Installing the P80 Console Media Adapter

About Channel Types

With the addition of the Media Adapter, the P80 console supports an extremely wide variety of television (TV) and video formats. In addition, working with an external receiver, the console can support some formats in more than one way. For example, some receivers can accept a combination of satellite, cable, and Internet channels, passing all of them to the console through an HDMI cable.

The following figure and table show the possible paths that TV and video signals can take to reach the P80 consoles in a typical facility.

Note: Some of these signal paths may not be installed at your facility.
