Installing a video module
1. Follow the instructions in Opening the switcher on page B-2 to remove the top
cover.
2. Remove the bus ribbon cable that connects the video and audio modules to
the front panel board by pressing the two receptacle
tabs on the top cable outward, as shown at the left, and
pulling back gently on the cable connector to remove it
from the receptacle. Do this for each video or audio
board connection and move the ribbon cable out of the
way.
3 . Follow the instructions in Removing a video module on page B-5 to remove any
existing video modules and set them aside.
4 . Remove any plastic plugs that are located where they will block the
installation of video modules to be installed by
squeezing the locking tabs together and pushing the
plug out through the back of the chassis.
If you are also installing or removing an audio
module, see Installing an audio module, step
3, on page B-6 or Removing an audio
module on page B-7, before continuing to
install the video modules. Return here when
finished with the audio module procedure.
5 . Mount the new video module(s) and any module(s) removed in step 3,
starting at the lowest required video module location. For example, if
upgrading the switcher from composite video to S-video, mount a video
module in the second location, and the next module in the top location,
leaving the bottom video module location empty.
a . Insert the video module into the Matrix 50 switcher chassis and position
the module such that its BNC connectors protrude through the holes in
the switcher’s rear panel in the proper module location (figure B-3).

rear panel by installing a hex nut on each BNC connector on the video
module.
