Mounting the Switcher
The MAV component video models are housed in rack-mountable, 4U high, 17"
wide metal enclosures. The MAV S-video models are housed in 3U enclosures.
The MAV composite and audio-only models are housed in 2U high, enclosures.
The appropriate rack mount kit is included with each switcher. To rack mount the
switcher, do the following:

Cabling and Rear Panel Views
All connectors are on the rear panel. The switcher can connect to up to as many as
16 component video, S-video, composite video and/or stereo audio devices,
depending on the model. The switcher can output to as many as 16 video and/or
audio outputs, depending on the model. Figure 2-1 shows a MAV 1616 component
video and audio switcher. Figure 2-2 shows a MAV S-video and audio switcher.
Figure 2-3 shows a MAV 1616 composite video switcher without audio. MAV 168
switchers are housed in the same 2U, 3U, or 4U enclosures as their MAV 1616
counterparts of the same video and/or audio type, but have fewer output
connectors to accommodate the different matrix sizes they provide. Figure 2-4
shows a MAV 1616 audio switcher. Figure 2-5 shows a MAV 128 RCA switcher.
Some devices, such as VCRs, can be connected to both input and output connectors
of the switcher. Others, such as tape players or CD players, can be connected only
to the audio input connectors. An audio device and a separate video device can
share an input; the switcher is capable of switching video and audio separately
(audio breakaway).

MAV Series Switchers • Installation
If desired, mount the switcher in a rack (see Mounting the switcher below).
Turn off power to the input and output devices, and unplug the power cables
from them.
Attach the input and output devices to the switcher (see Cabling and Rear
Panel Views below).
If desired, attach an external sync timing device to the external sync
connectors (see External sync connection on page 2-6).
If desired, attach an MCP 1000 remote control panel master unit to the
switcher's RS-232/422 connector. You can also attach an MKP 1000 remote
keypad or MCP 1000 slave unit to the MCP 1000 master unit. Refer to the
MCP 1000 Remote Control Panel User's Manual and the MKP 1000 User's Manual
for details.
Plug the switcher and, if appropriate, the input devices and output devices
into a grounded AC source.
Turn on the input and output devices.
The image from each input device should appear on the output devices, and
you should be able to switch from one input device to another. If this does
not happen, double check steps 3 through 5 and make adjustments as needed.
Insert the switcher into the rack, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket
with those in the rack.
Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied machine screws.
