This section provides Quadra installation instructions. All connections are made to the rear of the Quadra chassis. Refer to Figure 2-2 for the location of each connector.

Note

Ensure that Quadra is rack mounted before continuing. Refer to the “Rack Mounting” section for instructions.

Use the following steps to install the Quadra:

1.Connect Power — Connect a power cord to the AC Power Connec- tor. Quadra is equipped with a universal, 100-264 V, 50-400 Hz power supply.

2.Connect Inputs — Connect the desired video and/or computer sources to input channels 1 through 4. Please note the following points regarding the various input formats:

~Composite input — use a standard BNC cable.

~S-videoinput — this input can be used to connect S-Video or an additional composite video signal.

￿To connect an S-Video signal, use a standard 4-pin mini-DIN S-Video cable.

￿To connect a composite video signal, use a mini- DIN to BNC adapter, or a mini-DIN to phono adapter cable. Connect the composite video signal to the “Y” channel.

~RGB / YPbPr input — use a standard VGA cable with a 15- pin male D-sub connector. This connector supports 3, 4 or 5

wire connections. In Appendix C, refer to the “High Resolution Analog Connector” section for pinouts.

~Digital input (optional) — use a standard DVI cable. In Appendix C, refer to the “DVI-I Connector” section for pinout information.

Remember that for each channel, a source can be connected to each input (composite, S-Video, RGB and digital), but only one input can be routed to a channel’s output. You can choose which input to process by using the “INputSouRCe” command.

Refer to Chapter 4, “Command Line Interface” for a complete description of Quadra commands.

3.Connect Channel Outputs — Using DVI-I interconnect cables, connect channel outputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 to the desired destination displays. Please note:

~To connect to a DVI capable monitor, use a standard DVI interconnect cable.
