Some common practices to avoid include:

•

Attempts to "hide" encoders in enclosed areas.

•

Closed cabinets with poor air circulation or no air circulation.

•

Encoders mounted too close to other heat sources or other electrical devices.

Quick Start Installation Steps

Use the topics listed below, in the order shown, to quickly set up your encoder. This

information may also be found on the Quick Start Guide that is provided with your encoder.

The audio and video connectors allow the encoder to receive audio and/or video from an

input source such as a video camera or a DVD player. (If you have a rack mount shelf, be sure

to install any encoder blades before performing this step. See: Install Blade Encoders)

1. Connect the video. On the back panel, connect one end of the VBrick-provided

"breakout" cable to the Micro-D15 A/V connector in Slot 1.

2. Connect the Channel 1 component video cables. Using the labeled component

connectors on the other end of the cable, connect the three "channel 1" component

video cables (YPbPr) to the three source video connectors on your video camera or

DVD player.

Note: There are two channels on each breakout cable for a maximum of four video

channels. For quick start purposes, you only need to connect one set of three

component connectors.

3. Connect the audio. Connect the "channel 1" (left and right) audio cables on the breakout

cable to the source audio connectors.

Note: The previous steps explain how to setup a 9000 Series encoder or a blade using

"component" connections. If you will be using the VBrick-provided HDMI (or SDI)

cable, you will need to change the

management application (

network.
