Connecting the MMC/9Pin+ Interface
1. Connect the supplied power supply. The power supply is rated
at 9 volts DC at 500 mA. Center is positive.
2. Connect MIDI In and MIDI Out to the source of MMC
commands. If the source of MMC commands is a computer
software package, connect the MIDI In and MIDI Out to the
computer’s MIDI interface.
3. Connect the 9 Pin connector of the MMC/9Pin+ Interface to
the 9 Pin connector input of the 9 Pin device. Use a standard 9
Pin D-sub connector cable. Do not use a null modem cable.
4. Connect black burst or video sync the BNC connector on the
rear of the MMC/9Pin+ Interface. The unit must have a stable
source of video sync. While a composite video signal may
work, we cannot guaranty that it will work in all cases. This
should not be connected to a source of SMPTE time code.
5.
Optionally, connect the SMPTE output of the MMC/9Pin+
Interface to the SMPTE input of additional slave devices. This
connection may be made through a distribution amp if multiple
outputs are needed.
Communications
Apply power to the MMC/9Pin+ Interface by pressing the power
switch. Power is indicated by a lit LED next to the power switch.
The green LED on the right of the front panel indicates sync
activity on the MMC/9PIN+ Interface. If you see the green light,
then your module is transmitting timecode on the SMPTE output.
