Quick Start — MSG0804 and MSG0808

Installation

Step 1

Turn off power to the switcher and all other devices that will be connected.

Step 2

To rack mount the switcher, install the included brackets, then mount the switcher. Otherwise, install the four rubber feet (included) and place the switcher on a desktop.

Step 3

Using video inputs 1 through 8, attach RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, or component video to the switcher using BNC connectors (see illustration at right).

Step 4

Using audio inputs 1 through 8, attach audio inputs to the switcher with 5-pole captive screw connectors (see illustration below right).

Step 5

Connect up to four (MSG0804), or eight (MSG0808), RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, or component video output devices to the switcher using the Video BNC connections (see illustration below right).

Step 6

Connect up to four (MSG0804), or eight (MSG0808) audio output devices to the switcher using 5-pole captive screw connectors (see illustration below right).

Step 7

If the switcher is to be connected to a computer or host controller for remote control, connect the host’s RS-232 cable to a 5-pole captive

screw connector and connect it to the serial port on the switcher. Configure

the serial port for the type of control you will be using (RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485) by setting the dip switch

adjacent to the port. (See the serial port pinout table on page 2-4).
