THE FOLLOWING FEATURES ARE SUPPORTED:
Traditional Matrix Switcher: The CrossPoint 300 switches are multizone - multisource audio / video
switchers that can be controlled by the OneHome software using an RS-232 port. The OneHome Viewer
interface can be used to select sources in each zone.
Standard Configurations: The CrossPoint series driver will switch audio and video to a zone together. In
other words, if zone 1 is playing Audio Source 2, then Video Source 2 will also be routed to zone 1.
THE FOLLOWING FEATURES ARE NOT SUPPORTED:
Independent Audio / Video Switching: The CrossPoint series switches generally allow you to send
Audio Source 1 to zone 2, and Video Source 1 to zone 3. This is not supported in the OneHome
system: Audio Source 1 and Video Source 1 will switch together.
Volume Control: Volume control is currently not supported for the CrossPoint series: in typical
configurations to date there is a receiver or other amplifier which performs this function. Please contact us
if you would like to have volume control.

1. During the rough-in phase, install wires for the sources, amplifiers and displays for each zone.
2. Also during the rough-in phase, run a Cat5 wire from the location of the switch back to the Network
Assembly of the OneHome system for RS-232 communications. Refer to the RS-232 Connection
Options Integration Note for other options.
3. Install the switch, the sources, amplifier, displays and speakers.
4. Setup the switch to operate according to Extron standard procedures: see Extron Configuration
below.
5. Confirm proper audio and video switching as configured in step above.
6. Connect the OneHome system to the switch electrically. See the wiring diagrams for more
information.
7. Configure the OneHome system for the switch and confirm communication between the switch and
the HomeBrick.
8. Test the system by changing sources in a zone to confirm the correct source plays and volume is
controlled. Test source control for any sources that are to be controlled from the OneHome interface.
