Installation Recommendations
Installation Recommendations
Mounting
The unit is designed to install into a standard 19” rack. The unit should be mounted at approximately ear level for optimum frequency response and at eye level for optimum visual observation.
Heat Dissipation
DC Power
No special physical mounting considerations are necessary regarding heat dissipation except under adverse conditions, provided the ambient temperature inside the mounting enclosure does not exceed
40°C (104°F). Adjacent devices can be rack mounted (or stacked) in proximity to the unit. If the temperature is above 40°C, allow a 1RU
(1.75”/44.45mm) space above and below the unit for air circulation.
Connect the unit to its external 100 to 240VAC (50 to 60Hz) to 12VDC power supply (included).
Features
The RM-2435-HD audio/video monitor is designed for confidence monitoring of HD/SD-SDI and composite video broadcast signal
(CVBS) video sources. Input signals are automatically detected and accommodated. Up to eight of the sixteen audio channels embedded in an HD/SD-SDI bit stream may be selected for visual monitoring on eight on-screen bar graph style level meters. A Headphone Jack provides audible stereo monitoring of the left/right channels.
Each of the four high-resolution LCD screens display high definition or standard definition video at either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. Parameters are selected and adjusted using an On Screen Display ( OSD) MENU .
One function button may be programmed as a hot key for quick
