Quick Start — TPS150 Switching and Transmission System

Step 10

Connect a projector or plasma display to the receiver’s video outputs.

Output 1 — Connect a

VGA cable between the 15-pin HD female

connector and the VGA or RGB input on the display.

Output 2 — Connect a composite video cable between this BNC female connector and the composite video input on the display.

Output 3 — Connect an S-video cable between this 4-pin mini DIN female connector and the S-video input on the display.

Output 4 — Connect a cable between these BNC female connectors

and the component

video input on the display.

 

 

 

Step 11

Connect a serial cable between the receiver’s RS-232 Port connector and the serial control connector on the display for control of the display. See the drawing on page QS-1 to wire the connector for RS-232. See chapter 2, Installation, for RS-422 and RS-485 control.

Step 12

Plug the transmitter, receiver, and input and output devices into a grounded AC source, and turn on the transmitter and input and output devices.

Setup and Operation

Input and projector codes

When user-specified serial commands are programmed for the Input Select buttons and the Projector Power button, the transmitter sends that serial command to the receiver when the button is pressed. The receiver, in turn, issues the command to the projector.

When a user-specified power on (warm up) or power off (cool down) delay is programmed into the transmitter, the transmitter disables all front panel controls for the duration of the delay.

The projector power timeout function (if enabled) automatically powers off the projector after a user-defined interval.

See chapter 4, Serial Communications, to:

Program a serial command to each of the transmitter’s Input Select buttons.

Program projector power on and power off commands to the Projector Power button.

Set the projector power timeout function.

Program the projector power delays.

Transmitter Operation

Input Select buttons and LEDs select and identify inputs.

Blank button and LED toggle the video mute function on and off and identify the mute on or off status.

Projector Power button, when programmed, commands the projector to power itself on and off.

Projector Power LED, when lit, indicates that the projector power is on. The LED blinks during the power on and off delay (if programmed).

Some projectors use the same command for power on and off. If the same code is specified for on and off, the Projector Power LED blinks for each button push.

Volume and buttons

Increase and decrease the output volume.

Increase and decrease the selected input’s audio level.

Press and hold the appropriate Input Select button while you use the Volume buttons to adjust that input’s level.

Mute button and LED toggle the audio mute function on and off and identify the mute on or off status.

Receiver Operation

Cable Equalization Select button and LEDs toggle between high frequency and low frequency to equalize using the Cable Equalization button and indicate the selection.

Low frequency affects the visible image smear. High frequency affects the detail and sharpness.

Cable Equalization Adjust button increase (+) and decrease () the amount of equalization applied to the selected frequency range (high or low) of the output signal.

Skew Adjustment controls (rear panel) correct for the delay inherent in network (CAT 5) cable.
