NOTE:

When looking at the MD7x2, pin 1 is the top-right pin on the connector. Pin

15 is located on the bottom-left of the connector.

QM IN

The MD7x2 contains two QM input ports for connecting QM sources. These ports
are designated as inputs 6 and 7. Each QM port has an RJ-45 port for QM signals and
a corresponding 4-position mini-terminal block connector for Cresnet control signals.

For wiring information, refer to “QuickMedia Wiring” on page 15 and “Network
Wiring” on page 14.

NOTE:

When transmitting S-video, luminance uses the green video pathway, and

chrominance uses the red video pathway. When transmitting composite video, the
signal is carried on the blue video pathway.

NOTE:

Use Crescat-QM, or good quality CAT5E / CAT6 cable to make QM

connections. The cumulative skew over the entire length must be less than 15 ns.
Refer to “QuickMedia Wiring” on page 15 for cable specifications.

NOTE:

When using Crescat-QM wiring, four additional wires are included for

making Cresnet connections. Refer to “QuickMedia Wiring” on page 15 for cable
specifications.
