INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the MC-5,
Distributor, from MUTEC GmbH.
Please keep this manual for future reference!
General Function Description
The MC-5 is an extremely high-flexible routing matrix and distributor for
standard definition (SD) bi-level and high definition (HD) tri-level video
signals.
The unit offers simultaneous routing and distribution of SD and HD video
signals, regardless of the frame rates and formats of the incoming video
references. In this process, the input signals are distributed according to
your settings directly to the selected outputs without any alteration or
amplification.
For this, the MC-5 provides 4 BNC inputs which can be routed individually
to12 BNC outputs. One input reference signal can be distributed to one, but
also on up to 12 outputs. When inputing more signals the available number
of outputs will be reduced accordingly. But due to the routing capabilities
of MC-5, the number of the outputs for the individual input signals can be
assigned free.
Additionally, the unit offers a preset management which allows to store
and to switch over 4 different settings of all outputs. So, MC-5 enables to
configure the exact needed number of outputs for every video distribution
application very easily.
A new designed, simple user interface enables to install the MC-5 without
longer training time. Thus, the MC-5 provides an ideal output expansion for
MUTEC’s video clock generator products, e.g. iCLOCK, iCLOCKdp, MC-3.1,
MC-3.2 and MC-3.3.

INSTALLATION
Content of the Box
The unit was packed carefully. Nevertheless we recommend to check the
content directly after opening the package:
1 x MC-5
1 x Power cable
1 x Manual
4 x Rubber feets
1 x Registration card
Placing the Device
The unit should be set up as closely as possible to the devices to which it
will be connected, so as to avoid excessive cable lengths. Use the 4 rubber
feets enclosed with the appliance and stick them symmetrically on the
bottom side of the unit to protect the enclosure and supporting surface
from being damaged. When the unit is installed in a rack, the rubber feets
cannot be attached to save space.
The device can be mounted into a standard 19“ rack and will require one
unit. For this installation MUTEC offers an optional set of rack ears (MW05/19, order no. 8020-035). The mounting depth including the terminals is
175mm/6.9“. Another 150mm/5.9“ should be added for the required cables.
Additional slide-in rails on the rack inside are recommended for safe installation. This will also avoid long-term mechanical deformation of the housing.
If there are any damages please refer to
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, Initial Operation,
and WARRANTY REGULATIONS.
should be read carefully.
produced by radiators, heaters, or spot
lights! Sufficient air circulation in the
environment of the device must be ensured!
The condition of the packaging
material and the device should
be checked carefully additionally.
Before installing the unit the section
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS located
at the beginning of this manual
Never expose the device and
accessories to rain, moisture,
direct sunlight, or excessive heat
Wiring the Video Interfaces
To allow for the distribution of signals, the interfaces of all devices involved
must be properly connected to each other, so as to ensure a logical signal
flow. Always be sure to connect the video outputs of the MC-5 to the corresponding inputs of the devices you wish to feed with the distributed video
signal. Cable lengths should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal
losses and/or interferences!
For the transmission of video signals electrical, unsymmetrical cables with a
resistance of 75 Ω and BNC connectors on both ends are used. Typically, such
cables are marked »RG-59U, RG59B/U«.
Additionally, you should make sure that the video inputs to be connected
to the MC-5’s outputs have a 75
allow for enabling/disabling the termination with a so-called »terminationswitch«, which may be located on the outside or inside of the device.
For devices which have no termination of the video input, you can use an
additional BNC-T piece to terminate the input. Plug the T piece with its
center connector into the input of the receiving device. Then, connect the
cable coming from the MC-5 to one of the lateral connectors, and the other
connector of the BNC-T piece to a 75 Ω resistor forming the BNC termina-
tion.
Basically, you should avoid »looping through« video leads by means of
passive BNC-T pieces to preserve the signal quality, as level drops will be the
result. If there is no other way to wire your set-up, please make sure that all
video inputs (except for the last device in the chain) have their terminations
disabled! In a serial video chain only the last clock input should have a termination! Never connect more than three devices in series to one output!
Ω terminating resistor! Most video inputs
It is imperative that the lengths
of all cables connected are largely
the same, as this is the only way to
ensure that all devices will be synchronized
or feeded in phase (exception: cable tolerances).
Please make sure that the cable used has a
resistance of 75 Ω, in compliance with the
specifications! If a cable with a different
resistance is used, a dramatic deterioration
of the signal quality can be the result! In
this case, the perfect synchronization or
feeding of all devices involved could be
impaired.

OPERATING THE MC-5
PRESET
This menu enables you to set and to store four different set-ups of output
configurations. Its operation is very easy.
Choose one of the four presets (SET1 – 4) by pressing the SELECT button
repeatedly. When the desired preset is selected, define your output
configuration by setting the corresponding LEDs in the ROUTING MATRIX
OUTPUT menu (see below). After routing the inputs to the outputs, the
whole output configuration will be stored under the selected preset
number.
For programming of an other preset, choose a new preset number and
repeat the previously mentioned steps.
For changes within a preset configuration, select the preset which needs
to be modified and change the input routing in the ROUTING MATRIX
OUTPUT menu accordingly. This changes will be automatically stored under
PRESET
ROUTING MATRIX OUTPUT
The MC-5 does not allow to
combine two input signals and to
distribute these to one output. If
one input is assigned to one or multiple
outputs, these outputs can be not used for
other input signals at the same time!
The MC-5 does not supply any form
of redundancy or failure safety
for the output signals! When e.g.,
the video signals which are supplied at the
inputs fail, the output signals are also lost
in the same moment!
the selected preset number.
The factory default is set to SET 1.
ROUTING MATRIX OUTPUT
This menu enables you to route the four inputs individually to the 12
outputs. Thus, SD and HD video signals, regardless of their frame rates and
formats, can be routed and distributed simultaneously. For distributing
HD test pattern signals, you have to choose for every component signal a
separate input. Please make sure that the outputs are adjusted accordingly
to transmit the component signals correctly!
In this process, the input signals are distributed without any alteration or
amplification.
One input signal can be routed to one output, to multiple outputs, but also
to all 12 outputs. If more than one input signal is supplied, the number of
assigned outputs to the corresponding inputs can be different.
For assigning an input to an output, select the corresponding output menu
by pressing the MENU button repeatedly. Than press the SELECT button
to route one of the inputs IN1 – 4 to the selected output. The LED of the
currently active input of the selected output is blinking. If you press the
SELECT button furthermore and all four LEDs are blinking simultaneously,
the output can be switched off. After this adjustment is stored, no LED
lights under the corresponding output number.
The factory default is set that input IN 1 distributes to all 12 outputs.
