Connections, Power-On and Initial Setup
Plug the power supply into an AC power source (100-240 V @ 50/60 Hz). Attach the Power connector to the Distribution
Amplifier. Connect the required cables for video signal input and output (Power must be applied to the V-IO DISTRIBUTION
AMPLIFIER for the device to function if the internal battery has not been fully charged). Video will automatically be detected and
passed through the device.
Input / Output Connections
Input
Distribution amplifier’s signal input. Please see the
Supported Formats section for a list of formats that are
suitable for signal distribution.
Out
[
Outputs
]
Distribution amplifier’s output.
Power Input
Power input for the V-IO distribution amplifier. Use the DC
power supply provided, or another device with the same
voltage, current and polarity listed on the device. When the
power supply provides 5VDC, the internal battery will
charge and the BATTERY LED will turn
green
. When fully
charged, the distribution amplifier will run only on the
external power supply. The internal battery allows the
distribution amplifier to run without a connection to an
external power supply for approximately ~ 3-5 hours.
When running from the battery, the BATTERY LED will turn
orange
when the battery is at less than 75% capacity, and
red
when under 10% capacity.
Power Switch
Turning the Power switch to ON turns on the internal SDI
distribution system and charges the internal battery.
When t he switch is turned to OFF, ONLY the battery will
charge. The device will direct all available power to
charging the battery in the OFF state.
[Signal]
LOCK indicator
Use the LOCK indicator to determine if the V-IO distribution
amplifier has locked on to the input signal for distribution.
The LED light will turn
blue
if a signal is locked AND the
POWER switch is turned to ON.
