Panel Connectors
FIG. 2 shows the connectors located on the 1500VG Modero Multimedia touch
panels.
NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box
FIG. 3 shows the front and rear connectors on the NXA-AVB/RGB breakout
box. This breakout box can be mounted on either a horizontal flat surface or
into an equipment rack (using an optional AC-RK Rack Kit).
Wiring the NXA-AVB/RGB Connectors and Cables
The inputs and outputs on the breakout box are separated into front and rear
connectors. The rear connectors are used to input external signals. The front
connectors are used to communicate signals between the NXA-AVB/RGB and
a target Modero panel. FIG. 4 provides a layout of the wiring connections on
both sides of the breakout box. Power should be applied to the
NXA-AVB/RGB only after all connections have been secured onto both
the breakout box and the target panel.
Use the NXA-MTC/RGB cable to provide both communication and 10/100
network connectivity between the target panel, NXA-AVB/RGB, NetLinx
Master, and the network.
The RJ-45 connector is used to route the signals connected to the RGB /
Component input port on the rear of the AVB/RGB Breakout Box to the
VG-Series Modero panel. Standard CAT5 cable can be used for this
connection with short cable runs under 50 feet (15.24 m). For cable runs over
50 feet (15.24 m), AMX recommends using the Belden Brilliance VideoTwist
7987. This Belden cable is not CAT5 compliant, but is designed to control skew
between the red, green, and blue video signals. Therefore, for longer cable
runs, the video quality will be much higher using the Belden VideoTwist 7987
cable versus standard CAT5 (or other Ethernet compliant cables).
Wiring for Unbalanced Audio
