EAS Hardware Installation
This section is intended for studio engineers who are actually installing the
EAS Messaging option to the Maestro system. System integrators or others
who are developing a system plan should refer to the Installation Planning
section of this manual.
The EAS option is a software only option that requires the previous instal-
lation of the Maestro Enhanced Branding Engine option. Hardware instal-
lation should refer to this and the installation instructions for the Maestro
Enhanced Branding Engine option.
Summary of Installation Procedure
The following is a summary of the steps needed for installation of the EAS
Messaging option to the Maestro Master Control Switcher. Generally, you
will need a NULL Modem cable and a RS232 to RS422 converter. Grass
Valley recommends using a RS-232 to RS422 converter.
Note For the Installation steps for the EAS device, see your Installation manual for

Pre-Installation Steps
Follow these steps before installing the standard Maestro system:
1. Inspect the shipping carton for evidence of freight damage before
unpacking the system. Carefully unpack and inspect all equipment for
freight damage.
If the contents have been damaged, notify the carrier and Grass Valley.
Retain all shipping cartons and padding material for inspection by the
carrier.
Do not return damaged merchandise to Grass Valley until an appro-
priate claim has been filed with the carrier and a Material Return
Authorization number has been received from Grass Valley.
2. Verify the installation and operation of the external matrix router (for
example, Trinix or Concerto) and control system (for example, Encore
or Jupiter) that is associated with the Maestro system.
