Installation
System Installer must adhere to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper
grounding and specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.
Unpacking and Inspection
Each unit is shipped factory tested. Ensure all items are removed from the container prior to discarding
any packing material.
Thoroughly inspect the unit for shipping damage with particular attention to connectors and controls. If
there is any sign of damage to the unit or damaged or loose connectors contact your distributor
immediately. Do not put the equipment into service if there is any indication of defect or damage.
Hardware Installations and Connections
It is highly recommended that quality cables and connectors be used for all video and audio
source connections.
1. The unit is designed to be rack mounted in a standard EIA 19” rack.
2. The unit comes standard with HDMI, Component, and Composite video inputs. The encoder /
modulator are intelligently designed to detect the video input from the video source. HDMI
Connection: Connect the HDMI cable(s) from the video source(s) into the HDMI input(s). If
using a Component Video Cable, connect the Y (Green), Pb (Blue), and Pr (Red) video source
cable to the unit’s Component input ports. If using a Composite Video source, use a 75Ω coaxial
cable with RCA connectors to connect the video source (e.g., CATV, DVD, VCR, Camera) to the
unit’s CVBS port (IN1,IN2).
Repeat this step for each video source connection.
3. Component / Composite Audio inputs: Connect A/V audio input (Left / Right Audio) use RCA
cables to connect the audio source to the red / white AUDIO L and AUDIO R INPUT jacks
(IN1,IN2). Repeat this step for each audio source connection.
Be sure the video and audio connections for each source are consistent with the unit’s inputs
(IN1,IN2).
4. Use a quality 75Ω coaxial cable with “F” connectors from the unit’s RF OUT jack to the
distribution system (combiner or reverse splitter) or directly to a television.
5. If your device is equipped with an IP output- connect the Ethernet cable to the IP output RJ45
connector.
6. If your device is equipped with an ASI output- connect the BNC cable to the ASI output.
7. If your device is EAS equipped make the proper connections (contact replay and Video /Audio
Inputs) to the EAS device.
8. Connect the included power cord to the unit’s POWER plug.
9. Connect the power cord to an appropriately rated AC power outlet.
