through the RS-232 (or RS-485) control port, master/slave modifications, line
termination and device ID numbers.

6 INSTALLATION
6.1 Rack Mounting
Each of the Matrix Switchers described in this manual may be rackmounted in a standard 19” (1U) EIA rack
assembly and includes rack “ears” at the ends of the front panel. These devices do not require spacing above or
below the unit for ventilation. To rack mount any of the Matrix Switchers, simply place the unit’s rack ears
against the rack rails of the rack, and insert standard screws through each of the four corner holes in the rack
ears.
7 CONNECTING TO VIDEO DEVICES
Video sources and output devices (such as monitors, or recorders) may be connected to the Matrix Switchers
through the BNC type connectors located on the back of the unit. Bear in mind that the output signal format will
match that of the input signal format.
All signal connections that use more than one cable interconnecting between devices should be of equal length.
(Example: cables between a camera and the machine should be equal in length).
8 CONNECTING TO AUDIO DEVICES
Audio sources and output devices (such as amplifiers or recorders) may be connected to the machines through
the RCA type connectors (CVG-808
XL, CVG-606XL).
