Attaching Cables - AMX Optima Instruction Manual

HDMI I/O Board

Attaching Cables

When attaching HDMI cables, refer to the sheet labeled "AutoPatch Connector Guide" that shipped with
the system. The sheet shows where to connect the cables on the rear of each enclosure. (Multiple-
enclosure systems have an enclosure number sticker 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.
The input connectors are on the left side of each Optima board, and the output connectors are on the
right. Input and output connectors are numbered separately. The HDMI I/O board has 8 input connectors
and 8 output connector for an 8x8 configuration. Custom enclosures may contain other I/O boards for
additional signal types.
To connect HDMI connectors:
1. Attach HDMI connectors to HDMI receptacles.

Executing a Test Switch for an HDMI I/O Board
For HDMI boards, the system stores sink information when a switch is executed and retains that
information even after the switch is disconnected. Therefore, we recommend becoming familiar with
how HDMI switching works in an Optima by reading the rest of this chapter before executing a test
switch. Then execute the test switch to verify the system is working correctly, disconnect the test switch,
and clear the sink key cache (see page 83) before finishing the installation.
