M300/ M301 Re:connect
Video switch
In order to be able to work
comfortably with the wealth of
multimedia devices that are
available, the video and audio
signals need to be controlled
intelligently. The M300 and
M301 Video switch from
offers you this comfort in some
impressive ways.
It can receive many different
video and audio signals and
then transmits them on to the
correct devices.
But it doesn’t just distribute
these signals, it also processes
them, using some incredibly
clean and powerful audio and
video drivers.
These high quality drivers are
even able to process the highresolution video format HDTV.
The video switch is controlled
through the M51.

Installation
There are two versions of the
video switch, which are
differentiated from each other
by the connector panel that
connects the video switch with
the M51.
M300
The M300 has a single SCART
connector that handles the
complete communication with
the M51, including the video
and audio signals.
Correspondingly, you need the
DVD MKII module with the
SCART Connector (Part no.:
1.551.083.02) for the M300.
M301
The M301 outputs the audio
and video signals through
individual RCA plugs.
Additionally, a patch cable (a
screened and uncrossed RJ45
cable) is needed for the control
functions.
Correspondingly, you need the
DVD MKII module with the
RCA connectors (Part no.:
1.551.083.03) for the M301.

M300 SCART version
The M300 is connected to the
M51 DVD MKII module using a
fully switched, 21-pin SCART
cable as shown in the figure
below. The SCART cable
delivered with the M51 fulfils
these requirements perfectly.
Important
The M300 only works together
with the DVD MKII Module (Part
no.: 1.551.083.02). The DVD
MKII module is easy to
recognise as it has an optical
digital output, as opposed to the
MKI module that has a coaxial
digital output.
In order not to reduce the
picture and sound quality, the
complete cable length (M51-
M300 + M300-Monitor) should
not exceed 10 m.
M301 RCA plug version
You will need two RCA stereo
pairs for the video signals and
two RCA stereo pairs for the
audio signals to connect the
M301 with the M51 DVD RCA
module.
Additionally, the M301 and the
M51 are connected with a
patch cable (a screened and
uncrossed RJ45 cable) for the
control functions.
The complete cabling locks like
the following:

M300/ M301 Re:connect
Video switch principle
Essentially, the M300/ M301
video switch is a set of external
connections where different
video output and different
recording devices can be
connected.
Connecting a video switch adds
an additional 6 video sources
(Video 1...6) to the M51 Source
menu.
These additional video sources
appear automatically in the M51
Source menu. If you want to be
able to call them with the
remote control, the Remote
menu must be modified (see the
Remote section in the
Introduction chapter).
The M51 then takes over the
complete control of the video
switch.
The figure below shows how the
different audio and video signals
find their way to the individual
devices.
Additionally; you have the
option of recording audio and
video signals with the video
sources 1 and 2 (shown below
by the arrows), e.g. using a
video recorder or video server.
