MSC-DE1664 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-DE1664
comes with a power supply adapter, a redundant power supply and a documentation CD.
Additional cables and hardware are not usually provided.
•
Power supply adapter
– A 12 VDC 5 Amp power supply adapter is provided which is connected to the
DE-9 Male connector on the device and plugged into a 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power source.
•
Redundant power supply (Optional)
– The additional redundant power supply can be connected via
the second power supply connector, 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).
•
AES Digital Audio
– Connect AES digital audio sources to input connectors and destinations to output
connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable with BNC connectors. 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 primary 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 the power supply adapter which is
plugged into a suitable AC power source, to power it up.
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).
