How to install Panasonic ET-MDN12G10
Installing the ET-MDN12G10 is straightforward when you follow these steps. Ensure you have the appropriate Panasonic chassis or workstation with available PCI/Interface slots and sufficient power for your SDI configuration. Power down all equipment before installation, and handle the card with care to avoid any damage to connectors or boards.
- 1) Power down and unplug your Panasonic system or chassis. Disconnect all external cables to prevent electrical shock or damage during installation.
- 2) Locate the available slot or interface bay in your chassis. Align the ET-MDN12G10 so that the connectors and mounting holes line up with the rack or panel guides.
- 3) Carefully insert the card into the slot, applying even pressure until it is seated securely. Secure the card with the appropriate screw or latch mechanism to prevent movement during operation.
- 4) Connect your 12G-SDI cables to the appropriate input and input/output ports. Route cables to minimize bending radius and keep power and data cables separated to reduce interference.
- 5) Reconnect power and all external devices. Power on the system and enter the software or firmware interface for configuration. Verify that the card recognizes both inputs and the two input/output channels, and test a minimal video signal to confirm correct routing and synchronization.
- 6) If applicable, update firmware through Panasonic’s management utilities and calibrate any timing settings to synchronize with other SDI devices in your chain. Perform a quick burn‑in test to ensure stability under typical production workloads.
