Step 4 — Connect Outputs from MTP/HDMI U R

Digital video — Connect a display to the HDMI connector for digital video output.

Analog video — Connect the analog outputs as shown at right.

Audio — Connect a suitable audio device, such as powered speakers, to the 5-pole captive screw audio output connector for a balanced or unbalanced, dual mono audio signal. Wire connector as shown at right.

NOTE: The audio signal is detected on the MTP input and then is distributed to the audio connector for output.

RS-232 control (digital side) — Connect a serial communications port on a display device to the

3.5mm, 3-pole captive screw connector (labeled RS-232 pass-thru) for pass-through RS-232 bidirectional communication. Wire the connector as shown at right.

NOTE: The RS-232 control port on the analog side is not used in the MLS 608 D system.

Step 5 — Connect Control Devices

RS-232 control — Connect a host computer or control system (such as an optional MLC 226) to the 5-pin connector (see M on page 1) for MLS switcher configuration and control via RS-232 using Extron software or Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands.

Wire the MLS as shown at right.

NOTE: This serial port is independent of the front panel configuration port. Both may be used for MLS control.

RS-232 protocol (default values):

• 38400 baud •1 stop bit • no parity • 8 data bits • no flow control

NOTE: The ‘+’ and ‘-’ pins on this connector can be used to

NOTE: You must connect a ground wire between the MLC and MLS.

RS-232 Insert port (optional) — Connect an optional control

device (for example an MLC 226 IP via the RS-232 display control port) to the 5-pin connector (see N on page 1) for pass through RS-232 communication to a connected projector or display device.

Wire the connection as shown at right.

Step 6 — Connect Power

MLS 608 D — Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 110 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power source into the receptacle (see A on page 1).

Optional — Connect the 2-pole power connector (see E on page 1) for remote power to an MTP transmitter or receiver. Wire the connection as shown at right.

Optional — Connect the “+” and ”-” pins on the RS-232 connector (see M on page 1) for remote power to an optional controller (such as the MLC 226). See second note, step 4 above.

MTP/HDMI U R — Connect the 2-pole 3.5 millimeter captive screw connector from the 12 VDC,

1.0A external power supply (provided) to this receptacle on the rear panel, or connect to the 2-pole power connector (see E on page 1) on the MLS 608 D. Wire connector as shown at right.

For both devices, when power is applied the front panel power LED lights.
