Limitation On Use

• If the total layer quantity in the current preset or the preset to be switched exceeds 16x SL layers, 8x DL layers or 4x 4K layers, the fade transition effect is not supported, while the cut transition is enabled by default.
• The layer capacity is matched with the input connector capacity. If the specification of the connected input source is lower than the connector capacity, the latter shall prevail. For example, an input source with the resolution of 1080p is connected to an HDMI 2.0 connector, and use this connector to add a layer. The layer capacity is 4K instead of SL.
• Only the H_4xfiber input card supports input mosaic on a single card, while the mosaic source cannot be cropped.
• The backup relationship cannot be set for NDI or IPC sources.

Notes and Cautions

Notes For Battery

• The battery is not intended to be replaced.
• Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery can result in an explosion.
• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

Notes for Installation

When the product needs to be installed on the rack, 12 screws at least M5*8 should be used to fix it. The rack for installation shall bear at least four times the total weight of the mounted equipment.

A. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

E. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
