Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). MPS 409 • Installation...
R-Y (Pr), blue color channels are used for B-Y (Pb), and green color channels are used for Y. NOTE: the MPS 409 does not scale or convert video. the input signal format will also be the output format. VGA video output — One 15-pin HD connector with the selected VGA/YUV video output.

Connecting the 5-pole captive screw stereo output connector Balanced or unbalanced program audio output is available on the MPS 409 using a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector. Refer to the following illustration for proper wiring. CAUTION: For unbalanced audio output, connect sleeves to the center ground pin.
Cabling the MPS 409 Switcher the MPS switcher can be connected to as many as 9 input devices simultaneously. It can output to as many as four devices (three in combine mode) simultaneously. Outputs can be configured for simultaneous outputs from each of the four input groups, VGA/YUV, DVI-D, HDMI, composite or one at a time from a selection of the nine inputs.

Combine mode switches a selected HDMI/DVI input to the HDMI output, deactivating the DVI audio and video outputs. this enables the MPS 409 to function as one 5x1 HDMI/DVI and audio switcher, adding VGA/YUV and Video inputs. Combine mode can be used whether the switcher is in separate or single switch mode.
