Mykerinos Connection
• J6 – 16 pin ribbon cable to the primary (master) Mykerinos card for TimeCode and sync. In order for
the MTCHIO Sync board’s TimeCode & Video functionalities to be fully operational, it is necessary to
connect the J6 socket to the primary (TimeCode Master) Mykerinos card, with the 16 pin ribbon cable
provided. In multi-board systems, by convention, the primary Mykerinos card is the one fitted in the PCI
slot closest to the graphics adapter. Note: video termination Jumper 4 on the TimeCode Master
Mykerinos should be set to OPEN when used in conjunction with MTCHIO.)
Jumpers and Power
• JP1 – 75Ω termination for the Word clock input signal
• JP2 – 5V from the PC power supply through the Molex (J2) connector (hard disk type connector)
• JP3 – 5V from the Mykerinos board through the 16 pin ribbon cable connected to the Video/TC
header.
The internal Molex connector J2 is used to provide +12V to the rear fans through JP4 and JP5 terminals. It
also provides alternative +5V to the MTCHIO module through jumper JP2.
WARNING: Never close JP2 and JP3 at the same time.
