ATTENTION:

Do not tin the wires. For best results and to reduce the risk of short circuits, trim just 3/16 inch (5 mm) of the jacket from the wires. If it is any longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If it is any shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

Always use a power supply supplied by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium or desk.

The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar structure.

NOTE: Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.

B3G-SDI Input — Connect an input device to the 3G-SDI input connector. The incoming SDI signal is automatically detected and equalized.

Input equalization will allow signal transmission distances as follows:

SDI:

Up to 1400 feet (426 m) using RG6 cable

HD-SDI:

Up to 600 feet (182 m) using RG6 cable

3G-SDI:

Up to 500 feet (152 m) using RG6 cable
