MSC-5-3248 Product Manual
1 Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Matrix Switch Corporation product. This section contains a
general overview of device functionality and provides information to get you up and running quickly.
Additional sections in this manual can be consulted for more detailed information on the subsystems and
features of this product.
1.1 Device Connections
The
MSC-5-3248
comes with an internal AC power supply, a redundant power supply (if ordered) and a
documentation CD. Additional cables and hardware are not usually provided.
•
Internal AC power supply
– This router is powered by an internal power supply. Models sold in the
USA are configured to run on 110V 60Hz AC power. Models sold elsewhere are pre-configured for the
particular native power source of the region where it was sold. Make sure the proper power source is
used for the device.
•
Redundant power supply (Optional)
– The additional redundant power supply can be connected via
the second power supply connector (if applicable), to provide an additional power source in the event
that one of the supplies fails or is disconnected from the power source.
•
Ethernet connector (Optional)
– Connect to a network switch with an Ethernet cable. Required for
accessing the web page interface, TCP/IP Mascot interface or for interfacing with remote control panels.
This device can also be connected directly to a computer or remote panel (with a crossover Ethernet
cable).
•
VGA Video
– Connect VGA video sources to input connectors and destinations to output connectors
using standard D15 VGA connector cables. Unused inputs or outputs can be left unconnected.
•
External Audio Router (Optional)
– An additional Matrix Switch Corporation AES or analog audio
router can be utilized with this router by connecting it to the AFV connector with a 25 pin straight
through cable.
NOTE:
The audio router should be powered on before the video router to ensure proper
initial routing state or alternatively Preset 0 can be recalled to initialize it at any time.
•
Sync Reference (Optional)
– If switching on vertical sync pulse is desired, connect one of the Sync
Reference connectors to a sync pulse signal (NTSC, PAL or tri-level) using 75 Ohm Coax with BNC
connectors and the other Sync Reference connector can be used as a pass-through to additional properly
75 Ohm terminated equipment or a 75 Ohm terminator should be installed. If the sync reference
functionality is not used, both connectors can be left unconnected.
•
RS-232 Serial (Optional)
– If serial control is desired, using the
, connect a D9 female
to male straight through cable to a control system, such as a computer. Use 9600 bps 8N1 as the serial
configuration and enable local echo to see typed characters. See
for additional
details.
1.2 Powering Up The Device
This device is not equipped with a power switch and is simply connected to a suitable AC power source.
Once the device is powered it goes through the following startup sequence:
•
5 second startup delay to allow for
•
Routing matrix is initialized to Preset 0 state (defaults to source 1 connected to all destinations).
