Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources. For tabletop use, affix the rubber feet.
For optional rack or under furniture mounting, secure the supplied rack mounting bracket
or optional furniture mounting bracket (see image at right) and mount the unit.
Step 2 — Video inputs
a. Input (top) connectors — Connect up to
two (PIP 422) or four (PIP 444) component
video, S-video, or composite video input
devices to these BNC connectors. The figure
below shows how to connect the various
video formats.
N Connect only one video format to each input.
You must configure each input to identify
the connected video format.
b. Input loop-through (bottom) connectors —
If desired, connect local monitors to these
female BNC connectors. The processor
buffers the video input and loops it out on
these connectors..
N The processor does not alter the video signal between the input and the buffered loop-through in any way. The buffered loop-
through output is in the same format as the input.
