NThe SDI/HD-SDI video input is available only on the ISS 506 DI/DVI, the ISS 506 DI/SC, and the ISS 506 DI/HD-SDI.

NAlthough all video formats can be physically connected, input 6 cannot accept multiple video inputs simultaneously.

E	Input audio connectors — Connect balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono
	audio to these 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors. Connectors are
	included with the seamless switcher, but you must supply the audio cable.
	Figure 2-6 shows how to wire a connector for the appropriate input type. Use
	the supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the connector.
	High impedance is generally over 800 ohms.

CThe length of the exposed (stripped) portion of the copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter bare wires are not secure enough in the direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.

NWhen making connections for the seamless switcher from existing audio cables, see figure 2-7. A mono audio connector consists of the tip and sleeve. A stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring, and sleeve. The tip, ring, and sleeve wires are also shown on the captive screw audio connector diagram, figure 2-6.

The audio level for each input can be individually set via the front panel, the Ethernet link, or the RS-232/RS-422 link, to ensure that the level on the output does not vary from input to input. See chapter 3, “Operation”, chapter 4, “SIS Programming and Control”; and chapter 5, “Scaler Software”, for details.
