Kramer Electronics 401DXL user manual Installation, Connecting to Video Devices, Using the Machine

6INSTALLATION

6.1Rack Mounting

The Kramer 401Dxl may be rack mounted in a standard 19” (1U) EIA rack assembly, using a special TOOLS Adapter (1U or 3U) and two mounting brackets (see section 4.1). They can be also table mounted using the mounting brackets provided. These devices do not require any specific spacing above or below the unit for ventilation. To mount any of the machines, follow the installation instructions enclosed with the machine.

7CONNECTING TO VIDEO DEVICES

Video sources and output devices (such as monitors, projectors or recorders) may be connected to the machine through the BNC and/or 4P type connectors located on the back of the unit. Unused inputs are terminated to 75ohm, and active inputs should be terminated by the connecting source. All signal connections that use more than one cable interconnecting between devices should be of equal length.

8USING THE MACHINE

8.1Turning on the Machine

NOTES

1)The machine should only be turned on after all connections are completed and all source devices have been turned on. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect any video, audio or control signals to the machine while it is turned 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)Connect the machine's DC socket to the power supply (provided with the machine). Observe proper polarity! Note that the LED on the panel is illuminated.

2)Operate the source and the acceptors.

8.2Composite / YC Video Selection

Selecting either Composite or Super video as input is simply done by using the INPUT SELECTOR switch on the front of the machine. When the input selector is pressed-in, the Y/C INPUT is selected as the source (passed through.) When the switch is released, the Composite Video input is selected as the source to be decoded by the machine to Y/C.

9TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

9.1Interfacing and Switching Between Two Video Formats

The 401Dxl can be used, for example, for conversion from composite video to Y/C for studio and presentation applications as follows:

1.Connect a composite video source to the Composite IN connector of the 401Dxl.

2.Connect an Y/C acceptor to the Y/C OUT connector of the 401Dxl (Video projector, VCR, Y/C monitor etc.)

3.Connect an Y/C video source to the YC IN connector of the 401Dxl.

4.Connect the 401Dxl to an appropriate 12VDC power supply, with proper polarity.

5.Select with the INPUT SELECTOR switch whether you need the machine as decoder (Composite video input selected) or a switcher (Y/C input selected).

6.Operate sources, acceptors and the 401Dxl.
