Once the Cheetah Video Matrix Switcher is installed in the equipment rack, the associated system
connections can be completed. Use the following guide to insure that Cheetah Switcher system
interconnections are properly connected and that the control, power, sync, and video cables are
correctly installed (for further detailed information, refer to the corresponding sub-section in this
Chapter).
1. Connect the external sync sources to the reference inputs using Belden 8281 coaxial cable or
equivalent. Be sure to properly terminate the external sync sources into 75
Ω
.
2. Connect the primary external computer to the COM 1 Connector using a 9-pin, RS-232
cable. Please note that this connection
must
be made to configure the internal System
Controller using the 3500 Series Control System software package. If a secondary external
computer is to be used, connect it to the COM 2 Connector.
3.
If additional Cheetah Switchers are to be utilized as part of the switching matrix, connect the
PRC Loop jack on the primary Cheetah Switcher to PRC Loop jack on the other Cheetah
Switcher using 5-pin ribbon cables.
4.
If an external controller (such as the 3500 Series System Controller) is used to control the
Cheetah Switcher, connect the external controller to COM 3 PRC using 9-pin RS-422 cable.
5.
Connect the RCP control panels to the RCP Panel Ports (#1 and/or #2) using twisted pair
cables while observing polarity (refer to Chapter 5). The connections to the control panel
may be daisy-chained.
6.
If Ethernet connectivity is desired (system controller), connect a 10baseT RJ-45 LAN
connector to the System Controller Ethernet jacks.
7.
Configure the Ethernet settings as described in the Appendix.
8.
If SNMP management of additional Cheetah Switchers is to be utilized, connect the
switchers using the Frame Controller Ethernet connectors.
9.
Configure the Ethernet and SNMP settings as described in the Appendices.
11. If desired, connect an external alarm to the System Control Alarm (for further connection
compliance information, refer to Chapter 8 for connector pin-outs).
12. If desired, connect an external alarm to the Frame Control Alarm (for further connection
compliance information, refer to Chapter 8 for connector pin-outs).
13. Connect the video sources to the video inputs using Belden 8281 coaxial cable or equivalent
75
Ω
coaxial cable.
14. Connect the video outputs to the video destinations using Belden 8281 coaxial cable or
equivalent.
