CLoop Through connector — If necessary, plug in an output device to the

Loop Through connector. The SDI input signal is equalized, re-clocked, and routed to the Loop Through connector. This connector may also be used for cascading to another 3G-AE 100.

NOTE: It is not required to connect a device to the Loop Through connector in order to extract audio from the input device.

DAnalog Outputs — Connect up to four audio output devices to the Analog Outputs, using a cable with a balanced or unbalanced 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector. Wire as shown below.
