OVERVIEW OF MINI-T-NET WIRING CONNECTIONS

The drawing below shows a sample connection scenario for the MINI-T-NET. Video and audio
sources (VCRs, DVD players, satellite or studio feeds, character generator, etc.) are connected to the
8 MINI-T-NET inputs, while the MINI-T-NET output is connected to the desired destination (such as a
modulator). PC configuration and control is done over a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection.
NOTE: In order to use WinNET software, you must connect your PC to the MINI-T-NET via an
Ethernet cable.
VCRs and DVD players are controlled through the use of LEIGHTRONIX PRO-BUS interfaces, sold
separately for many brands and models of professional video equipment and available with infrared,
mini-jack, and multi-pin connectors. The PRO-BUS interfaces loop together so the user does not
have to separately connect each PRO-BUS interface to the Event Controller.
Input 8 on the MINI-T-NET is the designated fallback input. This means that if valid video is lost on
the output and a fallback time has been set, the MINI-T-NET will switch to input 8 when video has
been absent for the entered time. Place a continuous source of video such as a character generator,
bulletin board, or satellite feed on input 8 to act as the fallback in case of source equipment
malfunction.
