Attaching Cables - AMX Modula Instruction Manual

Attaching Cables

Important: If using Cat5 compatible S-Video boards – for information on installation and system setup,
first see "Cat5 Video and Audio Boards with TXs and RXs" starting on page 123.
When attaching S-Video 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).
Attaching S-Video Cables
Modula S-Video boards are equipped with locking S-Video connectors. When used in conjunction with an
AMX AutoPatch manufactured S-Video cable, the connector and the cable lock into place. Standard
S-Video connectors may be used, but will not lock.
To connect S-Video inputs and outputs:
1. Fasten the cables onto the input and output S-Video connectors (FIG. 31).
