CONNECTING VANTAGE-HD INPUTS

3.1.Introduction

It is now necessary to define which input channels are connected and to pair the correct audio channel with each video channel. To begin to do this, scroll down to the Input Connections menu and enter that menu by pressing the right navi-key.

By default, no video channels and no audio channels are active. You must define which channels are connected on the Input Connections menu and choose whether or not each video channel has an associated audio channel. Only those video channels which are physically present on your Vantage-HD are shown, those which are grayed-out require an additional expansion module.
