3. Signal cables Use only the best quality cables to avoid interference degraded signal quality and elevated noise levels Sockets and connectors of the sources and destinations Use only the highest quality since zero ohm connection resistance is the target Connectors should also match the required impedance 75 ohm in video to minimize return loss Amplifying circuitry Must have quality performance when the desired end result is high linearity low distortion and low noise Distance between sources and destinations Plays a major role in the final result For long distances over 15 meters between sources and destinations special measures should be taken to avoid high frequency cable losses These measures include using higher quality cables and or adding line cable equalizing amplifiers Interference from neighboring electrical appliances These can have an adverse affect on signal quality Balanced audio lines are less prone to interference but unbalanced audio should be installed away from any main power lines electric motors transmitters etc even when the cables are shielded CAUTION Only an authorized Sierra Video technician can service the switchers Any user who makes changes or modifications to the unit without the expressed approval of the manufacturer will void the warranty Use the proper AC voltage to supply power to the switcher Use only the recommended interconnect cables to connect t
