ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The view of the rear panel shows the connections.

VIDEO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
These connections are made using standard 75
Ω
video coaxial cable. A high quality
cable such as PSF1/2 (TF3255) or PSF1/3 (TF3304) or equivalents should be used for
optimum performance. It is both important and good practice that cables are properly
supported and not hanging on the connectors as this can put unnecessary stresses on
the connectors and possibly reduce their working life.
On the Q1601-AV the four output feeds are provided on the two connectors marked OUT
1, J1 and J2. On the Q1602-AV the pair of OUT1 connectors are for the twin feeds of
Output 1 and J1 & 2 for those of Output 2.
On the Q1601-SV and Q1602-SV J2 is used for the SYNC Input, OUT 1 for the twin
feeds of the signal from Output 1 and J1 for the single feed from Output 2.
VIDEO SYNC
Analogue video routers take their switching reference signal from Input 1.
Serial Video routers have a separate terminating Sync input J2 that takes any standard
analogue video signal with standard sync. Mixed sync pulses of 2V amplitude may also
be used.
High Definition routers have a separate terminating Sync input J2 that takes either tri-
level sync or any analogue video signal with standard sync.
If no reference signal is connected then the unit will make crosspoint changes at a rate of
about 40Hz.
AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The connections of the audio signals to the equipment are made using 50 way multi-way
connectors. One input connector is used for each audio channel. The outputs are
accessible on a single D15 connector.
The matching cable connectors are all PLUG types. An accessory kit AK-0010 contains
a full set of matching halves of the audio and control connectors used on this equipment.
They are not supplied as standard because many customers prefer to buy their
connectors in bulk and prepare the cables in advance of the equipment being shipped.
