Video Outputs

FireBall has several video output formats and connectors including:

2 S-Video

2 Composite Video

1 Component Video (480i interlaced standard definition)

All video outputs are active at the same time, so you can use as many as you like without causing signal degradation.

The Component Video output will provide the best possible video quality for the FireBall User Interface, but will require that your video system has an available component input.

One of the S-Video outputs is typically used for the optional Escient ETP-1500 touch panel to provide the user interface directly on the touch panel. The other S-Video output can be used if the installation has an available S-Video input or for a distributed multi-room installation.

The two composite outputs are typically used for an a/v distribution system, such as the Xantech AV-61 or the Niles ZR-4630/8630 distribution systems.
