Extron electronic MLS 608 D MA Installation and Cabling, Mount the Switcher, Unbalanced Output

Installation and Cabling

Step 1 — Mount the Switcher

Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and rack mount the MLS 608 D using the two supplied brackets (see image at right).

2U Rack Mount Bracket (use four lower holes)

Step 2 — Connect MLS 608 D Inputs

Video — Connect inputs from video sources to the applicable connectors marked “Inputs” (see B, D, and G on page 1 for connector types).

BInputs 1-3 — RGB (RGBHV, RGBs, or RGsB), component (bi- or tri-level), S-video, or composite video signals. See rear cover for connector pin-out table.

DInput 4 — Universal MTP (video and audio) input on CAT 5, 5e, or 6 twisted pair cabling

CAUTION: Do not connect the MTP cable to any LAN port, telecommunications network, or digital video output port. Likewise, do not connect a LAN cable to any MTP, or digital video output port.

GInputs 5-8 — Digital HDMI (HDMI 1.3) and DVI-D (using an adapter cable) inputs

Audio — Connect inputs from audio sources to the applicable connectors marked “Inputs”

NOTE: These inputs have +48 V phantom power available, and the LEDs light when power is present. This power is
turned on or off via software. “Off” is the default setting.

Step 3 — Connect MLS 608 D Outputs

NOTE: For TP cables with RJ-45 connectors, use the same standard (T568A or T568B) at both ends. See rear cover for details.

Video — Connect video output devices to the applicable connectors marked “Outputs” (see C, F and H on page 1).

CBuffered output — This signal is always tied to input 1, RGB (RGBHV, or RGBs), component (bi- or tri-level), S-video, or composite video signals.

FAnalog video output from inputs 1-4, output on CAT 5, 5e, or 6 twisted pair cabling to the MTP/HDMI U R receiver (see  on page 1)

HDigital video and RS-232 outputs on CAT 5, 5e, or 6 twisted pair cabling to MTP/HDMI U R receiver (see  on page 1) Audio — Connect audio output devices to the applicable connectors marked “Outputs” (see F, K and L on page 1).

CAUTIONS: • Do not connect L and R output channels to each other, or to ground. Doing so will short the outputs and damage the amplifier.

•Do not short the “ +” and “_” connectors together. Doing so will damage the amplifier.
