Mount the switcher on a 6" or 9.5" deep rack shelf, if desired.

Connect up to four video inputs to the switcher’s BNC input connectors 1 through 4.

Connect one or two video output devices to the switcher’s BNC output connectors (SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI).

(Optional) Wire the provided 3-pole captive screw plug to your RS-232 cable, and connect the other end of the cable to your computer. (See “Rear Panel Connections,” later in this chapter.)

Power up the input and output devices.

Plug the provided power cord into the switcher’s IEC power connector and into an AC outlet.

Rack Mounting

The 1U high, half rack width, SW4 3G HD-SDI switcher can be mounted on a rack shelf or placed on a tabletop. For optional rack mounting, use any of the following rack shelves:

•1U, 6" deep Universal Rack Shelf Kit, part #60-190-10(RSU 126)

•1U, 6" deep Basic Rack Shelf, part #60-604-11(RSB 126)

•1U, 9.5" deep Universal Rack Shelf Kit, part

#60-190-01, (RSU 129)

•1U, 9.5" deep Basic Rack Shelf, part #60-604-02(RSB 129)

UL rack mounting guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the safe installation of the switcher on a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the switcher in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
