Installation
Installation of the 8920DMX module is a process of:
1. Placing the module in the proper video frame slot, and
2. Cabling and terminating signal ports.
The 8920DMX module can be plugged in and removed from an 8900 Series
video frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED
indicators reflect the initialization process (see
Power Up on page 11 ).
Frame Capacity
The 8920DMX module can be installed in all 8900 Series video frames but
with varying maximum quantities determined by frame cooling capacity.
Table 1 provides the power capacity, cooling capacity, and maximum
module count for each frame type.
Note Module capacity figures assume no other modules are in the frame.
Module Placement in the 8900 Frame
There are ten slot locations in the 8900 Series video frame to accommodate
either analog or digital video modules. These are the left ten locations.
Refer to
Figure 1 on page 9 .
The two slots on the right are allocated for the power supplies. For addi-
tional information concerning the Power Supply module, refer to the
Gecko
8900 Series Frames Instruction Manual.
The third slot from the right is allocated for the Frame Monitor or 8900NET
Network Interface module. These modules provide health monitoring and
control options.
