MV-6 - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer MV-6 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

MV-6 - Overview

The MV-6 is housed in a 2U height enclosure and is fed from a 100-240 VAC

universal switching power supply. The device can be controlled via the front panel

buttons and remotely via:

RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a PC, touch-screen system or other

serial controller

Ethernet over a LAN

3.1 Accessory to Medical Equipment (IEC 60601-1)

In the modern medical environment remote access is essential, for example, to

transfer clinical data between doctors and to train to medical students. The MV-6

is certified according to the IEC 60601-1-2, Clause 2.1.3, Medical Electrical

Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for EMC standard which is required

when accessory devices are used at locations where medical personnel and

patients are present.

The MV-6 constitutes an optional component that can be considered necessary

and suitable as part of medical equipment or for use as part of a medical system to

provide real time simultaneous video feeds to those present at the local medical

environment and at remote locations. In this environment, the MV-6 can be added

to the system ONLY if the connecting equipment has been evaluated and meets

the IEC 60601-1-2 EMC standards. Note, that when attaching accessory devices

to a digital or analog interface, they must comply with the IEC standard for which

they are used: EMC Standard (IEC 60601-1-2), Information Technology equipment

(IEC 60950-1 (2ed)).
