Signal Types & Connectors
The signal types and connectors for an Optima SD system are:
For signal specifications for these signals, see the chapters for the individual board types: 500 MHz on
page 35, Hi-Z sync on page 37, and stereo audio on page 39.
Cabling Video Connectors
The video connectors are color coded; the white BNC connectors are inputs and the black BNC
connectors are outputs.
For RGBHV signals, you need to attach corresponding input and output connectors on both enclosures
to route the entire signal. Three BNC connectors route the 500 MHz video signals on the enclosure with
the control panel and two BNC connectors route the Hi-Z sync signals on the other enclosure. FIG. 13
below shows the 5 BNC cable connectors attached for routing the R, G, B, H, and V signals through
Output 8. Follow the "AutoPatch Connector Guide" to ensure correct routing.
Before connecting all input and output video cables (and, if applicable, wires for stereo), attach the
cables and wires for only the first two source and destination devices and execute a test switch (see
page 31). When the test switch is successful, attach the rest of the input and output cables (and wires).
Tip: Using lacer bars or some other type of cable management system lessens the strain from cable
weight on the connectors and makes servicing the enclosures easier.
To connect video inputs and outputs:
1.
Fasten the cables onto the input and output BNC connectors (FIG. 13).
