3 Quick Start
CAUTION: Never connect or disconnect parts of the system when the system is
powered up as this may cause serious damage.
3.1 Prepare for connection
Connection and usage are straightforward. However, care needs to be taken
with the following:
•
Ensuring parts have been correctly connected – both power & signal
considerations.
•
Checking that all switches and jumpers are set correctly.
•
The input signal is compatible.
•
Legal & safety requirements have been met.
•
If you are using supplied cables & accessories, ensure they are correct
for the model of video monitor.
•
If you are making your own cables & connectors refer carefully to the
video monitor specifications and the “Connectors, Pin outs & Jumpers”
section in this user guide to ensure the correct pin-to-pin wiring.

4 General Notes
The M3-320 is designed for use with Video Monitors and other analogue
signal input displays. Here are some notes for correct use:
•
Preparation - Before you proceed, please familiarize yourself with the
various connectors, jacks, switches and function buttons of the M3-320
unit (see the ‘System Design’ diagram).
•
The unit - Handle the unit with care; any knocking may cause
components to come loose and disconnect. Operate in a cool and dry
place.
•
Power Input: 12V DC, 1.2A (minimum) is required; this should be a
regulated supply. Power connector is using DC jack, 2.5mm diameter
(Center +)
•
Video output – Video - displays PAL & NTSC signals with composite
out. The PAL/NTSC switch should be set correctly.
•
Audio output – Audio - Stereo output. Master volume is controlled
through OSD with switch mount buttons.
•
DIP Switch settings (S3) – To define and select the source of output
and USB/LAN.
o
SW1-1 (Output selection):
DVI/VGA: If it is selected, the output resolution is set to
1280x720p60Hz*
Composite: If it is selected, the video format (PAL/
NTSC) is determined by SW1-2.
o
SW1-2 (PAL/NTSC selection): When using Composite output
connectors this should be set according to the input
requirements of the video display being used.
o
SW1-4 (Content update selection): You may only choose either
one way (LAN or USB) to update content without removing SD
card.

*An optional DVI to VGA adapter is required
•
Remote Ext. - Using the standard switch mount (p/n: 416101300-3) 8 momentary buttons for OSD config and video playback control
(standard functions (in simple play mode) being: Play, Stop, Pause,
Next Track, Volume decrease, Volume increase, Mute). An optional
function control device is a custom-made switch mount connected to
the switches and buttons connectors (CN6 and CN3) with a maximum of
16 momentary buttons
•
Remote Ext. cable - The cables (p/n: 426631800-3) to the switches
and buttons connector should be of suitable quality and length so that
impedance does not affect performance. Generally lengths up to 1
meter (3 feet) should be acceptable.
•
LED (LED2) - The power LED indicator shows power is being supplied
to the M3-320. The Status LED indicates the status of SD card.
•
RS-232 port – Requires RJ-11 to DB-9 extend cable (p/n:
426894301-3) for RS-232 connection. This serial port supports barcode
scanner and RS-232 command control. The baud rate must be set to
(9600, n,8,1) and record suffix is set to CR (0DH).
•
USB – USB Host. Use USB memory stick for content update without
removing the SD card. The M3-320 will reset power when the USB stick
is detected inserting into the USB connector or removing from the USB
connector. (For the details of USB content update, please refer to the
Application note.)
•
DVI out – Supports DVI or VGA. Both DVI and VGA signal are sharing
the same connector. A DVI to VGA adapter is required if connect to
VGA.
Note: This DVI/VGA out is currently set to 1280x720 resolution which may not
be supported by all monitors. If the display looks reasonable but not perfect
please use the OSD settings of the monitor to adjust image position and tuning.
(sometimes called Phase, H. size, H. Freq, etc) It may also be necessary to
adjust image size.

•
Infra-red (IR) - Supports IR control with DV remote control handset
(P/N:559000104-3). The IR sensor and cable kit (P/N:446010401-3)
are required. The IR control functions are shown as below.
•
Service & Warranty: Warranty is invalidated if the unit is dismantled
