6. Setup and Installation
6.1 Physical Installation
Image Description: This image shows the AVMATRIX SD2080 unit with its detachable mounting brackets attached. The brackets are designed for wall mounting, providing flexible installation options.
The SD2080 comes with detachable mounting brackets for flexible installation. Attach the brackets to the sides of the unit using the provided screws. Once attached, the unit can be securely mounted to a wall or other flat surface.
6.2 Connecting Devices
Image Description: This diagram illustrates typical connection scenarios for the AVMATRIX SD2080. It shows various input sources like a Video Switcher (HDMI In) and PTZ Camera (SDI In) connecting to the SD2080. The outputs are then shown connecting to devices such as a TV, LED Wall, Recorder, and Projector via HDMI Out and SDI Out ports.
- Input Connection: Connect your HDMI source (e.g., video switcher, computer) to the HDMI IN port. Connect your 3G-SDI source (e.g., PTZ camera, SDI encoder) to the SDI IN port. The unit will auto-detect the active input.
- Output Connection: Connect your display devices (e.g., monitors, TVs, projectors) to the HDMI OUT 1-4 ports. Connect your SDI receiving devices (e.g., recorders, SDI monitors) to the SDI OUT 1-4 ports.
- Power Connection: Connect the provided power adapter to the POWER input on the rear panel. Ensure the threaded locking connector is securely fastened.
7. Operating Instructions
7.1 Power On/Off
Once all connections are made, connect the power adapter to an electrical outlet. The power indicator light on the rear panel will illuminate, indicating the unit is powered on. There is no separate power button; the unit powers on automatically when connected to power.
7.2 Input Selection using DIP Switches
The AVMATRIX SD2080 features DIP switches on its side panel to select the active input source. The unit supports auto-detection, but manual selection can be enforced if needed.
Image Description: This image shows the four DIP switches (1-4) on the side of the AVMATRIX SD2080. The switches are currently set to an "ON" position for switches 1, 2, 3, and 4. This configuration determines the input source selection.
Refer to the following table for DIP switch configurations:
| DIP Switch Setting | Input Source | Description |
|---|---|---|
| All OFF | Auto-detect | The unit automatically detects and uses the first active input (HDMI or SDI). |
| Switch 1 ON, others OFF | HDMI IN | Forces the unit to use the HDMI input. |
| Switch 2 ON, others OFF | SDI IN | Forces the unit to use the SDI input. |
| Other combinations | Reserved / Auto-detect | For optimal performance, use only the specified settings for forced input. |
Note: Always power off the unit before changing DIP switch settings to ensure proper application of the new configuration.
7.3 Signal Distribution and Conversion
Once an input signal is detected and selected, the SD2080 will simultaneously distribute the signal to all four SDI outputs and convert/distribute it to all four HDMI outputs. The SDI outputs feature equalization and re-clocking to maintain signal integrity over longer cable runs.
8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
- Storage: Store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use for extended periods.
- Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating. Do not block any ventilation openings.
9. Troubleshooting
