If desired, mount the switcher in a rack (see Mounting the switcher below).

Turn off power to the input and output devices, and unplug the power cables from them.

Attach the input and output devices to the switcher (see Cabling and Rear Panel Views below).

If desired, attach an external sync timing device to the external sync connectors (see External sync connection on page 2-6).

If desired, attach an MCP 1000 remote control panel master unit to the switcher’s RS-232/422 connector. You can also attach an MKP 1000 remote keypad or MCP 1000 slave unit to the MCP 1000 master unit. Refer to the MCP 1000 Remote Control Panel User’s Manual and the MKP 1000 User’s Manual for details.

Plug the switcher and, if appropriate, the input devices and output devices into a grounded AC source.

Turn on the input and output devices.

The image from each input device should appear on the output devices, and you should be able to switch from one input device to another. If this does not happen, double check steps 3 through 5 and make adjustments as needed.

Mounting the Switcher

The MAV component video models are housed in rack-mountable, 4U high, 17” wide metal enclosures. The MAV S-video models are housed in 3U enclosures. The MAV composite and audio-only models are housed in 2U high, enclosures.

The appropriate rack mount kit is included with each switcher. To rack mount the switcher, do the following:

1.	Insert the switcher into the rack, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket
	with those in the rack.
2.	Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied machine screws.

Cabling and Rear Panel Views

All connectors are on the rear panel. The switcher can connect to up to as many as 16 component video, S-video, composite video and/or stereo audio devices, depending on the model. The switcher can output to as many as 16 video and/or audio outputs, depending on the model. Figure 2-1 shows a MAV 1616 component video and audio switcher. Figure 2-2 shows a MAV S-video and audio switcher. Figure 2-3 shows a MAV 1616 composite video switcher without audio. MAV 168 switchers are housed in the same 2U, 3U, or 4U enclosures as their MAV 1616 counterparts of the same video and/or audio type, but have fewer output connectors to accommodate the different matrix sizes they provide. Figure 2-4 shows a MAV 1616 audio switcher. Figure 2-5 shows a MAV 128 RCA switcher.

Some devices, such as VCRs, can be connected to both input and output connectors of the switcher. Others, such as tape players or CD players, can be connected only to the audio input connectors. An audio device and a separate video device can share an input; the switcher is capable of switching video and audio separately (audio breakaway).
