Do not tin
the wires!

Step 4 — Connect Outputs from MTP/HDMI U R 

Digital video — Connect a display to the HDMI  
connector for digital video output.
Analog video — Connect the analog outputs as 
shown at right.
Audio — Connect a suitable audio device, such as 
powered speakers, to the 5-pole captive screw audio 
output connector for a balanced or unbalanced, dual 
mono audio signal. Wire connector as shown at right.

 

 
 

NOTE:

 

The audio signal is detected on the MTP input and then is distributed to the audio connector for output.

RS-232 control (digital side) — Connect a serial communications port on a display device to the 
3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connector (labeled RS-232 pass-thru) for pass-through RS-232 
bidirectional communication. Wire the connector as shown at right.

NOTE:

 

The RS-232 control port on the analog side is not used in the MLS 608 D system.

Step 5 — Connect Control Devices

RS-232 control — Connect a host computer or control system (such 
as an optional MLC 226) to the 5-pin connector (see 

m

 

on page 1) 

for MLS switcher configuration and control via RS-232 using 
Extron software or Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands. 
Wire the MLS as shown at right.

NOTE:

 

This serial port is independent of the front panel 
configuration port. Both may be used for MLS control.

RS-232 protocol (default values):  

• 38400 baud •1 stop bit • no parity • 8 data bits • no flow control

NOTE:

 

The ‘+’ and ‘-’ pins on this connector can be used to 
power a controller, for example an MLC 226 IP and a 
connected IRCM-DV+.

RS-232 Insert port (optional) — Connect an optional control 
device (for example an MLC 226 IP via the RS-232 display control port)  
to the 5-pin connector (see 

n

 on page 1)

 

for pass through RS-232  

communication to a connected projector or display device.  
Wire the connection as shown at right.

Step 6 — Connect Power

MLS 608 D — Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 110 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power  
source into the receptacle (see 

a

 

on page 1).

Optional — Connect the 2-pole power connector (see 

e

 

on page 1) for remote power to an 

MTP transmitter or receiver. Wire the connection as shown at right. 
Optional — Connect the “+” and ”-” pins on the RS-232 connector (see 

m

 

on page 1) for remote 

power to an optional controller (such as the MLC 226). See second note, step 4 above

.

MTP/HDMI U R — Connect the 2-pole 3.5 millimeter captive screw connector from the 12 VDC, 
1.0 A external power supply (provided) to this receptacle on the rear panel, or connect to the 2-pole 
power connector (see 

e

 

on page 1) on the MLS 608 D. Wire connector as shown at right.

For both devices, when power is applied the front panel power LED lights.
