6INSTALLATION

6.1Rack Mounting

Each of the Matrix Switchers described in this manual may be rackmounted in a standard 19” (1U) EIA rack assembly and includes rack “ears” at the ends of the front panel. These devices do not require spacing above or below the unit for ventilation. To rack mount any of the Matrix Switchers, simply place the unit’s rack ears against the rack rails of the rack, and insert standard screws through each of the four corner holes in the rack ears.

7CONNECTING TO VIDEO DEVICES

Video sources and output devices (such as monitors, or recorders) may be connected to the Matrix Switchers through the BNC type connectors located on the back of the unit. Bear in mind that the output signal format will match that of the input signal format.

All signal connections that use more than one cable interconnecting between devices should be of equal length. (Example: cables between a camera and the machine should be equal in length).

8CONNECTING TO AUDIO DEVICES

Audio sources and output devices (such as amplifiers or recorders) may be connected to the machines through the RCA type connectors (CVG-808XL, CVG-606XL).

9USING THE MACHINES

9.1Powering on the Machine

NOTES

1.The machine should only be powered on, after all connections are completed, and all source devices have been powered on. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect any video, audio or control signals to the machine while it is powered on!

2.The socket-outlet should be near the equipment and should be easily accessible. To fully disconnect equipment, remove power cord from socket.

1.Press the toggle switch on the far left-hand side of the front panel to the ON position. The toggle switch glows.

2.Operate the acceptors.

9.2Using the Front Panel Controls

The front panels of CVG Matrix Switcher are designed to be simple to operate, and accomplish the basic function of selecting an input source and output device.

9.2.1Selecting an Output

Output selection on the Matrix Switchers is made by pressing any of the buttons marked “1” through “8” (CVG- 808XL), or "1" to "6" (CVG-606XL) on the front panel. These buttons correspond to output connections as marked on the back panel.
