Installation
The Video Input Adapter is small and light, and therefore does not have any built-in mounting
hardware. You should ensure that it is installed and secured in a manner that will provide for
reliable operation. Take care to not damage the connector that mates the Video Adapter’s body
and its S-video / composite video input cable assembly.
The Video Input Adapter is supplied with a USB extension cable. The intent is to mount the
Video Input Adapter in a suitable location behind the panel, in reasonable proximity to the
SkyView display, and route the USB extension cable to the SkyView display and plug it into one
of the two USB connectors on the back of the SkyView display. (It is not recommended to plug
the Video Input Adapter into the USB cable connected to the 37-pin connector.) If the supplied
USB extension cable is unsuitable for your installation, another (longer) USB cable may be
substituted.
If video extension cables are used, consider using heat shrink tubing over the extension cable
connectors to minimize the possibility of the connectors migrating loose over time.
Setup Configuration
Unlike the typical “plug and play” experience with USB devices, a SkyView display only checks
for a Video Input Adapter connected during bootup. If your SkyView display is powered on
when you connect the Video Input Adapter, reboot the SkyView display (push buttons 1+2+5
simultaneously) for the Video Input Adapter to be recognized.
When the SkyView display has recognized the Video Input Adapter, a small blue indicator will
illuminate on the Video Input Adapter.
To configure the Video Input Adapter:
