Quick Start Guide

AutoPatch S-Video DA Modules & AF-10 Boards

Overview

S-Video Distribution Amplifier (DA) boards are available as either standalone 
distribution amplifier modules (left in FIG. 1) or as distribution amplifier accessory 
boards for an AF-10 (right in FIG. 1). The S-Video DA Module has one input and four 
outputs for a 1:4 distribution. S-Video DA boards have five S-Video connectors; either 
one input and four outputs or five outputs that are paired with the 1:4 board to create a 
1:9 distribution amplifier.

Product Specifications

Product specifications below are specifically for AMX AutoPatch S-Video cables.

AF-10 with 1:4 & 5-out S-Video Distribution Amplifier Boards

Board System Set-up

S-Video DA 1:4 and 5-out boards are available for the AMX AutoPatch AF-10 
Accessory Card Frame. The 1:4 board is built to use alone or in conjunction with the 
5-out board. When using both, these boards must be installed in adjoining slot pairs, 
with the 5-out board to the left of the 1:4 board for a 1:9 distribution.

Attaching Cables

NoteAMX AutoPatch S-Video cables lock onto S-Video connectors. Standard 
S-Video cables may be used, but will not lock.

To attach a locking S-Video connector:

1.

Hold the connector at a slight angle to the right while pushing in or pull back on 
the connector housing while pushing the connector in.
