Connecting and Controlling the VS-81ETH

5.1 Connecting the VS-81ETH Rear Panel

This section describes how to connect the

VS-81ETH either as an 8x1 switcher

(see section 5.1.1) or in the reverse direction (see section 5.1.2).

5.1.1 Connecting the VS-81ETH as an 8x1 Switcher

To connect the

VS-81ETH, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates, do the

following

1. Connect a computer graphics source to the XGA INPUT of a

PT-110

XGA Line Transmitter and connect

the LINE OUTPUT on that

PT-110

to the IN/OUT 1 RJ-45 connector on the

VS-81ETH.

Similarly connect another computer graphics source to the XGA INPUT

of another

PT-110

XGA Line Transmitter and connect

LINE OUTPUT

on that

PT-110 to the IN/OUT 8 RJ-45 connector on the VS-81ETH.

You can connect up to 8 inputs

2. On the

VS-81ETH, connect

the OUT/IN connector to the LINE IN

RJ-45 connector on a

TP-120

XGA Line Receiver unit, and connect the

XGA OUT connector on that

TP-120 unit to the acceptor (for example,

a projector).

3. Set the dipswitches (see section 5.4).
4. Connect a PC and/or controller (if required) to the RS-232 port (see

section 5.2) and/or RS-485 port (see section 5.3).

5. Connect the power cord

To switch an input to the output, press an IN/OUT SELECTOR button.

1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-81ETH. After connecting your VS-81ETH, switch
on its power and then switch on the power on each device
