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.

To enable or disable a video channel, scroll to that channel type with the up/

an available input.

Numeric selection is not essential for the operation of Vantage-HD but does

 

provide a quick method of getting to the desired input.

 

 

After naming the input channel, scroll down to the Sound Source menu item

 

to choose the associated sound channel and press OK to view the list of

 

available sound channels. If there is no associated sound channel (e.g. for a

 

PC input with no audio) choose None. Only those sound channels which

 

have not already been allocated to another video input channel are available

Optical SPDIF audio where supported by the source.
