Attaching Cables

When attaching Y/c 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 Y/c inputs and outputs:
1.
Fasten the cable pairs onto the input or output BNC connectors (FIG. 26).
FIG. 26
Fasten the cables onto the "Y" and "C" connectors
Make sure the video cable is connected to the correct BNC connector on the correct enclosure. Y/c I/O
boards look similar to standard and wideband (300 MHz) video boards, but the "AutoPatch Connector
Guide" identifies them.
