Process for Assembling an idrive 4 channel video splitter
The Same process is used for the single channel video booster
File:D8 single channel 1.jpgFile:D8 single channel 2.jpg
Step 1: Insert the 4 PCB Boards
- Slide Each PCB board sequentially in the 4 slots, making sure all boards have the same orientation as in the images below
Note: Use the idrive logo on the case as a reference point when determining correct orientation
Step 2: Affix the Input and Output Face-plates
Note: The Input side of the PCB has only 1 connector as well as four small led indicator lights
Note: The Output side of the PCB has 2 connectors
- Place each face-plate flush with the connectors and use four of the provided screws to secure it to the case
- Use Lock washers to ensure screws remain tight.
Step 3: Secure 12 Connector Nuts
- Fasten the 12 nuts tightly to the case as in the images below
Do not over torque (tighten them)
Step 4: Test each channel using a D4 or D8
Connect custom cable from the "MON CH*" connector on the Splitter to one of the Camera Connection on the D4/D8 (this powers the channel)
Connect custom cable from the "CAM CH*" connector on the Splitter to a test Camera (This supplies the Video input)
Connect provided cable from the "DVR CH*" connector on the Splitter to a Second Camera Connection on the D4/D8(Split Video)
Power on the DVR and confirm there are 2 channels of clear Video
Step 5: Attach Serial Number Label
Create 2 labels for each serial number (one for the Video Splitter and the other for the outside of the box):
- S/N 1780425 - 1780550
Print with the Zebra Printer used for X1 & X2 Labels in the RMA area
After each print session save the last label in the system so we know where we left off.
Step 6: Package the Splitter Kit
Place the following in a box:
- QTY 1 RTH-605-1043 = 4pin MiniDin-Male (S-video) to M12 5pin -Female Need and Item Number in AC to sell replacements
- QTY 1 RTH-605-1044 = 4pin MiniDin-Female (S-video) to M12 5pin -Female Need and Item Number in AC to sell replacements
- QTY 1 RTH-605-1045 = M12 4pin - Female to GX12 4pin -Female (Aviation type) Need and Item Number in AC to sell replacements
- QTY 1 IDRD8BNSFSPLITTER (Video Splitter)
- QTY 4 IDRDVREXTCAB3M (3meter extension cable)
- Packing list
Attach the second label with corresponding serial number label to the Outside of the box.

Cable Notes
1. RTH-605-1043 = 4pin MiniDin-Male (S-video connector) to M12 5pin -Female = cable that connects video splitter to ECCO Video Monitor
- RTH-605-1043 = M2S cable (monitor to splitter)
- MiniDin-M connector of M2S cable plugs into ECCO monitor connector and M12-5pin connector goes to connector J1 of video splitter (Nor/Mirror, Audio signals and power are passed through Video spliter board)
2. RTH-605-1044 = 4pin MiniDin-Female (S-video connector) to M12 5pin -Female = cable that connects ECCO_C2000 camera to video splitter
- RTH-605-1044 = C2S cable (camera to splitter)
- MiniDin-F connector of C2S cable plugs into C2000 camera connector and M12-5pin connector goes to connector J3 of video splitter (Nor/Mirror, Audio signals and power are passed through Video spliter board)
3. RTH-605-1045 = M12 4pin - Female to GX12 4pin -Female (Aviation type) = cable that connects video splitter to Idrive DVR
- RTH-605-1045 = D2S cable (DVR to splitter)
- GX12(aviation) connector of D2S cable plugs into Idrive DVR and M12-4pin connector goes to connector J2 of video splitter (only video signal and ground are normally going to DVR, the audio will be available to DVR, only, if you place jumper on J4)
Note: The M12(picture attached) connector is NOT Aviation type , GX12 connector (the one that goes to Idrive DVR) is the only Aviation type connector used.
The Video splitter is powered by the ECCO monitor and C2000 camera is also powered from the ECCO monitor , the other signals present at C2000 connector are passed-through the Video Monitor.
Idrive DVR has only Video signal and GND (obviously we need that) in common with Video splitter, audio signal is optional (by placing J4 jumper).
Testing Support
Test Cables for powering with D4/D8
This is a “drawing” for the cables I made to test the video splitter boards using our D4/D8 DVRs and regular cameras. We do not have the BNSF monitor system with the S-Video Style connector to power the splitter.
Parts to make a 2 cables (one Male one Female) are 2 Conec 43-0094 connectors and 1 DVR extension cable cut in half.
For the Splitter to 2nd DVR input we will use the Adaptor cable you had produced.
