Making Signal Connections
How to make video signal connections
1 Locate the input connections at the rear of the router, as shown in Figure 3-8 on page 51. There
are 16 BNC connectors on each SD, SWB or analog video backplane.
2 For each input, connect using a BNC connector and 75 Ω cable.
3 Connect the other end of the cable to the source of the incoming signal.
4 Locate the output connections on the rear of the router, as shown in Figure 3-8 on page 51.
5 For each output, connect using a BNC connector and 75 Ω cable.
6 Connect the other end of the cable to the distribution destination for the outgoing signal.
7 Make other signal connections, as needed.
Time Code Signals
Time code signals are received and distributed through Phoenix connectors. Connectors are housed
on backplanes installed in the router’s rear back plate. The backplane contains 16 connections
labeled ‘1’, ‘2’ and so on up to ‘16’. The labels correspond to the signal number assigned to the sig-
nal passing through that connector. (See
Backplanes on page 13.)
Before making connections, review Phoenix wiring information. See About Phoenix Connectors on
page 51.
How to make connections for time code signals
1 Locate the time code input connections on the rear of the router, as shown in Figure 3-8 on page
51. There are 16 Phoenix connectors on each time code backplane.
2 For each input, connect using a Phoenix connector and 110 Ω twisted pair cable or coaxial
cable, whichever you prefer. (See About Phoenix Connectors on page 51.)
3 Connect the other end of the cable to the source of the time code signals.
4 Locate the time code output connections on the rear of the router, as shown in Figure 3-8 on
page 51.
5 For each output, connect using a Phoenix connector (1 positive, 1 negative and 1 ground) and
110 Ω twisted pair cable or coaxial cable, whichever you prefer. (See About Phoenix Connec-
tors on page 51.)
6 Connect the other end of the cable to the signal destination.
7 Make other signal connections, as needed.
Machine Control Signals
Machine control signals are received and distributed through 16 RJ-45 connectors labeled ‘1–4’,
‘5–8’, ‘9–12’ and ‘13–16’. Connectors are housed on a backplane installed in the back plate. The
labels correspond to the signal numbers assigned to signals passing through that connector. (See
Backplanes on page 13.)
Machine control signal connections can be 16 RJ-45 connectors on a backplane or 64 DE9 connec-
tors on a Machine Control converter backplane. For more information, see
Machine Control Break-
out Panel on page 14.
