VIDEO SPLITTERS
The procedure to install either the
S-Video Splitter-8 (AC043A) or the
Composite Splitter-8 (AC044A) is
the same unless specifically noted.
3.1 Preparation
Place your Video Splitter on a flat
surface. For a permanent instal-
lation, you may want to use a
rackmount tray (RM001 or RM002).
You can place up to two (2) units
side by side on the tray.
In a table top installation, a mini-
mum of 3 inches is required behind
the unit in order to connect the
input signal and the output signals
to your monitor.
With multiple video outputs, you
may want to consider placing the
your Video Splitter as close as
possible to the video monitors
in order to conserve wire. It is
important that the video cables
meet your local safety and
community building codes.
3.2 Input Signal Connection
Using the appropriate cable,
connect your video source to
the back-panel connector labeled
“INPUT.”
• AC043 uses the S-Video cable with
4 pin mini-DIN connectors. When
installing the cables, be sure that
the small pins in the mini-DIN
connector are not bent or
damaged prior to inserting
them into the jack on your Video
Splitter. Align the cable connector
with the plastic key down.
• AC044 uses standard video cable
(ETN59) with BNC connectors.
When installing the cables, be
sure that the BNC cable connector
has been turned clockwise to its
locking position.
