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 HDT 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, IN3, IN4 depending on your model).
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, IN3, IN4 depending on your model). 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, IN3, IN4 depending on your model).
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.
