Installation & Setup

Depending on the signal type (e.g., component signals), you may need to attach corresponding input and output connectors on more than one enclosure to route the entire signal. For example, FIG. 13 shows three BNC cable connectors attached for routing a three-component signal through Input 1. Follow the “Octaire AutoPatch Connector Guide” (page 96) to ensure correct routing.

Installing Color Bands for Signal Types

Before attaching input and output video cables, we recommend installing the applicable color band (a set of colored bands ship with the system) on the first input BNC connector of each enclosure. The color bands help to easily identify the signal type supported by each enclosure when attaching input and output cables and when linking multiple-enclosure systems.

For the signal type to colored band correspondence, see the table below.

Connecting Video Cables

Before connecting all input and output video cables (and, if applicable, wires for stereo), attach the cables (and wires) for the first source and first destination devices only and execute a test switch (see page 30). When the test switch is successful, attach the rest of the input and output cables (and wires).

Tip: Using lacer bars or some other type of cable management system lessens the strain from cable weight on the connectors and makes servicing the Octaire easier.

To connect video inputs and outputs:

1.Fasten the cables onto the input and output BNC connectors (FIG. 14).

Service Access Spacing between connectors

Tip: Cable up or down using the waterfall method to take advantage of the Service Access Spacing feature on the Octaire.
