R2, S-VIDEO 1 & 2 - These S-Video type connectors provide two separate S-Video inputs to the SDE24 Encoder. R3, VIDEO 1 & 2 - These two RCA type connectors color coded yellow provide two separate video inputs to the SDE24 Encoder. R4, AUDIO 1 & 2 - These four color coded RCA type connectors provide audio Left (white) and Right (red) inputs to the SDE24 Encoder. R5, This is space available for additional SDE24 Encoders which may be installed in the EH24 Encoder Host. R6, ASI OUTPUT - This BNC type connector provides ASI output of the multiplexed transport streams from selected encoders. R7, Cooling Air Vents R8, RS232 IN - Connection to a PC or modem for use with remote control / monitoring program or for firmware download. R9, RS232 OUT - Loop to another EH24 or other RS232 controllable device. R10, AC Line Cord ­ For connection to the nominal 120 VAC power source. This unit is designed for use in countries with 120 VAC power standards but the power supply will accept an input voltage range of 90 VAC minimum to 132 VAC maximum with a power line frequency of from 47 to 63 Hz. The maximum power consumption is 70 watts. Setup and Programmng / Software Flow Chart Programming and viewing of the various setup and operating parameters is accomplished using the front panel back lit, two line, sixteen character wide LCD along with the two LEFT and RIGHT `ENCODER SELECT' buttons and the five LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons. The name of the parameter is on the top line of the display and the setting value is on the bottom line. To observe a certain parameter setting without intending to change its value, just use the LEFT and RIGHT ENCODER SELECT buttons and the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons to navigate through the menus shown in the software flow chart below. The current setting for each parameter is shown on the bottom line of the display. Note that depending upon certain settings, some screens are not needed and will be skipped. 9 To make a change in the displayed parameter and its setting and if this is the initial setup, you will want to enter the `program' mode. To do this, press the ENTER button that is located in the center of the four arrow buttons and hold in for several seconds until the bottom line of the display begins to flash. After you are in the program mode (bottom line of screen flashing) use the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to navigate among screens and use the UP and DOWN arrows to change the parameter setting. When ENTER is pressed, the new settings will be loaded and stored and the unit will exit the `program' mode. You may wish to not press ENTER until you have gone through all screens and settings and then press ENTER to save and load all changes in one step, OR you can store just one or several parameters at a time and reenter program mode to set the next. Either method is acceptable.
