Video Cabling
Video cabling is set up a bit different than the RJ11 cables. If all units
will be using the same video source, then a cable may be connected to
each unit’s VIDEO-IN connector using BNC T-adapters. Note,
however, that the 75 ohm termination jumper on the MCG-2 (JP9) must
be removed on all but the physically last unit on the cable (see
JUMPER SETTINGS in Part Three). The rules for connecting the
video cables to the MCG-2 units are the same as for connecting several
monitors (without loop through) to one video source. The MCG-2
VIDEO-OUT
connector is connected to a video monitor. The monitor
should be terminated with 75 ohms.
If the MCG-2 units will use separate video sources, then connect each
video source to its MCG-2, and leave the MCG-2 terminator jumper
(JP9) in place.
If it is not convenient to run video cables over a long distance, and a
black background video is acceptable, you may consider placing a
black burst generator at the MCG-2 remote location. Burst Electronics
manufactures a full line of black burst generators. Call for more
information.
