INSTALLATION
1. Connect the component A/V sources into the input connectors of the switcher.
2. Connect the switchers A/V outputs directly to local displays or use any of
Binary’s™ extenders for remote displays.
3. Power on the input sources.
4. Connect the power supply into the switcher and turn on the display you want to watch.
5. Use the IR remote to select the desired input source. An RS232 port is available for
additional control when using third party integration systems.
NOTE: IR commands will not send out a message on the serial port as status changes.
When writing 2-way drivers, please pull the status regularly as to ensure the control
system accurately reflects the current settings.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1.No Video:
• Ensure the power switch is on.
• Confirm that the correct source is routed to the correct output.
• Confirm that the source is powered on and connected to the correct input.
• Confirm that the source is outputting a signal (using the Source Status LED)
on the front of the unit.
• Confirm the TV is on the correct input.
2. Poor Video (hum bars in picture, picture distortion, noise in picture)
• The #1 cause of poor video quality is low-quality interconnects. Never use the
interconnect cables that are included with DVD players, cable boxes, etc, as they
are very susceptible to EMI and noise. We highly recommend using Binary™ Cables,
which are designed for this application.
• Confirm that the source is outputting video at the correct levels. You can try to bypass
the switcher and connect the display directly to the source and confirm the source is
outputting a clean signal
• Confirm that the connections between the TV and the switcher are good.
• If using a Balun, confirm that the CAT-5 is terminated with TIA-568b standards on
both sides. You can also bypass the switcher by connecting the source directly to
the Balun to ensure the noise is not an interference issue with the CAT5 or the Balun.
• Confirm that the power for the switcher and source gear is clean and is not sharing a
circuit with noisy devices (ceiling fans, refrigerators, florescent lights, etc)
• Some homes that do not have adequate grounding can have ground loops between
different circuits. In these cases, you can try to use a ground lift at the TV to eliminate
ground loop issues that can create noise in Video.
