16 • Hardware Overview SRG-2200 User Guide (v6.0)
If the SRG-2200 is to be used as a Master reference (i.e. not Genlocked), you do not have to supply a signal, and
you may leave these BNCs unconnected. However, it is always wise to add a termination onto one BNC of an
unused looping pair, in order to avoid having a “floating” input.
2. Word Clock Connectors
This BNC provide output of Word Clock (48 kHz or 44.1 kHz).
3. LTC Connector
This BNC provides an LTC output.
4. DARS OUT Connector
This BNC provides a DARS output.
5. AES AUDIO OUT Connectors
These 2 BNCs provide AES Audio outputs.
6. COMPOSITE OUT Connector
This BNC provides an output of the selected Analog Composite Video Pattern. The output format can be PAL,
NTSC-M or NTSC-J.
7. TRI BLACK OUT Connectors
These three BNC provide outputs of either Analog Composite Video Black-Burst in PAL, NTSC-M or NTSC-J,
or any one of the supported Tri-Level Sync formats.
These outputs are completely independent from each other.
8. SDI 1 and SDI 2 Connectors
These two BNCs provide the selected pattern and black output in Standard Definition, High Definition or 3G
Video, in any of the supported formats. The signal format of the black output follows that of the Pattern output.
9. DIP Switches
Use the DIP switches to force the IP Address and Subnet Mask for the SRG-2200 to known values.
10.ETHERNET 100-BASE T Connector
This rear-panel connector is a standard RJ45 Ethernet connector. This connection is required for DashBoard
connectivity, NTP services, software upgrades, etc.
The 100Base-T network port is used for status and control (DashBoard). In an environment where broadcast
and/or multicast traffic is present e.g. PTP messaging, it is important to limit the number of broadcast and/or
multicast messages that reach the 100Bast-T port to a very low number. This is normally configured in the Storm
Control configuration of your network router. A limit of zero broadcast and/or multicast messages is
recommended. If this is not available then choose < 10 broadcast and/or multicast messages per second.
11.POWER Connectors
The SRG-2200 is designed to operate from an external +12V DC power source. A safety earth stud is provided
for earth bonding the chassis if you so require.
You need to provide two power connections (for the two external +12V DC Power Bricks). For full power

Physical Installation
This chapter provides instructions for installing the SRG-2200.
Before You Begin
Before installing the SRG-2200, refer to the document “Important Regulatory and Safety Notices to Service
Personnel” that accompanied your unit for general safety information.
Static Discharge
Throughout this manual, please heed the following cautionary note:
Unpacking
Unpack each SRG-2200 you received from the shipping container and ensure that all items are included. If any
items are missing or damaged, contact your sales representative or Ross Video directly.
Initial Product Inspection
Perform the following Initial Product Inspection Procedure when you receive your SRG-2200:
1. Inspect the shipping carton for external damage, which may indicate possible damage to the SRG-2200. If
damage exists, document it, including photographs, to support any insurance claim.
2. Remove the instrument from the shipping carton.
3. Check that the SRG-2200 has not been damaged in transit. The exterior should not have any scratches or
impact marks. Prior to shipment the SRG-2200 is thoroughly inspected for mechanical defects.
4. Verify that the shipping carton contains the instrument, the standard accessories, and any optional accessories
that you ordered.
5. Perform the Functional Check Procedures as outlined in the chapter “Functional Check Procedures” on
page 21 after installing the SRG-2200.
Save the shipping carton and packaging materials for SRG-2200 re-packaging in case return shipment becomes
necessary.
Operating Environment Requirements
Verify that the location of your installation has the proper operating environment. The SRG-2200 operates correctly
in ambient temperatures from 0°C to +40°C and relative humidity from 20% to 80%.
For More Information on...
• environmental operating specifications, refer to the appendix “Specifications” on page 59.
The SRG-2200 requires 50mm (2”) of side clearance for counter top use. Also, ensure sufficient rear clearance, e.g.
75mm (3”), so that cables are not compromised.
ESD Susceptibility — Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor
devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas and when
synthetic fiber clothing is worn. Always exercise proper grounding precautions when working on circuit
boards and related equipment.

The SRG-2200 does not currently have an internal fan to assist with ventilation or cooling. Therefore, when you
install the unit in an equipment bay, it is imperative that you ensure there is sufficient space all around the unit to
allow the airflow to vent away any excess heat generated by the unit.
Rack Mount Installation
You can install the SRG-2200 into an equipment rack. It is recommended to use the rack mount kit and to loom the
cables so that they do not introduce extra weight or twisting force on the front panel rack mountings or rear panel
connectors. If installed in a mobile application, the rack mount kit is essential.
This section describes how to install the SRG-2200 into the rack.
Installing the SRG-2200 into a Rack Unit
The SRG-2200 mounts in the rack cabinet by means of four screws through the front mounting flanges. This should
normally be sufficient to carry the load, including weight of cables. Refer to the SRG-2200 Quick Start Guide for
mounting details.
Installing the Rear Support Brackets
In some cases, (mobile trucks, etc.) it may be desirable to also support the rear of the SRG-2200. The rear support
bars can be attached to the SRG-2200 in six possible positions. (Figure 4.1)
Figure 4.1 Installing the Support Brackets
To install the support brackets
1. Choose the position that suits the cabinet depth and will give approximately a 0.5” projection beyond the
previously mounted bracket. The frame support bars can work with racks up to 26” deep.
2. Using four screws per bracket, as shown in Figure 4.1, attach both bars.
3. Mount the frame to the front rails of the rack cabinet using rack screws.
4. At the rear of the cabinet, slide the bracket slots over the rear of the support bars and secure to the cabinet rear
rails with rack screws.
Caution — The SRG-2200 could be damaged if it is powered on at temperatures or humidities outside
the specified ranges.
Warning — Do not use the support brackets to carry the SRG-2200. The brackets are not primarily
designed for this purpose, and property damage or personal injury may result.

Connecting Power
The SRG-2200 operates from an externally supplied +12V DC power source. A safety earth stud is provided for
earth bonding the chassis if you so require.
Your SRG-2200 includes 2 external +12V power supply block to provide you will full redundancy. Note that you
need to provide two power connections. For full power security, these should be on separate, independent and
secure power grids. However, you still gain the security of power supply failure redundancy if you use the same
power grid for both connections.
Connecting the Power Cable
Connect the power cable to the instrument first, and then connect it to the AC power source. Note that connecting a
live power cable causes the instrument to power on.
Replacing a Power Supply
Since DC power is provided from an external supply, if you need to replace a power supply, simply replace the
faulty external PSU.
Setting the Initial IP Address
The SRG-2200 is remotely controlled over an Ethernet link by a DashBoard client.
When using DashBoard to communicate with the SRG-2200, the SRG-2200 is always configured as a fixed IPv4
device using the Dashboard in conjunction with DIP switches SW1 and SW2 on the rear panel.
Configuring the DIP Switches
This section briefly summarizes the DIP Switch settings on the SRG-2200.
Figure 4.2 shows the DIP Switches in the OFF position.
