5.Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Installation instructions

Mount the MTP 4T 15HD RS in a rack as follows:

1.

If feet were installed on the bottom of the transmitter

 

assembly, remove them.

2.

Attach the included rack/through-desk mounting brackets

 

(part #70-077-03) to the unit using eight machine screws

 

supplied with the mounting kit.

For component video, use the R (R-Y) and R return pins (pins 1 and 6), G (Y) and G return pins (pins 2 and 7), and B (B-Y) and B return pins (pins 3 and 8).

For S-video, use the R, R return (C-chroma), G, and G return (Y-luma) pins.

For composite video, use the G pin and the associated return pin. For additional genlocked video signals, use the R, B, and associated return pins.

NIf the video input is HDTV/component video with tri-level sync, the transmitter’s jumper setting must be changed. See “Setting the Transmitter Sync Jumper (Component Video)”, on page 2-2.
