Video Input Cables
Use high-quality video cables for the video inputs. Do not exceed the recommended cable lengths (see
Specifications (on page 94)).
Audio Monitoring, GPI I/O, and LTC
The stereo audio analog monitoring output and contact closure GPI I/O are all brought out to the 10 way
connector labelled Audio/MGPIO on the rear panel. A source of longitudinal timecode may be
connected to the connector marked LTC on the rear panel to synchronize on-screen clocks.
High quality screened dual-core cable is recommended for both LTC and audio.
For information on cables and connector pinout refer to Connectors and Cables (on page 105). For
information on connector types and part numbers see Specifications (on page 94).
Installing ZConfigurator
Although basic control is provided at the front panel, ZConfigurator software is required to configure
and operate the Predator
II
GX multiviewer and must be installed before use.
Installing software
To install the software, insert the ZConfigurator CD into an available CD drive. If the program does not
autorun navigate to the ZConfigurator folder on the CD and run Setup.exe. Obey the prompts when the
program installs. Accept default locations for the installation directory or enter preferred locations.
The controlling PC will need to be configured when connecting to a multiviewer for the first time.
