Operating basics Production description The ECO8000 Series Automatic Changeover Unit is a highly versatile automatic sync and signal changeover unit with configurations and capabilities required to address modern master sync application and other advanced sync timing application. The ECO8000 Series offers exceptional reliability, stability, and is designed with optional high-bandwidth input changeover capabilities for HD/SD and/or 3G-SDI signal environments.
(See page xi, Product documentation.) Power connection The ECO8000 Series operates from a single-phase power source with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. The line conductor is fused for over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding conductor in the locking power cord is essential for safe operation.
