SD Transcoder - Quick Start Guide - P/N S16986 RA
1. ASI output: connect the ASI cable to the rear of the SD encoder, on port 2 .
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the rear of the SD transcoder on eth0 for management and UI access .
3.a. For installations using IP outputs (with or without ASI output):
• Connect an Ethernet cable from eth2 of the main transcoder to the IP switch.
• Connect an Ethernet cable from eth2 of the SD transcoder to the same IP switch
3.b. For installations using ASI outputs only:
• Connect an Ethernet cable from eth2 of the main transcoder to eth2 of the SD transcoder .
4. Connect the power cord to the back of the SD encoder . Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet, then
