How to Install the Model 991 AutoSwitch™ Camcorder Stand
Patent Pending
The Model 991 AutoSwitch™ supports a camcorder on a retail display fixture, allowing the merchandise to be picked up for inspection or replaced in the stand for display. It is designed to be used with Audio Authority® switching systems such as the 2960 Camcorder Switcher. When applied in a 2960 switching system, the 991 offers two unique features: the camcorder's picture is automatically displayed on the system's television monitor when lifted from the stand, and the camcorders are electronically protected from theft.
Installation
Set the desired number of 991 AutoSwitches on the surface to which they are to be mounted, mark the mounting hole locations with a pencil and drill 1/8 inch diameter holes to accept the supplied screws. Drill a 1/2 to 1 inch diameter hole in the center of the mounting hole pattern of each AutoSwitch™ stand. Feed the trigger cable through the center hole and secure the 991 to the fixture with the black mounting screws.
Connect the trigger cable to a 2-pin header on an AccessEZ™ or 2900 Series switching module and connect a standard stereo patch cord for the camcorder to the A/V jacks of the same-numbered camcorder port on the module.

Connecting the Camcorder
