INSTALLING YOUR VM2143VS 6
Step 1. Decide which type of input video signal
will be used on each input and what the
impedance requirements are of the input
source. Refer to Diagram 2 through
Diagram 5 for jumper settings. Note that
DC Coupling is most commonly used with
DVD players and VCR's and AC Coupling
is most often used with video
conferencing equipment and cameras.
Step 2. Slide the VM2143VS into one of the slots
on the top half of the V-Matrix™
Enclosure. The top half of the enclosure
is for input cards and the bottom half is for
output cards. Make sure that the
VM2143VS fits into place. Secure the
card to the V-Matrix™ by tightening the
retainer screws located on the top and
bottom of each cover plate.
Step 3. Connect a cable from the video source to
the input connector of the VM2143VS.
Note: The VM2143VS is an input card for the
V-Matrix™ system. An output card, such
as the VM2144VS, will need to be present
in the output portion of the enclosure in
order to get an output signal.
OPERATION 7
Refer to the VM2210BE V-Matrix™ Basic
Enclosure User's Guide (P/N 400-0167-001) for
complete instructions on using the VM2143VS as
part of a V-Matrix™ System
The VM2143VS card will operate successfully as
long as the card is installed properly and other
technical specifications are followed.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8
We have carefully tested and have found no
problems in the supplied VM2143VS. However, we
would like to offer suggestions for the following:
8.1 CARD LED'S ARE NOT ON
There are two LED's on the VM2143VS that
indicate power is being supplied to the card.
The LED's are toward the bottom of the card
and facing to the left as viewed from the back of
the enclosure. It may be necessary to remove
other cards to see the LED's.
Cause 1: Enclosure has no power.
Solution: Make sure the V-Matrix enclosure is
plugged in and the power switch is
ON. The LED's on the front of the
enclosure should be ON. If the
enclosure has power and its LED's
are ON, see Cause 2.
Cause 2: Card has no power.
Solution: Check the LED's on the card. Both
must be ON for the unit to function
properly. If one or both of the LED's
are OFF, make sure the board is
pushed in all the way. If the LED's
are still not ON, see Cause 3.
Cause 3: Card cage slot has a problem.
Solution 1: Test the card in other slots of the
enclosure. If the slot was damaged,
the card may work in other slots. If
other slots work and the LED's light,
the problem is the card cage slot.
The enclosure may require service.
Call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300. If
the other slots do not work and the
LED's are still not ON, see
Solution 2.
Solution 2: Take any other known good card
and verify that the slot used is good
by seeing if the other card’s LED's
light in that slot. If they light, then the
original card may be the source of
the problem. Call ALTINEX at
(714) 990-2300.
