SIGNAL STANDARD SELECTION
The MIR540 controller MUST be set to the proper video standard
to work correctly. The choices are NTSC (RS170/60Hz) or PAL
(CCIR/50Hz). NTSC is the common video standard for North
America while PAL is common in Europe and other parts of the
world. The factory default setting is NTSC (DIP switch number 1
off).
To set the unit for PAL operation, place the DIP switch in the
LOWER (ON) position. The RAISED (OFF) position is for NTSC
standard.
The unit must be set to the same standard as the video sources
(cameras, VCRs, etc) and the monitor.
Switches 2 through 4 are presently unused and are reserved for
future options.
CONNECTIONS
Power
Plug the small connector on the end of the power module cord into
the power input connector on the MIR540 controller. Plug the
power module into an appropriate power receptacle.
Inputs
Connect the video output from video source A to the Input A
connection on the MIR540 controller with a BNC cable.
Connect the B, C and D inputs with BNC cables as well (if used).
Outputs
Connect a video cable from the MIR540 controller to the video
monitor or other display or recording devices using either the
composite video output BNC connector, the S-Video output mini-
DIN connector, or both.

green indicator next to the power switch will light to indicate
power is on. The power switch will remember its state if
power is removed.

Pressing the A switch will change the display to show the
input A image. A Red indicator to the right of the switch will
indicate this input is selected.
Connect the B, C and D inputs with BNC cables as well (if
used).
B
Pressing the B switch will change the display to show the
input B image. A Red indicator to the right of the switch will
