Attaching Cables - AMX Modula Instruction Manual

Attaching Cables

When attaching SD-SDI and HD-SDI input and output cables, refer to the sheet labeled "AutoPatch
Modula Connector Guide" that ships with the system. The sheet shows you 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).
Make sure the SD-SDI or HD-SDI digital video cable is connected to the correct BNC connector on the
correct enclosure. Digital video boards look identical to each other and to standard and wideband video,
vertical interval sync, and HV sync boards, but the "AutoPatch Modula Connector Guide" identifies
them.
To connect SD-SDI or HD-SDI digital video inputs and outputs:
1.
Fasten the cables onto the input and output BNC connectors (FIG. 77).

Terminating Connectors
For optimal performance, attach 75-ohm terminating connectors to all unused outputs (FIG. 78).
