.
3.a.
For installations using IP outputs (with or without ASI output):
•
Connect an Ethernet cable from eth2 of the main transcoder to the IP switch.
•
Connect an Ethernet cable from eth2 of the SD transcoder to the same IP switch
3.b.
For installations using ASI outputs only:
•
Connect an Ethernet cable from eth2 of the main transcoder to eth2 of the SD transcoder
.
4.
