Attaching Cables

When attaching standard video input and output cables, refer to the sheet labeled "AutoPatch Connector
Guide" that ships with the system. The sheet shows where to attach each cable on the rear of each
enclosure. Follow the sheet exactly; the system was programmed at the factory to operate only as
indicated on the sheet. For multiple-enclosure systems, each enclosure will be numbered (e.g., "Chassis
1 of 3") on a label located on the left side near the power receptacle.
Signals may only be routed from the inputs on a board to the outputs on the same board because each
board has its own switching matrix.
To connect video inputs and outputs:
1.
Fasten the cables onto the input and output BNC connectors (FIG. 21).

Fasten cables onto input or output BNC connectors
Make sure the video cable is connected to the correct BNC connector on the correct enclosure. Standard
video boards look similar to wideband (300 MHz) video and Hi-Z sync boards, but the "AutoPatch
Connector Guide" identifies them.
