C		AC power connection — Use the provided IEC connector to
		connect the unit to a convenient power socket. The internal
		power supply will support 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
D		Video input — One female DB-15 connector is used for video
		input. Acceptable input formats include: RGBHV, RGBS,
		RGsB, RsGsBs, YUV (tri-level and bi-level sync), S-video, and
		composite video. (See page 2-9.)
E		Audio input (P/2 DA8 A and P/2 DA12 A models only) — One
		female 3.5 mm TRS connector accepts unbalanced audio input.
		(See page 2-10.)
F		Video outputs — Up to eight (P/2 DA8 series) or twelve (P/2
		DA12 series) outputs can be connected using female DB-15

connectors. The output signal format follows that of the input. (See page 2-9.)

NID bits on pins 4, 11, 12, and 15 are routed to Output 1.

G Audio outputs (P/2 DA8 A and P/2 DA12 A models only)

—Up to eight (P/2 DA8 A) or twelve (P/2 DA12 A) outputs can be connected using 3.5 mm 5 pole captive screw connectors. Outputs can be balanced or unbalanced. (See page 2-10.)

H	Mute controls — On P/2 DA 8 models, two 3.5 mm, 5-pole
	captive screw connectors will be used to mute video and audio
	from specific or all outputs. On P/2 DA12 models, two 3.5 mm,
	4 pole and two 3.5 mm, 3 pole captive screw connectors will be
	used. (See page 2-11.)
