Connecting

Connecting the SloMo Mini is straightforward.  Connect the large 25 pin D-
Sub connector to the rear of the SloMo Mini.  Secure the connector the 
SloMo Mini by screwing the lock screws into the connector.  Connect each 
video device or video server to the smaller 9 pin D-Sub connectors.  Some 
video servers have more than one connector, which allow simultaneous 
control of the recorder and player.  In these cases, connect each port to its 
own connector on the SloMo Mini. 

Lastly, connect the SloMo Mini to a source of power.  This can be either 
from the power mains using the provided power supply or directly from 9-12 
volts DC.  The connector is a 2.1mm coaxial power connector.  The center 
pin is positive.  A power switch on the rear panel turns the SloMo Mini on or 
off.
