SW2 can be configured to
automatically switch to the active input when the
YCS detects a video signal, thus providing hands-free
switching. If both the composite video and the S-video
signals are present, the switcher defaults to input 2,
S-video.
Digital encoding and decoding — The YCS SW2 digitally
decodes (separates) the composite video input signal into
Y and C for S-video, and encodes (combines) the Y and C
signals of S-video input into composite video.

Connector
•
Connect an optional two-button contact closure device to
the three ports labeled “Contact” (pins 1, 2, and 3). (See
Contact closure, later in this chapter.)
Figure 2-11 — Power connector wiring
CAUTION
Do not tin the stripped power supply leads before
attaching the captive screw plug to them. Tinned
wires are not as secure in the captive screw
connectors and can be easily pulled out. They may
also break after being bent several times.
•
Jumper-wire together the two ports labeled “Auto-SW”
(pins 4 and 5) to enable autoswitching. (See Autoswitching,
later in this chapter.)
The two power cord wires must be kept separate
while the power supply is plugged in. Remove
power before wiring.
Wiring the Power Connector
To wire the connector for the external power supply,
1.
2.
Cut the DC output cord to the length needed.
Strip the jacket to expose 0.2 inches (5 mm) of the
conductors.
Wiring the Captive Screw Connector
The 5-pin, 3.5 mm captive screw connector is used for optional
push-button remote control of the YCS SW2, and/or to enable
autoswitching between inputs connected to the YCS. The
following figure shows the pin assignments for the captive
screw connector.
CAUTION
Exposing more than 0.2” (5 mm) of the copper
wires could allow the stripped wires to touch each
other, causing a short circuit. This could result in
the external DC power supply overheating and/or
burning.
AUTO-SW
CONTACT
Stripping the wires to expose less than the
recommended amount may cause them to slide out
of the connector too easily, even if they are tightly
pinched by the captive screws.

2.
Insert the plug into the 5-pin captive screw connector on
the YCS rear panel.
Pins 1, 2, and 3 of the captive screw connector enable input
switching via a latching contact closure device.
If you want to select inputs remotely, you can connect a two-
button contact closure device to pins 1, 2, and 3 of the rear
panel captive screw connector. When a contact closure device
is connected, the front panel input selection buttons remain
functional as well.

You can set up the YCS to automatically select the active,
connected input. If both inputs are active, selection defaults to
input 2 (S-video). You enable autoswitching by connecting pins
4 and 5 of the rear panel captive screw connector with a small
piece of wire that functions as a jumper. Autoswitching remains
in effect as long as the jumper wire is connecting these two pins
together.

Cut a small piece of wire to use as a jumper, and insert the
ends of the wire into pin holes 4 and 5 of the provided
5-pin captive screw plug, connecting pins 4 and 5 together
as shown in figure 2-13, below. Use an Extron Tweeker or
other small screwdriver to tighten the plug’s pin 4 and 5
screws, so that the wire ends remain securely in place.

Selecting an Input by Using the Buttons
YCS SW2
The YCS SW2 has two inputs available — one composite
video and one S-video. You can select either of these inputs by
pressing the appropriate button on the front panel. When an
input is selected, its LED lights and remains lit while its input
source is active.
The front panel buttons are labeled “1” and “2” for the two
inputs. Press input button 1 to select the composite video input,
or button 2 to select the S-video input.
You can also set up the YCS to select inputs via contact closure
or autoswitching. For information on enabling input selection
by either of these methods, see Contact closure or Autoswitching,
earlier in this chapter.
The YCS SW2 does not have non-volatile memory.
Therefore, the input selection defaults to input 1 after a
power loss.
