6 Connecting the Distribution Amplifiers

This section describes how to connect the:

VM-5ARIIVideo Audio Distribution Amplifier, see Section 6.1

VM-20ARII1:20 Programmable Video Audio Distributor, see Section 6.2

iAlways switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VM-5ARII/VM-20ARII. After connecting your VM-5ARII/VM-20ARII, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

6.1Connecting the VM-5ARII Video Audio Distribution Amplifier

To connect the VM-5ARII, as shown in the example in Figure 5, do the following:

1.Connect the input video source (for example, a composite video player) to the VIDEO INPUT BNC connector.

2.Connect the input audio source (for example, the audio from a composite video player) to the AUDIO IN RCA connectors noting the right and left channels.

3.Connect the VIDEO OUT 1 to 5 BNC connectors to up to 5 acceptors (for

example, composite video recorders).

You are not required to connect two acceptors.

4.Connect the AUDIO OUT 1 to 5 RCA connectors to up to 5 acceptors (for

example, the audio input on the composite video recorders).

You are not required to connect two acceptors.

5.If needed, connect the VIDEO LOOP BNC connector to an acceptor (for example, a composite video display or another VM-5ARII) and set the termination pushbutton to 75Ω.

6.Connect the power cord to the unit (not shown in the illustration) and then to

the mains electricity. Switch on the power.

Use the power cord supplied with the unit.
