Standard output connections

The two Program Video outputs, consisting of five BNC connectors and a 15-pin HD connector, output the identical video signal and the same sync format. The two Preview Video outputs are also identical to each other.

The Program connectors ( 4 ) output the video image for the program monitor or projector. The Preview connectors ( 5 ) output the video image for the local monitor.

CAUTION

Connect the sleeve to ground (Gnd). Connecting the sleeve to a negative (-) terminal will damage the audio output circuits.

By default, the audio output follows the video switch. Audio breakaway, commanded via the front panel, the Ethernet link, or the RS-232 link, allows you to select from any one of the audio input sources. See chapter 3, Operation, chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide, chapter 5, Switcher Software, and chapter 6, Ethernet Operation for details.
