AMX NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Quick Start Manual

Overview
The NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box (FG2254-10) facilitates the installation
and distribution of video, data, and audio to Modero touch panels located up to
200 feet (60.96 m) from the AVB box. This unit accepts either Composite or
S-Video from standard video devices. FIG. 1 shows the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET
Breakout Box.
For more detailed installation and operating instructions, refer to the specific
Modero touch panel instruction manual, available online at www.amx.com.

Connections and Wiring
A PSN power supply can indirectly provide power to a Modero panel by routing
power through the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box. FIG. 2 shows a sample
wiring configuration using both an indirect or direct PSN power connection for a
video-capable Modero panel. Refer to the online Modero Touch Panel instruction
manuals for connection options.

Sample wiring configuration on video-capable panels using this Breakout Box
The NXA-AVB/ETHERNET is an optional accessory for non-video capable
Modero touch panels but can only transfer Audio signals between the Breakout
Box and the target touch panel.
A PSN power supply can also directly provide power through the unit to a target
Modero panel. Refer to the specific Modero touch panel instruction manual for
detailed wiring information. FIG. 3 shows a sample wiring configuration for a
non-video capable Modero panel.

FIG. 3 Sample Wiring configuration on non-video panel using this Breakout Box
Note: AMX recommends using the above power connection examples when
connecting the breakout box to your touch panel. If you want to attempt another
configuration or if you want to use two power supplies, be sure to avoid any
potential ground loops that may occur in your connection configuration. Ground
loops can cause display errors with your touch panel.
Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET connectors and cables
The inputs and outputs on the breakout box are separated into front and rear
connectors. The rear connectors are used to input external signals. The front
connectors are used to communicate signals between the
NXA-AVB/ETHERNET and a target Modero panel. FIG. 4 provides a layout of
the wiring connection both into and from the breakout box.
