been included in these publications to call attention to these specific
requirements.
Important Safety Instructions
Use only manufacturer approved Power Supplies and Power Cords supplied
with this product.
The power supply adapter(s) included with this product use a protective earth
connection to reduce the risk of electrical shock to the operator and or service
personnel. A grounding conductor in the equipment's supply cord provides this
protective earth connection and must be reliably connected to a facilities
protective earth.
Do not defeat safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not fit in to your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the product’s power cord(s) and replace any cord(s) which shows signs
of physical damage or ware.
The product's power supply cord(s) is (are) used as a means to disconnect the
power supply from the AC Mains. Ensure either the appliance inlet or the mains
plug of the power supply cord, remains readily operable.
This product is designed for Indoor Use:
“WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPERATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE”.
General Handling Guidelines
• Careful handling, using proper ESD precautions, must be observed.
• Power down the system before PCB removal.

4
ESD Susceptibility — Avoid handling the switcher circuit
boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas, and
when synthetic fiber clothing is worn. Touch the frame to
dissipate static charge before removing boards from the frame,
and exercise proper grounding precautions when working on
circuit boards.
Environmental Information
The equipment that you purchased required the extraction and use
of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous
substances that could impact health and the environment.
To avoid the potential release of those substances into the environment and to
diminish the need for the extraction of natural resources, Ross Video encourages
you to use the appropriate take-back systems. These systems will reuse or
recycle most of the materials from your end-of-life equipment in an
environmentally friendly and health conscious manner.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use these systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems,
please contact your local or regional waste administration.
You can also contact Ross Video for more information on the environmental
performances of our products.

Auxiliary Control Panel Cabling
Once the Auxiliary Control Panel is installed, the next step is to connect the
communications and power cables.
Each Auxiliary Control Panel (Figure 7) has connections for a primary (PS1)
and secondary (PS2) power supply, a 25-pin GPI (GPI), and two RJ-45
communications ports (PREV and NEXT).
Figure 7 Auxiliary Control Panel Cable Connectors
Communications Cabling
The Auxiliary Control Panel can be cabled as an Internal panel row or an
External panel row, depending on the functionality you want. Refer to your
Vision documentation for more information on panel rows.
Depending on whether you cable the Auxiliary Control Panel for Internal or
External Panel Row operation, you are restricted to the number of Auxiliary
Control Panels you can connect together (Table 2).
Internal Panel Row Assignment
Assign the Auxiliary Control Panel to an Internal Panel Row if you need menu
follows and double-press actions. Actions such as double-pressing a crosspoint

button to assign a Color Corrector to that video source must be done on an
Internal Panel Row.
Use the following procedure to cable the switcher to an Auxiliary Control Panel
for Internal Panel Row operation:
1. Connect and secure one end of the Aux Control Cable to the NEXT
port on the back of the Touchscreen Display of the control panel.
Note — If a Touchscreen Display is not connected to the Vision control
panel, connect the Aux Control Cable to External Link Port 1.
2. Connect and secure the other end of the Aux Control Cable to the
PREV port on the Auxiliary Control Panel (Figure 8).

This completes the procedure for cabling the switcher to an Auxiliary Control
Panel for Internal Panel Row operation.
External Panel Row Assignment
Assign the Auxiliary Control Panel to an External Panel Row if you do not need
menu follows. Refer to your Vision documentation for more information on
menu follows.
Use the following procedure to cable the switcher to an Auxiliary Control Panel
for External Panel Row operation:
1. Connect and secure one end of the Aux Control Cable to External
Link Ports 2, 3, or 4on the control panel.
Note — If the OverDrive Production Control System is set up with the
switcher, you cannot assign an Auxiliary Control Panel to External Link
Port 2.
2. Connect and secure the other end of the Aux Control Cable to the
PREV port on the Auxiliary Control Panel (Figure 9).

Power Cabling
Use the following procedure to cable power to an Auxiliary Control Panel:
1. Connect and secure one 12V DC Power Supply to the PS1 connector
on the back of the Auxiliary Control Panel.
Caution — Always connect the 12V DC Power Supply to the Auxiliary
Control Panel before connecting the AC mains power. Connecting the
power supply to the AC mains power before connecting to the Auxiliary
Control Panel could damage the Auxiliary Control Panel.
2. If purchased, connect and secure the second 12V DC Power Supply
to the PS2 connector on the back of the Auxiliary Control Panel.
3. Connect additional Auxiliary Control Panels as required. For each
additional Auxiliary Control Panel, connect and secure an Aux
Control Cable between the NEXT port on the first Auxiliary Control
Panel and the PREV port on the next Auxiliary Control Panel in the
chain.
Note — The maximum number of Auxiliary Control Panels that can be
chained together depends on the size of the Auxiliary Control Panel
(Table 2).
4. Connect the power cables into the appropriate AC outlets.
This completes the procedure for cabling power to an Auxiliary Control Panel.
