Connecting the Extender Assembly
Each extender unit is factory-preset and labeled to connect to either a camera or a framegrabber (
Figure 1
).
Each unit, in order to work properly, must be connected to the device for which it was preset and labeled.
NOTE
If you reconfigure your extender for a different device, relabel the extender to avoid future confusion.

Once you have checked the labeling, you can connect each extender as explained below.
•
Device end: Attach the correct device (camera or framegrabber) to the extender’s MDR26 connector.
•
Cable end: Attach the correct cable to the extender’s cable connectors.
