6.2 Connecting Several VM-100CA Units
You can connect several
VM-100CA
units to form an expanded video
component / audio distributor. For example, as Figure 5 illustrates
1
, connect
two
VM-100CA
units to form a 1:20 video component / audio distributor.
To connect several
VM-100CA
units, do the following
2
:
1. Connect a component video source to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT
RCA connectors on the first
VM-100CA
unit.
2. Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO LOOP RCA connectors on the first
VM-100CA
unit to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT RCA connectors
on the second
VM-100CA
unit.
3. Release the Input Term button to Hi-Z on the first
VM-100CA
unit, and
push in the Input Term button to 75 on the second
VM-100CA
unit
3
.
4. Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT connectors
4
, as follows:
On the first
VM-100CA
unit, to component video acceptors 1 to 10
On the second
VM-100CA
unit, to component video acceptors 11 to 20
5. Connect both power cords (not illustrated in Figure 5).
Figure 5: Connecting Several VM-100CA Units
1 Audio connections are not shown in this example
2 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to a VM-100CA unit. After connecting all VM-100CA units,
switch on their power and then switch on the power on each device
3 In general, when looping, the Input Term button should be set for Hi-Z for all units except for the last one in the chain
4 When less than the maximum outputs are required, connect only those outputs that are required, and leave the other outputs
unconnected
