2.5 Connections

Margay has four groups of connectors. All inputs are paired with loop-thru outputs (except RS232 In). The inputs are toward the rear of the Margay.

Analog and digital connectors

Two analog connectors and one digital (DVI) con- nector have their separate loop-thru outputs. The Analog outputs (buffered) always carry the corre- sponding analog input picture.

The digital output is different. The digital output carries a digitized version of the selected input. If you change the active input in the Picture menu, the digi- tal output changes.

•See 2.5.1 “Connections, Analog & Digital Sources” on page 22.

Video connectors

Video connections are optional. The Video Input Module (VIM) is not installed at the factory; it is installed in the field by the installer. When installed, the VIM accepts composite, S-video and component video (YPbPr). Each input connector is paired with its separate loop-thru output.

•See 2.5.2 “Connections, Video Sources” on page 24.

Control connectors

You can control the Margay with a remote control or with serial commands from a computer or other device. Send commands in either the RS232 or RS485 standard.

Normally, you send RS232 commands to one Mar- gay’s RS232 In and loop out the RS485 Out to the next cube’s RS485 In.

RS485 has better long-distance communication.

•See 2.5.4 “Connections, Control: RS232 & RS485” on page 28.

Power

AC power (115V or 230V) can be looped thru to neighboring cubes. The limit on loop-thru is

•4 Margays when using 115V;

•8 Margays when using 230V. The power supply is auto-ranging.

• 8 cubes when using 230V.

No more than 4
