2 Installation
2.1 Unpacking
Make sure the following items have been shipped with your FRS-1801. If any of the following items are
missing, contact your distributor or Miranda Technologies Inc.
• FRS-1801 HD/SD Universal Video Processor/Converter
• FRS-1801-110-DRP or FRS-1801-75-DRP Double Rear Panel. See figure 2.2
2.2 Installation in the Densité frame
The FRS-1801 and its associated rear connector panel must be mounted in a DENSITÉ frame. It is not
necessary to switch off the frame’s power when installing or removing the card. See the DENSITÉ Frame
manual for detailed instructions for installing cards and their associated rear panels.
The FRS-1801 has multiple inputs and outputs, and requires a double-width rear panel.
The FRS-1801 must be installed in the right-most of the 2 slots covered by the rear panel (as seen from the
front of the frame) in order to mate with the panel’s connectors. If it is placed in the wrong slot, the front panel
LED will flash red. Move the card to the designated slot for correct operation. No damage will result to the
card should this occur.
2.3 ABUS Connection to Companion Audio Cards
When the FRS-1801 is used in conjunction with one or two companion audio cards (Miranda’s AAP, DAP or
UAP series), the ABUS flat cable must be installed between the ABUS connector of the FRS-1801 and the
connectors on the audio cards. The ABUS flat cable is supplied with the audio card.

Note: If only one audio card is used, you must use the two end connectors on the ABUS cable, and leave
the center connector unplugged
