Attaching Cables - AMX Optima Instruction Manual

Attaching Cables

When attaching wideband video input and output cables, refer to the sheet labeled "AutoPatch
Connector Guide" that ships with the system. The sheet shows where to attach each cable on the rear of
each enclosure. Follow the sheet exactly; the system was programmed at the factory to operate only as
indicated on the sheet. For multiple-enclosure systems, each enclosure will be numbered (e.g., "Chassis
1 of 3") on a label located on the left side near the power receptacle.
Signals may only be routed from the inputs on a board to the outputs on the same board because each
board has its own switching matrix.
The example in FIG. 27 shows a BNC cable attached to Output 9 on each board to route the R, Gs, and B
components of an RGsB signal.
To connect video inputs and outputs:
1.
Fasten the cables onto the input and output BNC connectors (FIG. 27).

Make sure the wideband video cable is connected to the correct BNC connector on the correct enclosure.
wideband video boards look similar to standard video, Hi-Z sync, and HV Hi-Z sync boards, but the
"AutoPatch Connector Guide" identifies them.
