Important Regulatory and Safety Notices to Service
Personnel
Before using this product and any associated equipment, refer to the
“Important Safety Instructions” listed in the front of your Engineering
Manual to avoid personnel injury and to prevent product damage.
Product may require specific equipment, and/or installation procedures to be
carried out to satisfy certain regulatory compliance requirements. Notices have
been included in this publication to call attention to these specific requirements.
General Handling Guidelines
• Careful handling, using proper ESD precautions, must be observed.
• Power down the system before PCB removal.
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.

Panel Row Blanks Removal • 5
Panel Row Blanks Removal
To install the new panel row, you must first remove the blank module plates
from the crosspoint buses, as well as from the module slots.
The blank module plate covering the crosspoint buses consists of the Crosspoint
Plate, and Crosspoint Plate Retainer. To remove the blank module plate, you
must first remove the Crosspoint Plate from the top of the control panel, and
then remove the Crosspoint Plate Retainer from inside the control panel.
Use the following procedure to remove the blank module plates:
1. Power down the control panel. The frame can remain on during this
procedure. Refer to your Vision switcher documentation for
information on shutting down the control panel.
2. Unplug the Primary and Redundant (if installed) power from the
control panel.
Warning Hazardous Voltage — Hazardous voltages are
present in the control panel as long as any of the power supplies
are connected to the AC power.
3. Lift up on the control panel lid to gain access to the control panel tub.
4. Remove the 8screws securing the Crosspoint Plate to the top of the
control panel (Figure 1).
Figure 1 Crosspoint Plate Screws — Vision 2X
5. Remove the Crosspoint Plate from the top of the control panel.
6. Remove the remaining 13 screws securing the Crosspoint Plate
Retainer to the control panel lid. You will need these screws when
installing the Crosspoint modules.
7. Remove the Crosspoint Plate Retainer from the control panel.

9. Remove the Retaining Bolts located at each corner of each blank
module plate and keep them in a safe place. A ¼ inch hex driver or
wrench is required.
10. Remove the blank module plates from the control panel.
This completes the procedure for removing the blank module plates. Next, you
will install the panel modules into the module slots in the control panel.

Panel Row Module Installation
The new panel row consists of a Memory module, Transition module, Keyers
module, and a series of Crosspoint modules. The number of Crosspoint modules
depends on the model of Vision control panel you have.
Memory, Transition, and Keyers Module Installation
Use the following procedure to install the Memory, Transition and Keyers
modules:
1. Locate the Memory, Transition, and Keyers module slots in the
control panel (Figure 3).
Figure 3 Module Locations — Vision 2X
Note — The layout of the modules in the top row are the same
for the Vision 2X and the Vision 4. For the Vision 3 and 3M, the
Transition module is first, followed by the Memory and the
Keyers modules.
2. Slide the module into the first module opening. On the Vision 2X and
Vision 4, this is the Memory module. On the Vision 3 and 3M, this is
the Transition module.
3. Install the Retaining Bolts located at each corner of the module to a
maximum torque of 5 in-lbs (6 cm-kg). A ¼ inch hex driver or
wrench is required.
4. Slide the module into the second module opening. On the Vision 2X
and Vision 4, this is the Transition module. On the Vision 3 and 3M,
this is the Memory module.

6. Slide the Keyers module into the third module opening.
7. Install the Retaining Bolts located at each corner of the module to a
maximum torque of 5 in-lbs (6 cm-kg). A ¼ inch hex driver or
wrench is required.
This completes the procedure for installing the Memory, Transition, and Keyers
modules. Next, you must install the Crosspoint modules.
Crosspoint Modules Installation
Use the following procedure to install the Crosspoint modules:
1. Locate the Crosspoint module slots in the control panel (Figure 4).
Figure 4 Crosspoint Module Locations — Vision 2X
Note — The Vision 3M has three Crosspoint modules, the
Vision 2X and Vision 3 control panels have four Crosspoint
modules and the Vision 4 control panel has five Crosspoint
modules.
2. Align the Crosspoint module so the Retaining Screw Holes on the
Crosspoint module line up with the mounts on the control panel top
(Figure 5). The Crosspoint module with Display can only fit into the
first slot from the center.

10 • Panel Row Module Cabling
Panel Row Module Cabling
To install the cables for the modules, you must first connect the Module Power
cables, and Module Control Link cables.
Memory, Transition, and Keyers Module Cabling
Use the following procedure to cable the Memory, Transition and Keyers
modules:
1. Connect and secure the existing Module Control Link Cable to the
PREV port on the first module c(Figure 6). This CAT5e cable with
an RJ-45 connector on either end is already installed in the control
panel.

2. Connect and secure one of the Module Control Link Cables to the
NEXT port on the first module c.
3. Connect and secure the other end of the Module Control Link Cable
to the PREV port on the second module d.
4. Connect and secure the other Module Control Link Cable to the
NEXT port on the second module d.
5. Connect and secure the other end of the Module Control Link Cable
to the PREV port on the third module e.
6. Connect and secure the existing Module Power Cable to the Power
connector on the first module (Figure 7). This 4-conductor ribbon
cable delivers power to all the modules in the row.

Mnemonic Blank Installation
The Mnemonic Blank Plate covers the slot that the mnemonics option installs
into. If you have purchased the mnemonics option for this panel row, refer to the
Mnemonics Installation Guide that came with your option for instructions on
how to install the mnemonics.
After you have installed the Mnemonic Blank Plate, or the Mnemonics, proceed
to the next section for information on setting up your panel modules.
Use the following procedure to install the Mnemonic Blank Pate:
1. Slide the Mnemonic Blank Plate into the Mnemonic Slot in the top
of the control panel (Figure 10).
Figure 10 Mnemonic Slot — Vision 2X
2. Install the Mnemonic Blank Retaining Screws, two per Crosspoint
Module, to secure the Mnemonic Blank Plate into position (Figure
11).

Panel Row Setup
With the new modules installed and cabled, the Vision switcher must be set up
to properly communicate with the new modules in the row.
Refer to your Vision Engineering Manual for information on upgrading your
Panel Module Controllers (PMCs) and assigning the modules to a panel row.
Important — When the new control panel row is added, it must
be assigned as Row 1. All the existing control panel rows must
be re-assigned, starting at Row 2.
