Installation
Mounting and Cabling
Step 1 — Mounting
a. Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources.
b. Mount the Annotator 300 to a rack using the pre-installed rack ears (see
gure 1), or use an optional MBU 149 mounting kit (part number 70-222-01)
for under-the-desk mounting (see gure 2).
Step 2 — Connecting inputs
a. Connect analog video sources to the universal connector (see
Compatible sources are RGB, YUV (HD or SD), RGBcvS, S-video and
composite video. Default setting for the input is auto-detect.
b. Connect a digital HDMI or DVI source to the HDMI connector (see
c. Connect a DisplayPort input source to the DisplayPort connector (see
above).

b. Connect either an Extron DTP device to this connector for transmission over
DTP (default), or connect an HDBaseT device if transmitting over HDBaseT
above). Set the DIP switch to DTP or HDBaseT as applicable.
(see
F
above).
E
CAUTION: Risk of damage to equipment.
DO NOT connect an HDBaseT unit if using DTP transmission.
The power carried over DTP may damage the unit.
Attention: Cela risque d'endommager votre équipement.
Ne PAS connecter une unité HDBaseT si vous utilisez la transmission
DTP. L'alimentation transmise sur DTP peut endommager l'unité.

Step 4 — Connecting control devices
a. For RS-232 or IR control over DTP, connect to the 5-pole "Over DTP" captive screw connector (see
b. For control through Ethernet, connect a LAN or WAN to the RJ-45 connector (see
192.168.254.254. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
c. For serial RS-232 control, connect a host device to the 3-pole captive screw connector (see
The default baud rate is 9600.
d. For remote contact closure control, connect a host device to the 3-pole captive screw connector (see
e. For control through USB, connect a host device to the front panel mini USB port (see
on page 1). The default IP address is

Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes)
The Annotator 300 has three modes of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the unit from the front panel.
Executive mode 0 (disabled) — The front panel is fully unlocked. This is the default setting.
Executive mode 2 (enabled) — The front panel is locked except for input switching. Can be set via front panel or by SIS command.
Executive mode 1 (enabled) — The front panel is completely locked and can be enabled and disabled only by SIS commands.
See the online Annotator 300 User Guide for SIS commands.
Enabling or Disabling Executive Mode 2 From the Front Panel
To enable Executive mode 2 or 0, press and hold the Menu and Next buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. The display indicates that
Executive mode is either enabled or disabled. When the Annotator 300 is in Executive mode 0 (unlocked), this selects mode 2 (locked)
and if in Executive mode 2, this selects mode 0 (unlocked).
When either Executive mode (1 or 2) is enabled and a front panel action is attempted (other than input switching and Auto-Image), the
LCD displays the status for 2 seconds. Executive mode 1 can be enabled or disabled only by SIS commands.
