Rear Panel Connections
C
Use Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions (be electrically grounded)
when making connections. Electrostatic discharge can damage equipment,
even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.
C
Remove system power before making all connections.
Video input and output (video switchers)
N
The switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The signal output by the
switcher is in the same format as the input.

On all CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers and CrossPoint Ultra matrix sizes of
8 x 16 and larger, the connectors for each video plane are grouped together (all
of the red inputs grouped together, all of the green inputs grouped, and so on).
Ensure that you connect the input on each video plane to the corresponding
connector in the correct group (see figure 2-12).
N
Both CrossPoint models can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component
video, S-video, or composite video by using four, three, two, or one BNC(s). If
switching a video format other than RGBHV, ensure that the same video planes
(R, G, B, H/HV, and/or V) are used on the switcher output as on the input.
