Quick Start Guide
AutoPatch Optima Distribution Matrix
Overview
Because the Optima Distribution Matrix is available in various sizes and board
configurations, the illustrations in this guide may differ from the model(s) you
purchased. For complete documentation for this product (including individual board
specifications), see the
AMX AutoPatch CD
or visit

Installation
ESD Warning:
Avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to
sensitive components; be sure you and the enclosure(s) are
properly grounded before touching any internal materials.
Rack Mounting
To rack mount an Optima enclosure:
1.
Attach the rack ears as shown in FIG. 1 (screws provided).
2.
Install in a rack leaving a minimum of one empty rack unit above and below
(required); three empty rack units above and below are recommended.
Linking Multiple Enclosures (if applicable)
If the system has multiple enclosures, link cables and the Quick Start Guide
“AutoPatch – Linking Enclosures” has been provided. Link the enclosures according to
the guide.
Attaching Input & Output Cables/Wires
For testing purposes, attach just the first two sources and destinations according to the
AutoPatch Connector Guide
.
Follow the guide exactly; the system is programmed to
operate based on the guide.
Video Boards – BNC
Video BNC connectors are used for standard video,
Hi-Z sync, HV Hi-Z sync,
wideband, Y/c, SD-SDI, and HD-SDI signal types.
Component signals (e.g., Y/Pb/Pr) require more than one BNC connection. The
example in FIG. 2 (column right, top) shows three BNC cable connectors attached for
routing a three-component signal through Output 9.
S-Video Boards
S-Video boards are equipped with locking connectors, which lock on to AutoPatch
S-Video cables. Standard S-Video connectors may be used, but will not lock.
To fasten a locking S-Video connector:
hold the connector at a slight angle to
the right and push in (or pull back on the connector housing while pushing in).
RGBHV/HD-15 Boards
RGBHV/HD-15 boards use the pinouts in FIG. 4 for HD-15 connectors.
Note:
55 mA supplied on output pin 9; power draw not to exceed 50 mA per port.
DVI Boards
EDID Programmer software is provided with the 8x8 DVI boards to assist with in-field
programming (4x4 DVI boards do not support this software). For information, see the
instruction manual. DVI boards use the pinout in FIG 5.
*
4x4 DVI Board
– Output pin 14 supplies 55 mA; power draw not to exceed 50 mA
per port.
*
8x8 DVI Board
– Output pin 14 supplies 1000 mA shared total available on Output 1
through Output 4, and 270 mA shared total available on Output 5 through Output 8.
For installation information for the High-Amperage Outputs on the 8x8 DVI board, see
the instruction manual.
