HAPI MKII User Manual
Connecting the MADI cable
The MADI port (optional MADI Module) can be connected using either Optical or coaxial cabling.
When using Optical cabling, first ensure that you have a clean work area, as
dust and debris can affect the connection if any obstruction is present.
Remove the cap on both the cable and the port and slowly / firmly push the
cable into the receiving port on the Hapi unit until it clicks into place.
The MADI optical connector is available in Multimode or Single mode
versions. The Hapi is delivered with Multimode connectors unless specified at
ordering.
For Multimode MADI i/o Merging recommends the use of the OM1 or OM2 Category, with specifications
of 62.5/125 um or 50/125 um. OM3 and OM4 specifications are also supported since those are
improved versions of OM2. The wavelength should be 1300 nm.
When Using a Coaxial connector. Slowly bring the Male cable up to the
female port, ensuring that the pin in the centre of the male cable lines up with
the receptacle in the female port. Push the connector firmly into place and
twist the sleeve clockwise until it clicks into its locked position.
Maximum recommended cable length is 100 meters
Connecting the Wordclock input/output
The Wordclock connections on the rear of the Hapi unit are coaxial BNC’s. To
connect a Wordclock source from an external device slowly bring the Male
cable up to the female port, ensuring that the pin in the centre of the male
cable lines up with the receptacle in the female port. Push the connector
firmly into place and twist the sleeve clockwise until it clicks into its locked
position.
Connecting the Sync Cable
The Sync Cable (optional with each Hapi unit) is a DB15 cable that connects to the “SYNC” port on the
rear of the Hapi unit. The SYNC cable provides connectivity for LTC and Video Reference Input and
Output for the Hapi unit. To attach this cable to the Hapi unit, align the male connector with the female
DSUB port on the module. Then, with slight pressure, guide the connector into place. Once the cable
has been pushed into place, fasten the mounting screws on either side finger-tight.
Note: The Hapi provides Video Reference I/O Synchronization, but is not a Video reference Generator.
