avoid conducting static electricity to any inputs or outputs including video, audio,

and RS232.

SECTION 2. INSTALLATION

2.1 INTRODUCTION

This section provides the information required for installation of the SDI8x8

into its operating environment.

2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Unpack the SDI8x8 carefully and verify that the serial number matches the

number quoted on the packing list. Before installing it into a system, check the

outside of the unit carefully for signs of damage and check that none of the fasteners

have come loose.

Check that the power module is also present and marked for use with the SDI8x8

product. The SDI8x8 uses a +5 volt supply with center pin positive.

DO NOT USE ANY OTHER POWER SUPPLY WITH THE SDI8x8.

Units are shipped with a memory-backed program microprocessor chip which

retains the routing crosspoint information when power is off.

2.3 INSTALLATION

The SDI8x8 is designed to be mounted in a standard 19” rack panel; it is 5.25

inches, or three standard units, high.

Choose a space in the rack which is convenient for all the cables and mount the

unit using standard rack bolts. Connect the output of the SDI8x8 power unit to the

power connector at the right rear (as viewed from the back of the panel) of the

SDI8x8 and plug the power unit into a grounded AC power outlet of the voltage and

frequency specified on the power unit. There is no power switch on the SDI8x8; it

is designed to be ON at all times. (If it is desirable to have the SDI8x8 powered down

regularly, connect the power module to a switchable AC power strip.)

2.4 VIDEO CONNECTIONS

Connect up to eight SDI video sources to the input BNC connectors marked

VIDEO INPUT. Inputs are automatically terminated in 75 ohms. An Input Carrier

Detect LED will light for each valid SDI input.

Connect up to eight SDI destinations to the eight BNC connectors marked

OUTPUT. Be sure that all destination devices are terminated at 75 ohms. When a

valid input signal has been routed to an output, the CD LED and the Data Rate LED

for that output will light.

Do not connect a SOURCE of video to any of the video OUTPUT connectors.
