HD2200 SECTION 3 Installation UNPACKING THE HD2200 The unit is packed in a single carton. The contents of the carton are as follows: 1 HD2200 unit 1 Power cable 2 Spare a.c. power fuses 3.15 A (T) 1 HD2200 Installation and Operating Manual 1 Generic Power Supply Installation Manual Unpack the carton carefully and check for any shortages or shipping damage.
HD2200 SECTION 3 Environment Although ruggedly constructed to meet the normal environmental requirements, it is important that there is a free flow of air at the front, left-hand side (looking from the front) and rear to dissipate the heat produced during operation. Installations should be designed to allow for this.
HD2200 SECTION 3 CONNECTIONS All the connectors are mounted on the rear panel of the unit and are appropriately annotated. HDSDI Input Loop-through HD serial digital input (IN and LOOP). Genlock Reference External HD trisync or SD bi-sync analog reference signals may be connected to either (REF A or REF B) of these two loop-through BNC connectors.
