Each interface can connect to the computer or workstation’s local monitor and to a projector or other display device.

1.

Connect the computer to the interface’s "Analog" connector

 

(RGB 160xi) or "Computer" connector (RGB 164xi).

 

 

Extron does not guarantee the performance of the

 

 

 

 

interface if a low quality input cable is used.

 

2.

Connect the unbalanced stereo audio sources (computer or

 

other devices such as a CD player) to the front panel Audio

 

Input jack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wire the audio jack as shown in figure 2-11.
