Rear Panel Connections

CAUTION

Use Electrostatic discharge precautions (be electrically grounded) when making connections. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment, even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.

CAUTION

Remove system power before making all connections.

Video input and output (video switchers)

The switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.

RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers only)

The switcher can connect to up to as many as 32 RGBHV video sources, depending on the model. The switcher can output to as many as 32 RGBHV video devices, depending on the model.

On CrossPoint 450 Plus matrix sizes of 8 x 16 and larger, the connectors for each video plane are grouped together (all of the red inputs grouped together, all of the green inputs grouped, and so on). Ensure that you connect the input on each video plane to the corresponding connector in the correct group (see figure 2-11).

The CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, or composite video by using four, three, two, or one BNC(s). If switching a video format other than RGBHV, ensure that the same video planes (R, G, B, H/HV, and/or V) are used on the switcher output as on the input.

1Video inputs — Connect RGB video, component/HDTV video, S-video, or composite video inputs, as applicable, to these BNC connectors for each input. Figure 2-11 shows how to connect the RGB video format to each configuration.

2Video outputs — Connect RGB video, component/HDTV video, S-video, or composite video displays, as applicable, or other devices to these BNC connectors for each output. Figure 2-11 shows how to connect the RGB video format to each configuration.
