6 Connecting the RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher
To connect the RGBHV / Balanced Audio Matrix Switcher, for example the
VP-88ETH, do the following 1 (see Figure 6):
1. Connect up to 8 video / RGBHV sources 2 to the BNC INPUT connectors 3 .
2. Connect up to 8 balanced stereo audio sources to the AUDIO INPUT terminal
block connectors.
3. Connect up to 8 video / RGBHV acceptors to the BNC OUT connectors 3 .
4. Connect the corresponding balanced stereo audio acceptors 4 to the AUDIO
OUTPUTS terminal block connectors.
5. Set the dipswitches (see section 6.5).
6. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required) to:
The RS-232 port and/or
The RS-485 port and/or
The ETHERNET connector
7. Connect the power cord 4 .
Note that 5 :
You can use the VP-88ETH for various video applications (other than
RGB) such as composite video, Y/C (s-Video), YUV (component video)
and even SD – SDI signals (Serial Digital Video) on different inputs
You can use the VP-88ETH for parallel applications. For example, you
can use it simultaneously as a composite video 8x8 matrix and a Y/C (s-
Video) Matrix 6
When using the VP-88ETH in mixed applications (such as Y/C and CV
simultaneously), select the parallel output channels for the same format,
for example, if the Red and Green Channels are used for Y/C (the Red for
“Y” and the Green for “C”) then the output channels should be used
similarly (Red for “Y” and Green for “C”) 7
1 Switch off the power on each device before connecting it to your VP-88ETH. After connecting your VP-88ETH, switch on
its power and then switch on the power on each device
2 All signal connections using more than one cable to interconnect between the devices, should be of equal length
3 5 BNC connectors (RGBHV) per source/acceptor
4 Not illustrated in Figure 6
5 Including the RGB connectors but not the HV connectors
6 For example, the Red channel is used for composite video and Green and Blue channels are used for s-Video
7 In a mixed signal application all the input channels are selected simultaneously. For example, if used for Y/C and CV
parallel switching, then when input number 1 is selected, it selects both input number 1 of the Y/C and input number 1 of the
CV channel
