Voltage
Ensure that the supply voltage available at the installation site meets the voltage range of the
equipment.
The power cable should only be connected to a correctly grounded source.
Do not use any adapters.
Never bypass a ground contact.
Only use the power cables provided with the equipment.
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the
product’s label
When you remove a power cable never pull on the cable itself but on the connector. A damaged cable
could lead to shocks or burns.
Only use extension cords that are 3 poled and grounded. The power cables are equipped with 3 pole
connectors in order to minimize the risk of an electric shock.
Danger
Non-observance can lead to electrical shock.
Do not open the chassis.
Environment
Never place the Frame in an area of high dust particles or humidity.
Operating temperature of the system: -5°C – +40°C.
Never place containers with any liquids on top of the Frame.
If the equipment has been exposed to a cold environment and transferred to a warm environment,
condensation may form inside the housing. Wait at least 6 hours before applying any power to the
equipment.
Ventilation
Do not place the Frame next to a heat source, f.i. a radiator. Ventilation openings on the left and right
side of the Frame must never be blocked. Please also note that, in case of a rack installation.
CE Declaration of Conformity
The MediorNet devices conform to the EU guideline
EMC 2004 / 108 / EG
Low - Voltage 2006 / 95 / EC
as attested by the CE mark.

Laser Safety
The MediorNet system is a Laser class 1M product.
Caution
A Class 1M laser is safe for all conditions of use except when passed through
magnifying optics such as microscopes and telescopes. Class 1M lasers produce large-
diameter beams, or beams that are divergent. The MPE for a Class 1M laser cannot
normally be exceeded unless focusing or imaging optics are used to narrow the beam.
If the beam is refocused, the hazard of Class 1M lasers may be increased and the
product class may be changed. A laser can be classified as Class 1M if the total output
power is below class 3B but the power that can pass through the pupil of the eye is
within Class 1.
Do not view directly with optical instruments into the beam.
Battery Safety
The XSS Cards are fitted with the following battery: Lithium Battery, type CR2032.
Warning
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by any other incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Do not expose to high
storage temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
Disposal
Disposal of old Electrical & Electric Equipment (Applicable throughout the European Union and other
European countries with separate collection programs).
This symbol, found on your product or on its packaging, indicates that this product
should not be treated as household waste when you wish to dispose of it. Instead, it
should be handed over to an applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will
help prevent potential negative consequences to the environment and human health,
which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate disposal of this product. The
recycling of materials will help to conserve natural resources. For more detailed
information about the recycling of this product please contact your local city office.

1.3 About MediorNet
MediorNet unleashes the true potential of fiber-optic signal transport, which will finally result in a complete
new philosophy for broadcast, event, stadium or campus installations.
signal transport
signal routing
signal processing and conversion into one integrated real-time network solution
MediorNet is not designed just for simple point-to-point links, it offers a real network solution. This includes
signal routing, allowing the user to send any incoming signal to any output or even to multiple outputs by
just a mouse-click or, even more convenient, controlled by a router control system.
Each MediorNet-Modular Frame provides a router for 32x32 720p/1080i signals, 160x160 SD-SDI signals,
27.000x27.000 AES signals or any combination of these.
With a network bandwidth of 50 Gbit/s MediorNet Compact provides enough capacity for bidirectional
transport of 12 HD-SDI signals, dozens of MADI streams or Gbit-Ethernet signals, hundreds of Audio channels
or intercom ports – ideal for streamlining the infrastructure of any mobile, studio or live event application.
MediorNet also includes broadcast-quality processing and conversion on board. These features are software-
based so they can easily be expanded in the future without any changes to the hardware. Ultimately this will
eliminate the need for external devices. All this results in a completely new approach to production
environments, providing significant savings in infrastructure investments.
