1 Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Matrix Switch Corporation product. This section contains a
general overview of device functionality and provides information to get you up and running quickly.
Additional sections in this manual can be consulted for more detailed information on the subsystems and
features of this product.
1.1 Device Connections
The
MSC-FS44FL
comes with a power supply adapter and a documentation CD. Additional cables and
hardware are not usually provided.
•
Power supply adapter
– A 5 VDC 2 Amp power supply adapter is provided which is connected to the
5.5mm OD 2.5mm ID coaxial connector on the device and plugged into a 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power
source.
•
Ethernet connector (Optional)
– Connect to a network switch with an Ethernet cable. Required for
accessing the web page interface, TCP/IP Mascot interface or for interfacing with remote control panels.
This device can also be connected directly to a computer or remote panel (with a crossover Ethernet
cable).
•
SDI SFP Fiber Optic Transceivers
– The included SFP fiber optic transceivers each provide an input
and output LC type fiber optic connector. Many 3
rd
party industry standard MSA SFP transceiver
modules may also be used with this system.
•
Sync Reference (Optional)
– If switching on vertical sync pulse is desired, connect one of the Sync
Reference connectors to a sync pulse signal (NTSC, PAL or tri-level) using 75 Ohm Coax with BNC
connectors and the other Sync Reference connector can be used as a pass-through to additional properly
75 Ohm terminated equipment or a 75 Ohm terminator should be installed. If the sync reference
functionality is not used, both connectors can be left unconnected.
•
RS-232 Serial (Optional)
– If serial control is desired, using the
, connect a D9 female
to male straight through cable to a control system, such as a computer. Use 9600 bps 8N1 as the serial
configuration and enable local echo to see typed characters. See
for additional
details.
1.2 Powering Up The Device
This device is not equipped with a power switch and is simply connected to the power supply adapter which is
plugged into a suitable AC power source, to power it up.
Once the device is powered it goes through the following startup sequence:
•
5 second startup delay to allow for
•
Routing matrix is initialized to Preset 0 state (defaults to source 1 connected to all destinations).
•
The button control panel is initialized and buttons are illuminated to show the initial routing status.
1.3 Front Panel Button Interface
The MSC-FS44FL is equipped with a 4x4 button panel which provides one of several options for controlling
and viewing the status of the routing matrix.
This panel interface provides separate input and output buttons. One output button is active at a time, indicated
by it being lit. The current connection status for the active output is indicated by the relevant numbered input
