Considerations for mounting location include proximity to signal sources/destinations, availability
of primary power and availability of a source of external sync.
Mount the chassis frame in an equipment rack and secure frame to rack using four rack mount
screws.
Do not apply power until all external connections are made and verified.

The Integrity CS A2HD516 is a self-contained format converter
and audio embedder/de-embedder. It accepts an input of
composite (NTSC/PAL) analog video or SD-SDI digital video
and produces outputs of HD-SDI, SD-SDI and option outputs
selectable as SD-SDI or composite analog.
The included side-column keyer accepts an input of HD SDI
video.
Inputs are provided for both AES and analog audio sources for
embedding. De-embedded audio is available as both AES
pairs and analog, selectable from any de-embedded channel

Your Integrity CS Series processing product requires installation of rear panel jumpers for proper
operation. These jumper cables are removed for shipping, but are included in the package with
the processor.
Refer to the following figure, and perform the steps to install these necessary jumper cables prior
to use of the processor.
!! NOTE !!
Your Integrity CS Processor WILL NOT function unless these connections are completed.
Your Integrity CS A2HD516 is composed of a 1RU rack frame with a power supply and three
processing modules, installed in card slots on the rear of the chassis. An illustration of the rear
panel layout is shown below.
In most installations, the processor control panel is installed directly to the chassis frame. If
your system is equipped with the remote panel option, a blank front panel with status LEDs is
attached to the chassis. Whether local or remote, the control panel layout is as shown in the
illustration below.

Locate supplied coaxial cable jumper and supplied Ethernet cable jumper shipped with your
Integrity processor.
Install coaxial jumper between connector labeled Output (OUT) 2 on frame sync module and
connector labeled Input (IN) 2 on format converter module. Refer to figure when installing this
cable.
If you are using the LOCAL control panel on the front of the frame to control this unit, install
Ethernet cable jumper between the two Ethernet (RJ45) port connectors on rear panel of
processor. If you are using a REMOTE control panel over the facility LAN, use an Ethernet switch
or hub to provide an active network connection to BOTH rear panel Ethernet ports.

!! NOTE !!
Your A2HD516 Processor is shipped from the factory with the UDC operating mode selected.
This mode allows the processor to function as an analog or SD-SDI to HD converter
WITHOUT using the included side column keyer function.
If you wish to use the side column keyer, you MUST provide an HD input signal for use as the
keyer insert video source, and you MUST change the processor to the UCP operating mode as
shown in Step 8 of this guide. If UCP is selected as the operating mode and an HD signal is
not applied to the key video input connector, the A2HD516 WILL NOT function properly!!
