NAVE II Quick Installation Guide
Planning
Before installing the NAVE II Unit, determine the:
• Correct feed for the encoder (label on top of unit will have the feed and SID #
this unit has been assigned to)
• Installation Location
• Type of video interface (259M or 292M)
• Video format
• Type of audio interface (AES or SDI embedded)
• Audio groupings (5.1, stereo, or mono), referred to as clusters in the NAVE II
• Assignment of clusters to AES Audio pairs (Discrete AES or SDI embedded
Audio)
Installation
Figure 1 - NAVE II Front Panel
Figure 2 - NAVE II Rear Panel
1 Install NAVE II in rack using the rear support brackets supplied.
2 Connect power cord to 110/120 VAC outlet.
3 Connect incoming video to both Program Video In and Bypass In. Should the
unit switch to bypass, it will internally connect Bypass In to Program Out.
It is imperative that Bypass Video be wired
to the NAVE II. Failure to do so will result
in a loss of video when the unit is manually
or automatically (internal fault detection)
switched to Bypass Mode.

check Port A LED to see if it flashes green with each keystroke. If there is no
flash indication on the Port A LED, verify that the RS232 cable is attached to
