DRAW THE WIRE CONNECTIONS
1. Move the mouse to the appropriate tab on the first device. The mouse pointer changes to a crosshair icon.
2. Click the tab. This anchors the wire line to the device.
3. Move the mouse to the appropriate tab on the connecting device. The mouse pointer changes to a crosshair icon again.
4. Click the tab to complete the connection.
5. Repeat for each device. When every device has been added, save the diagram changes by exiting the Device Configuration window. Refer
to the Close the Device Configuration Window section.
Drawing Tips
The mouse pointer remains a crosshair icon when you move to a compatible connection tab. If you point to an incompatible connection tab the
mouse pointer returns to an arrow and you cannot click the incompatible connection tab. To change the direction of a line from vertical or
horizontal or from horizontal to vertical, click the mouse at each change of direction.
NOTE: Press the ESC key to delete a wire before completing the connection.
Drawing Camera Connections
Draw a connection between each camera and an external switcher or one of the VMX210 workstation’s internal switcher card terminals. If the
camera is controlled through a serial connection, draw a wire from the camera’s control tab to one of the serial control (COM port) tabs on the
PC icon.
Drawing Switcher Connections
External switchers may be “stacked” to multiply the number of cameras that can be added to the system. To do this, connect the output terminals
from one switcher into the input terminals of another.
Drawing External Monitor Connections
Draw a connection between each external monitor and an external switcher or one of the VMX210 workstation’s internal switcher card terminals
(VMX210-SYS-Q only).
Drawing VCR Connections
Draw connections from the VCR icon’s video input tab and video output tab to the appropriate switcher tabs. Note that a proper routing path from
the video source must be available.
Drawing Digital Input Device Connections
Draw a connection from the digital input device icon to one of the serial control (COM port) tabs on the PC icon.
Looping Inputs
Video output nodes support the creation of multiple connections to video inputs on other devices. Click the mouse on the video output node and
draw the connections to other input nodes one at a time. This feature can be used to simulate looping inputs.
