39
Audio right line opt.  Pin 39 is connected to pin 38 for audio right channel 
input impedance of 600 ohms , balance in (mic or line 
level). Not 
applicable for MDT-A 
40  Audio right GND  Not applicable for MDT-A 
41  Audio left +  Not applicable for MDT-A 
42  Audio left -  Not applicable for MDT-A 
43  Audio left line opt  Pin 43 is connected to pin 42 for audio left channel 
input impedance of 600 ohms; balance in (mic or line 
level). Not 
Applicable for MDT-A. 
44  Audio left GND  Not applicable for MDT-A 
For the MDT-A the I/O connector is limited to only power, ground, USB connections and 
RS232 functions. Analog video input functions are not provided. 
4.1.1.3  ASI BNC Input Connector 
The BNC connector is provided for accepting ASI (Asynchronous Serial Interface) data. 
The MDT-A can accept the ASI only data streams. 
4.1.2  Frequency Select Switches 
There are four external rotary switches mounted into the chassis of the MDT-A (see 
Figure 1 & 2). They are used to control RF frequency selection manually. Frequency 
selection can also be controlled through GMS control software; see section 6. The rotary 
switches can be disable or enable using GMS control software; refer to section 6.3.3.2 
under Configuration/Special Setup/Others. The most significant switch (SW100) 
represents 1000 MHz (0-9) units, the second switch (SW101) represents 100 MHz (0-9) 
units, the third switch (SW102) represents 10 MHz (0-9) units and the fourth switch 
(SW103) represents 1 MHz (0-9) units. Hence the highest switch selection can be 
9999MHz and the lowest is 0000 MHz. 
For example with the switches in the following positions, the frequency will read 2014 
MHz:
