Technical Guide
Other Clipnet network cables are optionally available.
3 Connect the 1 GbE (RJ45) connector of the Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port
and the network Gb Switch.
This enables the ISA to communicate with the LiveTouch Server, and allows control of
the LiveTouch Server by the ISA Manager.
4 If required, connect the system reference input connector to the reference input
defined on the Server Status Summary webpage in the section Reference & System
Timecode.
5 Connect the serial port for monitoring the LiveTouch SQ2000 server as follows:
• Connect the serial input connector to monitor the status of the CPU.
6 Connect the video cables to the HD-BNC connectors of the video processing cards or,
to the .
Your connections will depend on the requirements and configuration of your system.
7 If required, connect the supplied Linear Timecode (LTC) cable between the LTC
connector and the house timecode.
The LTC input allows a timecode signal to be read by the LiveTouch Server and used as
the system timecode as an alternative to the system reference VITC.
8 An LTC cable of 1 meter in length, is supplied.
