Setup and Installation
• Connect the power supply (F) and turn the unit on, confirming that
the power light comes on.
• Connect the MX-1’s OUT jacks to the VIDEO and AUDIO IN jacks of a
VCR (D). Connect a television/monitor to the VCR in the normal
fashion (A), so that you will be able to see the VCR’s output. Turn the
television and VCR on.
• Connect the MX-1’s PREVIEW OUT jack to the VIDEO IN jack of a
second monitor (E).
Note: These instructions assume a two-monitor setup. If you are using only
one monitor, connect it to PREVIEW.
• Connect a camcorder, VCR or other source to IN 1 (B). Connect a
second source to IN 2 (C). Turn on the video sources and start the
tapes rolling.
• Press SHIFT and AUDIO/VIDEO at the same time and the MX-1 will
automatically find and use the inputs that have video signals con-
nected.
Demo
• Press DEMO. You should see the two sources alternating, with a variety
of transition effects in between. (If only one source is connected, the
demo will perform transitions from that source to itself.)
