Installation and Operation

Installation Overview

To install and set up the VSC 75, follow these basic steps:

1Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the source computer, the VSC 75, and the output devices (projector, monitors) are turned off and disconnected from the power source.

2Mount the scan converter. See “Mounting the VSC 75” on page 2-2.

3Set the rear panel toggle and DIP switches. See “Rear Panel Features” on page 2-6.

4Attach the cables. See “Cabling” on page 2-7 and “Rear Panel Features” on page 2-6.

5Connect power cords and turn on all the equipment.

6The image should now appear. If not, ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving power. Check the cabling and rear panel switches, and make adjustments as needed. Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 2-11 if needed.

7Optimize the image for your display environment. See “Optimizing the Image” on page 2-10.

Mounting the VSC 75

Select tabletop placement or rack mounting. Follow the appropriate installation instructions on these two pages.

Tabletop/desktop placement

For tabletop or desktop placement only, install the self- adhesive rubber feet/pads (provided) onto the four corners of the bottom of the enclosure.

Rack mounting

1.	If feet were installed on the bottom of the VSC 75,
	remove them.
2.	Place the VSC 75 on one half of the 1U (one unit high,
	one unit wide) rack shelf (part #60-190-01). Align the
	front of the VSC 75 with the front of the shelf, and
	align the threaded holes on the bottom of the VSC 75
	with the holes in the rack shelf.
3.	Attach the VSC 75 to the rack shelf with the two
	provided 4-40 x 1/8” machine screws. Insert the

screws from the underside of the shelf, and securely fasten them into diagonally-opposite corners as shown in figure 2.

False front panel uses 2 front holes

4.	Attach the false front panel (provided with the rack
	shelf) to the unoccupied side of the rack (as shown
	above), or install a second half-rack-width device in
	that side by repeating steps 1 – 3.
5.	Attach the rack shelf to the rack using four 10-32 x ¾”
	bolts (provided). Insert the bolts through #10 beveled
	washers, then through the holes in the rack ears and
	rack, as shown above.
