A 3-prong AC connector allows power to be
supplied to the unit. Directly underneath this
connector, a fuse holder houses the appropriate
fuse.
INSTALLATION
Rack Mounting
The matrix switcher described in this manual may be rackmounted in a standard 19” EIA rack assembly
and includes rack “ears” at the ends of the front panel. The device does not require spacing above or
below the unit for ventilation. To rack mount the matrix switcher, simply place the unit’s rack ears
against the rack rails of the rack, and insert standard screws through each of the four corner holes in the
rack ears.
CONNECTING TO VIDEO DEVICES
Video sources and output devices (such as monitors, or recorders) may be connected to the matrix
switchers through the BNC type connectors located on the back of the unit. Bear in mind that the output
signal format will match that of the input signal format.
All signal connections that use more than one cable interconnecting between devices should be of equal
length. (Example: cables between a camera and the machine should be equal in length).
CONNECTING TO AUDIO DEVICES
Audio sources and output devices (such as amplifiers or recorders) may be connected to the machines
through the terminal block connectors located at the back of the machines.
