    AC Power Connections AC Power Connections The MC-2020 rear panel has fully redundant AC power supply connections to each chassis section. The recommended AC power cord is USI Part Number 42490-0003; Belden 17500, 10A/ 125VAC, 1250 Watts, max voltage rating 300 VAC.

  • Page 33: Video Input Connections

    Video Input Connections Video Inputs Including Digital Black, there are twelve video input connections in the MC-2020 chassis. The sources for the Serial Digital Video inputs must not exceed 300 Meters (1000 feet), using 8281 coaxial cable, and High Definition SDI Video must not exceed 150 Meters (500 feet) using1694A coaxial cable.

  • Page 34: Input Definitions

    Most sources will originate from an HD or SD router on site. The outputs from these routers are assigned to the various inputs on the MC-2020 chassis. Unlike the older analogue master controls, there is no cable timing required (cutting the coax cables to a specified length) if the cables are under the specified maximum length.

  • Page 35: Video Reference

    Flashing No signal is sensed The Video Reference connection block on the lower right corner of the MC-2020 Chassis rear panel provides an Input and an Output BNC connection. The Input should be connected to a Serial Digital Video Source (described above), which is IN-TIME and IN-PHASE with the HOUSE SYNC.

    2020 Port with a short length (1 foot or less) of UNET cable. This is a daisy-chained network and one port of the hub must be terminated. If the UNET port is unused on the MC-2020, ter- mination is recommended using the “Y” cable or white terminator box.

  • Page 41: Serial Ports 1 - 4

    These ports can optionally be configured to receive contact closures for remotely triggering functions of the master control system. Please contact Utah Scientific for details of this option. A Resistor should be used within the circuit to limit current, preventing the Relays or Optos from being damaged.

  • Page 42: Relay Optos Specification

    Optos = 10 milliamp (typical), 40 milliamp (maximum) - The voltage required to drive the opto must be between 5 to 12 volts. A 1k pull up resistor must be placed in line with the circuit above to prevent damage to the Opto. 3-13 MC-2020 System...

    Troubleshooting Subsystem Level Troubleshooting A switching system is typically comprised of the following subsystems: • Video System • Control System • Power System Fault finding is simplified by first isolating the problem to one of these subsystems. For exam- ple, if the audio-system is functioning normally, but there are problems with video, the problem is probably confined to the video system.
